Step 14: Include the other leg too, a little wider at the top. (Refer to step 13.)

Step 15: Draw the fox’s tail using sharp curves.

Step 16: Complete the tail with a series of medium-sharp curves.

Step 17: Add details for the tail with a row of sharp spikes in the top and tiny dashes arranged one beside another in the bottom.

Step 18: Include details for the feet using tiny dashes to show their toes.

Step 19: Draw two small circles for its eyes.

Step 20: Shade the inside of the eyes, leaving one corner of every eye to show its eyeballs; that gives a curious look to the fox.
