Drawing is a super fun activity, especially when you get to draw a cute Arctic fox! Let’s learn how to draw one step by step using colored pencils. Get your paper and pencils ready, and let’s begin!
1. Draw two oval shapes for the eyes in the middle of your paper, but a little to the left.
2. Inside each oval, draw a tiny circle in the top right corner and another in the bottom left corner.
3. Color the big oval, leaving the tiny circles white to make the eyes look friendly.
1. Below the eyes, draw a U-shape for the nose.
2. Connect the top of the U-shape and color it in.
1. Draw a U-shape for the bottom of the head, with a rounded point at the bottom for the jaw.
2. Draw a line from each cheek to meet under the nose.
3. Add zigzag lines on each cheek to show fur.
1. Make two big upside-down V shapes for the ears, making sure they look the same.
2. Add curved lines and zigzag patterns inside the ears for the inner fur.
1. For the top of the head, start at the right ear and draw a zigzag line that goes down to the cheek fur.
2. Keep adding zigzag lines to make it look fluffy.
1. Start with the chest fur by drawing a line from the nose, then a zigzag line that curves down and back up.
2. Draw a small line for the neck and curve it down to make the back.
3. For the front legs, draw two lines down, then create the back of the legs without connecting them. Finish with a curved line for the feet.
1. Draw the belly with a curved line and outline the back legs, starting higher and curving back.
2. Add the back paws with a big curve that connects to the leg lines.
3. Draw the toes by adding two small lines on each paw.
1. Make a fluffy tail by drawing a big question mark shape next to the body.
2. Add a curve at the end of the tail for a natural look.
1. Once your drawing is done, start coloring. Use light blue for shadows, but keep most of the fox white.
2. Blend the blue with a white pencil for a softer look.
3. Add a little pink to the cheeks for a rosy, cold-weather glow.
1. Use a black marker to outline your Arctic fox for a bolder look.
2. Check your drawing and make any changes you want.
Yay! You’ve drawn an Arctic fox! Remember, the more you practice, the better you’ll get. Try drawing again or use different colors and styles. Have fun with your art, and happy drawing!
Fox Observation Walk: Take a walk in your neighborhood or a nearby park with a grown-up. Look for animals or pictures of animals that have fur like the Arctic fox. Notice the colors and patterns of their fur. How do they compare to the Arctic fox you drew? Draw a picture of one animal you see and share it with your class.
Color Mixing Experiment: Use your colored pencils to explore how different colors can create new shades. Try mixing light blue and white on a separate piece of paper to see how they blend. Can you make a new shade that you like? Use this new shade to add more details to your Arctic fox drawing or create a new drawing of a different animal.
Story Time with Your Arctic Fox: Imagine your Arctic fox is the main character in a story. Where does it live? What adventures does it go on? Write a short story or tell a story to a friend or family member about your Arctic fox. Draw a picture of one scene from your story to share with your class.
