you have drawn the cat, a fox is the same construction sharpened: the ears are taller triangles, the muzzle is a long wedge rather than a soft bump, and the tail is nearly as big as the body.

    Everything else gets measured against this, so draw it in one motion rather than in short careful passes. A slightly lopsided shape drawn confidently is more use than a perfect one built out of twelve nervous strokes, because you can correct a shape and you cannot un-see a hesitant line.

    Watch out Drawing it small to leave room for detail. The big shape is most of the drawing - use the space.

    Athuga It should fill most of your page, with a margin all round.

  2. Skref 2

    Bættu tveimur miðlínum við, létt.

    These are the rulers for everything that follows. Without them the two halves of the fox drift apart by a few millimetres at a time and you do not notice until it is finished and subtly wrong. Press lightly - they come off at the end.

    Watch out Skipping them because it looks symmetrical already. It will not be by the time you are done.

    Athuga They should cross at the middle of the shape you just drew.

  3. Skref 3

    Teiknaðu munnstykki sem langa þrönga kilja.

    This is the shape that says fox rather than dog. It comes off the lower half of the circle and it is longer and thinner than feels right - compare its length to the head circle rather than guessing, and it should be about half as long as the head is wide.

    Watch out A short, wide muzzle, which reads as a puppy.

    Athuga The muzzle should be about half the head's width in length.

  4. Skref 4

    Teiknaðu fyrsta eyrað: hár þríhyrningur, halla út.

    Fox ears are big - roughly as tall as half the head circle - and the outer edge curves in slightly rather than running dead straight. Set the angle deliberately, because the two ears must agree.

    Watch out Making the ears too small and too upright.

    Athuga The ear should be about half the height of the head circle.

  5. Skref 5

    Teiknaðu annað eyrað til að passa við fyrsta.

    Compare it to the one you just drew rather than to your idea of a ear: same size, same angle, same distance from the centre. This is the comparison habit that fixes proportion everywhere, and a pair is the easiest place to practise it because the error is obvious once you look for it.

    Watch out Making the second ear smaller - it usually happens because your hand is more cramped on that side.

    Athuga Both should sit the same distance from the centre line.

  6. Skref 6

    Bættu innra eyrað sem minni þríhyrningur inni í hverjum.

    Set in from the edges and slightly lower than the outer point. This is where the dark goes later, and it is what makes an ear read as a cup rather than as a flat shape stuck to the head.

    Watch out Inner triangles that touch the outer edges, which flattens the ear.

    Athuga There should be a visible margin all round each inner triangle.

  7. Skref 7

    Settu augun á lárétta miðlínuna.

    Fox eyes are almond-shaped and angled - the outer corner sits higher than the inner one, which is what gives a fox its sharp expression. Leave a full eye's width between them.

    Watch out Round eyes set level, which looks startled rather than alert.

    Athuga You should be able to fit one more eye between the two.

  8. Skref 8

    Bættu við nefinu á endanum á munninum og línu aftur til munnsins.

    A small rounded triangle, and it points down. The line from the nose back along the muzzle is what separates the top of the snout from the jaw, and without it the muzzle reads as a solid wedge.

    Watch out A large round nose, which pulls the drawing back toward a dog.

    Athuga The nose should be small relative to the muzzle.

  9. Skref 9

    Teiknaðu líkamann sem kringlóttan þríhyrning fyrir neðan höfuðið.

    A sitting fox is essentially a wide-based triangle with the head on top. Overlap it with the head circle rather than butting them together - the overlap is what makes the head sit in front of the chest.

    Watch out Placing the body directly under the head with no overlap, which reads as two stacked shapes.

    Athuga The body outline should pass behind the head.

  10. Skref 10

    Teikna hala sem langa þykka feril, breiðari en þú býst við.

    This is the shape most people undersize. A fox tail is about as long as the body and roughly a third as thick, and it curls round the base of the body rather than sticking out behind. Draw its outline as two curves, not one.

    Watch out A thin tail, which loses the whole silhouette.

    Athuga The tail should be at least a third as thick as the body is wide.

  11. Skref 11

    Merkja hvíta brjóstið og hvíta halaþrýstinginn.

    These are the two shapes that make a fox recognisable without colour. They are areas you leave alone, not areas you draw - deciding now where the paper stays white is what stops you shading over them in the next step.

    Watch out Shading the whole fox evenly and then trying to erase the white back in.

    Athuga You should have two clearly reserved light shapes.

  12. Skref 12

    Skuggaðu eyra ábendingar, fætur og munnpunktur dekkri.

    A fox's dark points are its ear tips, its lower legs and the very tip of its muzzle. Get real contrast between those and the white chest - a fox in a narrow band of grey looks like a stuffed toy.

    Watch out Being timid, so the darks and the whites end up only slightly different.

    Athuga The ear tips should be clearly the darkest part of the drawing.

  13. Skref 13

    Bættu við nokkrum whiskers og tillögu um hár á brjósti.

    Detail is suggested, never itemised. A handful of marks in the right places lets the eye fill in the rest, and drawing every one flattens the drawing into texture. Put them where they matter and stop early.

    Watch out Adding detail evenly all over, which removes the contrast between busy areas and quiet ones.

    Athuga Step back. You should still read the big shape first, detail second.

  14. Skref 14

    Fara yfir línurnar sem þú vilt halda, og missa leiðbeiningar.

    This is the step that turns a construction drawing into a finished one, and it is the one most people skip. Press harder on the outline and the features; leave the small stuff light. That difference in weight is what makes a drawing look deliberate rather than traced, and it costs thirty seconds.

    Watch out Going over everything at the same weight, which flattens the drawing back out.

    Athuga The outline should be clearly darker than the smallest details.

the same way, the proportions of the fox are set by measuring against something already on the page - the muzzle against the head, the second ear against the first, the tail against the body - and nothing by recalling what a fox looks like. This is the lesson of the stylised drawing. It introduces character through shape language: pointed shapes read as alert and sharp, rounded ones as soft. Same construction, different feeling, and knowing which lever to pull is most of what stylised drawing is.It introduces character through shape language: pointed shapes read as alert and sharp, rounded ones as soft.

Spurningar sem fólk spyr

Af hverju lítur refur minn út eins og hundur?
Snúningur er of stuttur og eyrun of kringlótt. Lengja munnhornið í þröngan kilja og gera eyrun há þríhyrninga.
Hversu stór ætti hala að vera?
Um það bil eins langur og líkaminn og miklu þykkari en þú heldur.Undstaður hala er næst algengasta mistök refa.
Hvar fara eyrun?
Berið annað eyrað saman við hið fyrra frekar en að teikna það frá grunni, en það er betra að gera það með því að teikna það frá grunni.
Þarf ég lit?
Nei, hvíta brjķstinn, dökku fæturnir og hvíti halastöngin gera verkið í grafíti svo lengi sem þú færð gildin frá hvoru öðru.
Hvernig er ūetta öđruvísi en köttur kennslustund?
Ef kötturinn fór vel í þetta mun það taka þig um tólf mínútur.
Refur minn er flatur.
Þú hefur ekki sett myrkrið niður.Fætur og eyra ætti að vera miklu dekkri en líkaminn, ekki örlítið.
Ætti refur að sitja eða standa?
Sitja, í þessari kennslustund - það felur tvo fætur og leyfir þér að einbeita sér að höfði og hala, sem bera staf.
Hvað ætti ég að teikna eftir þetta?
Mug, fyrir sporbaug, eða auga ef þú vilt hoppa til erfiðasta hlutur á síðuna.
