GRID STEP. You can print out the base construction lines and start drawing on tracing paper, or you can draw the grid layout yourself using the following steps.1) Draw a rectangle that will define the conditional proportions and boundaries of the chosen drawing. 2) From the middle of the rectangle, draw one vertical and one horizontal line equally dividing the shape. 3) Draw another horizontal line equally dividing the upper half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a horizontal line equally dividing the bottom half of the rectangle. 4) Draw a vertical line equally dividing the left half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a vertical line equally dividing the right half of the rectangle.

STEP 1. Mark off the width and height of the picture. Draw a circle for the head and an oval for the body of the arctic fox.

STEP 2. Define the places for the body and add a guideline for the tail.

STEP 3. With light lines, add proportions of the fox’s snout and guidelines for its legs.

STEP 4. Draw the legs and snout of the arctic fox.

STEP 5. Outline the toes and ears of the animal.

STEP 6. Draw the tail, eyes and nose.

STEP 7. Work on the whole figure of the arctic fox, paying special attention to detail.

STEP 8. Contour the arctic fox, trying to vary the thickness and darkness of the line. Add more detail, add the ground. Erase all guidelines.
