First attempt at painting a fox.
I had absolutely no idea how I was gonna do this. I was worried about color, shape, fur.... I really didn't know what to do. So what I did was this:
I dropped on some basic color. Red/Orange for the face, leaving a little white on the chin and chest, and then some green in the background.
I came back and just started putting in fur in one place then another, then another. Just little bits here and there. Patches no more than a quarter to a full in width and only the length of a few hairs. I perhaps did more under the chin than any other place. Then when it was totally dry, when back over it with another coat of base color. It kind of smoothed it out enough that it doesn't look too staccato, but not so much that it doesn't look like fur. For a first attempt that I made up on the fly, I think it turned out pretty good.
The eyes just turned out to be black spots. Thats not what I was going for, I may have to go back and lift out a little black to give a little more color and drop in a highlight.
Hope you enjoy it.
