What's In This Picture

At the center of the page, a cute fox sits with its tail curled nearby. Surrounding the fox, several different types of mushrooms sprout from the earth, some with polka dots and others with smooth caps. Scattered across the ground are detailed acorns and a variety of leaves that have fallen from the large trees in the background.\n\nThe grass grows in small tufts around the fox's paws, adding texture to the forest floor. In the distance, the trunks of sturdy trees frame the clearing, creating a sense of depth. Every element, from the tiny veins in the leaves to the fox's pointed ears, offers a new detail to focus on.

Coloring Tips

For the fox, a bright burnt orange or a soft ginger color looks wonderful, especially if you leave the tip of the tail and the chest a lighter shade. The mushrooms offer a great chance to use bold reds, deep purples, or earthy browns. You might try using different shades of yellow, orange, and red for the fallen leaves to show the variety of autumn colors.\n\nThe acorns look best with a darker brown for the cap and a lighter tan for the nut. If you want to add a sense of atmosphere, use light strokes of green and yellow for the grass and trees to suggest a sun-dappled forest floor.

Did You Know?

Did you know that foxes have amazing hearing? They can hear a watch ticking from forty yards away. This helps them find small animals moving under the leaves or even deep beneath the snow during the winter months.

Try This!

After you finish coloring the fox, try counting all the acorns hidden in the grass. You could also draw a small bird perched on one of the tree branches or a tiny beetle crawling near the mushrooms to add more life to your forest scene.
