I then created my own few drawings of different style and came up with my final design of what the fox would look like.

As I am using simple backgrounds I want the fox to be quite simple and have a stylized look rather than look realistic. Out  of these drawings I then selected the best features and create my final character.

I like the bold lines and the simple use of the colours orange and black with no shading just block colours. I think the arms and legs look quite funny and with them being that shape too means it's easier to animate and I won't make mistakes getting angles of legs wrong or a knee bending the wrong way by accident.
