This lesson on how to draw a nine-tailed fox will be done in the simplest possible style, close to the chibi style. The character from my example does not have complex details, and the proportions are close to hypertrophied cartoonish.

This drawing lesson will teach a young artist to draw unusual characters based on real animals or people. These include such creatures as Cerberus, Goro, Hecatoncheires from Greek mythology and this very fox from this instruction.

Using this instruction, you can draw a normal fox. To do this, you will need to draw one tail instead of nine.

So, if you are ready and your art tools are already in front of you, then let’s get started!
