Another redline for the lovely *KiwiSeahorse of this drawing: [link]

Since you were going for a more comic cartoon style, you really don't have to go with all of my redlines here. Do keep in mind that a red fox is quite lean and elongated (in terms of length). But foxes in general have quite short limbs in comparison to other animals. These redlines are more geared towards realistic styles, whereas a more toony style would exaggerate fur, ears, tail etc. So just take these as a suggestion to keep in mind for more realistic approaches and to improve your cartoon style! c:
Kiwi, you have really really improved from the last time I redlined one of your drawings! I'm very impressed and hope you'll keep working on your art, you improve at a fantastic rate! I can definitely see you're using reference photos and that is awesome, keep it up! Most of the anatomy here was great (good job with the curved spine of a fox and paws especially), just a couple of notes on forehead, chest and legs here basically. c: I did a quick sketch of a fox head to show you the way fur frames the face and cheekbones just for further reference.

Again this is referenced of Red Fox SUMMER coats, so you may want to have a look at these couple of photos to get an idea of the seasonal changes!

SUMMER [link] [link]
AUTUMN [link]
WINTER [link] (<-- lovely tail reference too, really shows how a fox tail is quite flexible) [link]

Also check out this section in wikipedia on red fox build as it gives a pretty clear description [link]

Here's a previous redline I did on a fox which you might like to check out too for some notes on eyes, paws and skull.


Hope this helped!!

Thank you so much, this is great! Really, this is going to be very helpful, especially since I am getting into foxes again and want to start practicing them some more. I'll definitely keep all of this in mind for the future, especially the body length and the tips on the chest/neck. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, I really appreciate it! <3
