How to Draw a Fennec Fox

Start with a blank piece of paper that is positioned vertically.

Now make the outline. I find it easiest if you start with the head.

Once your outline is complete, add detail to the ears.

And now the eyes, also erase all unnecessary lines on the face (I also added curved lines going down from the eyes to help position the nose and darkened the outline on the face).

Now add the snout and nose. It works best if you use the lines that you made earlier that are coming down from the eyes to help position the snout and nose. (also add fade lines on the face as shown above).

Add a jagged line going from ear to ear and some extra shading on the face.

Now darken the outlines on the face.

And darken the outline on the rest of the fox as well.

Now add the feet.

Erase the lines and darken the tail outline and add shading under the neck, on the tail, and the front and hind leg.

Now darken the entire outline even more (I also changed the fur on the hind leg and added more lines throughout).

Now color the eyes. I think that dark brown looks best, but you can choose whatever color you like (I also darkened the shading on the face and shaded the right hind leg).

Get a light gray (very light) and color the face, neck, most of the front legs, and a large portion of the hind leg and back (use picture as reference).

Then color the tail and shoulder with a deep orange-brown. Also add it more lightly on parts of the front and hind leg.

Now using a light yellow/tan, color in the remaining areas (I also added a pinkish gray to the ears).

Finish shading and now your picture is complete.

Star Fruit/Carambola Colored Pencil Drawing

For this post, I remembered to take a picture of my outline (unlike my lychee post).  I found that the best way to get the texture of the inside of the fruit was to make a bunch of small lines then lightly erase them (lightly, meaning that you are only partially erasing for a slightly uneven darkness throughout).

Colored Pencil Lychee Drawing

When drawing objects that I am not completely familiar with, I find it easiest to use a reference photo. In this case, I used a photo of lychee which had leaves and more fruit in the picture, but since I didn't want to draw that much or to get distracted by things that weren't going to be in the picture, I cropped them out.
