A drawing of a Red Fox, made with the help of an easy step by step tutorial.

Drawing a fox from the side gives students a chance to notice one of its most distinctive features — the darker coloring on the lower legs and feet. And if you think blending is something you can only do with oil pastels, crayons might surprise you. Most black crayons will blend nicely with other colors if students go back and forth and overlap the colors several times. The goal is to create a soft transition between the dark feet and whatever reddish-orange color they choose for the body.

Not every animal keeps its recognizable “look” when you simplify it down to just a few basic shapes, but I think a fox is one of the exceptions. The long nose, large pointed ears, sturdy legs, and big fluffy tail are all still there. Put them together and the drawing definitely says, “I am a fox.” Not a dog, not a wolf — most definitely a fox.
