Friendly Animals in a Moonlit Forest

A friendly fox curls up on a bed of leaves while a hedgehog stands beside a winding path. Behind them, a smiling moose stands among trees and bushes beneath a crescent moon and stars. Flying insects, leafy plants, tufts of grass and spotted mushrooms fill the woodland scene with little details to color.

This medium-detail drawing suits big kids who enjoy mixing larger animal shapes with smaller patterns. The fox’s tail and the moose’s broad antlers offer roomy spaces, while leaf veins and mushroom spots invite a more careful touch. Try orange for the fox, warm brown for the moose and a deep blue night sky. Colored pencils work well for the narrow leaves and tiny details.
