WATCH OUT, HUGE MONSTER! oO

besides the popular "why do you love foxes"- question, the most popular question people ask me is "can you give me tips on drawing foxes?" or something like that.

well...here we go. a long long long promised, crappy tutorial about drawing foxes. (btw. while browsing through dA i realized that there are - as always - a dozen wolf tutorials while you just rarely find good fox tutorials...bla. i love it to be a rebel :P )

cave: this tutorial doesn´t show the basics of drawing, it just give you tips about drawing foxes.

hopefully it can help you here and there....


several things i have to mention:
the poses and headshots were inspired by natural fox photographies to keep the images anatomically as correct as possible.

the photos are (c) to their much respected photographers.
unfortunately i wasn´t able to find out those. if you know some of these photographers, please tell me so i can add their names down here. thank you :)

tutorial (c) moi.

several inspiration is also taken from
"carving wolves, foxes and coyotes" by desiree hajny
and from
"der rotfuchs" by fritz koenen


EDIT:
okay...at first thank you very much for the support, i was like "woah, geez! D:" when i came online today and suddenly i got about 1,000 messages more...thank you guys, i hope the tut can be useful to you :)

but its not the reason of my EDIT. :P
after it happens now several times, i thought i type it down here once again.
yes. i hate sparkledogs. please...stop whining now, like "omfg, you hate them, how dare you, you´re so ignorant!!1!1eleven" ...ignorant? no. i just don´t like them. get over it :roll:

once again:
fantastic characters - doesn´t matter if hybrids of thousands of critters in it, are okay for me - as long as it can be loosely recognized as an animal and not a complete ugly monster-mutant-thingie.
a little tatoo, a single collar is okay too - but no overload of earrings, pendants and so on.
characters with five colours or six or seven or eight are okay as well - but not twenty or thirty, including extreme neon pink or green or something like that.
little fluffy features here and there - is also okay - but i do not mean hyperfluffiness.

if your character is a dog with a little sign, thats okay - i never said that this makes your character a sparkledog. the thing i despise are those mentioned omguberhyper-designs, which makes your eyes bleed and are just plain kitschy....

less is more. thats the essential thing i tried to say. and at the end, its also a matter of taste.
no offense to you or any other people. its just my opinion. i respect yours, so please respect mine - nuff said. :P

coNstantine2530 said Fox Tutorial by *Culpeo-Fox "If you're in the search for getting better at drawing animals, in this case foxes, there's no doubt this is the place to look. This deviant offers a sincere and humble approach at learning to draw this animal, while showing amazing skill in his pictures and knowledge of the different species. This is an excellent tutorial!"

Danke, das hilft wirklich. O.o
Dieses Pinky-Style-Zeugs mag ich auch nicht, das hat ja nichts mehr mit ´nem Fuchs, ´ner Katze oder was auch immer zu tun. :|
Vielleicht finde ich damit ja auch mal meinen eigenen Stil.

umm...This was helpfull, and I do know how much work it takes. god, I probably do a hundred plus sketches and stuff a day. But don't oversell the whole, "I hate the word fursona, I hate sparkledogs, blah..." but it was really welll done, you have more talent with both realms of drawing:cartoony and realistic, than I do. so yeah, nice work.
