Foxes

I recently wrote a new story about a bear and a fox and a box of socks. I was doing some sketching to figure out what my characters will look like.

The first foxes I drew were while I was making some valentines. And actually I just redrew the head of the fox at the top because I had erased it at the time. I think I like the shape of it a little better now, it feels more foxy.....but I don't think it's there quite yet. 

I continued to draw my fox and tried drawing a bear too. The fox's tail is a bit more bushy and the bear has a nice small tail.

There is still more drawing to do of course and I can't figure out if I would like my bear and fox to be more realistic or more cutesie. So far these are on the cute side. I think I will get some reference shots and draw on a big pad of newsprint so I can get more gestural.

If you like seeing these animals you will defenatly like my cat Ferlin, that I made up for my children's book Ferlin and his Paper Hat. To see more about Ferlin visit my portfolio as well as few posts on my blog about working on the book. Be sure to let me know what you think!
