Use orange paint to colour the fox's fur.

Step 3
Dark Tones

Take the burnt sienna to paint all the extremities of the fox (ear, tail, paws, muzzle, etc).

Step 4
Blue Landscape
To create a snowy setting, use white and ultramarine in small touches. Use the brush pen (transparent handle).
At the foot of the fox apply touches of colour, leaving some areas blank.
In the background, draw shadows and trees that are a little blurred.

Step 5
The Forest At The Left Corner

In the left-hand corner of the drawing, add silhouettes of trees with black paint. Use the fine point brush (blue handle) to draw tree branches.

Step 6
Sunset

Then take 3 sticks of fluorescent pastel, colour the sky in a gradient way and then fade the colours using paper towels around your fingers. This effect gives a fantastic sunset atmosphere to your drawing.
