Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Fox (Cartoon)" video after each step to draw at your own pace.

Written step-by-step video tutorial:

For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw two curved lines next to each other for the cartoon fox's eyes. Sketch lightly at first so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake. When you get the shape right, darken the lines and make them thick. The shape of the curved lines should be similar to a half-circle. Pay attention to the placement of the curved lines. Don't draw them too far apart.

Step 2: Under each curved line, draw a small circle for the fox's irises. The circle on the left should be close to the right tip of the line. The circle on the right should be closer to the middle of the curved line.

Step 3: Inside each iris, off to the side, draw a tiny circle to represent glare. In the middle of each iris, draw a big dot for the pupils. Don't shade the tiny circles. Add a short line over each eye for the fox's eyebrows.

Step 4: Below the eyes, slightly to the left, draw a small triangle for the fox's nose.

Step 5: Below the nose, draw a wavy line for the mouth. The shape of the mouth should be similar to the letter w. Now curve the left tip of the mouth up toward the eye to create the rest of the fox's muzzle. Add a couple of short, curved lines under the mouth for the chin.
