Fox-like

I was asked to draw a fox once upon a time, and so here it is.






 He's made out of red, orange, and black ball point pens, with a little bit of gesso.
 
Months after I finished this guy i went for a hike up in the foothills and came across a dead fox.  It was pretty sad, yet fascinating.  I have an affinity with foxes, which I'm sure a lot of people do, and I couldn't help but admire the structure of the body as it lay decomposing.  I drew a skull when I got home.
  




This one is purple, red, and blue ballpoint pens with red illustrator ink, as well as some gesso.  Not quite anatomical, but I liked how it turned out.

I'm on a whole skeleton kick now.  I owe that inspiration to happening upon that little guy who's time had come.  I think the next time I'm lucky enough to see a live one, I'll appreciate it all the more.
