It's November, and winter is coming - or has come - for most of us. So what better creature to draw than an arctic fox, all poofy in their winter fur? (And even if winter isn't coming your way, who can resist them?) Because that's what we'll be doing! And if you follow the steps and post your artwork with the hashtag #ArcticFoxTutorial, you'll also get a special badge: I have drawn this with your good old graphite pencil and some colored pencils, but you can obviously use other traditional and digital media as well Without further ado, let's begin! Step 1: Draw a circle, and divide it into four parts. Step 2: Let's get the most important details added, namely the eyes and the nose. The top of the nose should be halfway between the center and the lower edge of the circle. Also remember that arctic foxes, like other foxes, have small noses compared to dogs and wolves! Step 3: Time to add the muzzle! Each whisker pad is a nosewidth wide, and has a rounded "smiling" shape. I've

YCH (Your Character Here) artists don't just create art; they ignite your imagination with boundless possibilities.

Welcome to CRLiterature! This December, we’re discovering a desert world filled with magic that has forgotten the wonders of winter in our “Legend of Snow” weekly activities. ❄️ Follow the prompts below to build out your own version of this fantasy universe with a little magic and a lot of fun for your chance to win DA points or badges! 🏅   ❄️The Legend of Snow, Part 1: ❄️ The desert is unrelenting as you make your daily march to the only well within hundreds of miles. From more than a mile away, you can already see the snaking lines of people queuing for their daily water allotment, already knowing it is never enough to crush that gnawing sense of dehydration in the pit of your stomach, but it is just enough that you won’t collapse while scavenging for food. As you make your way down the hard scrabble path from the rocky outcrop you’ve called home for 20 years, a small boulder slides from under your feet, sending you toppling forward and onto your hands and knees. As you recover

"Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go." THE CHANGE IN SEASON Autumn in the wilderness unfurls like a grand symphony, each leaf a delicate note in nature's orchestral embrace. The forests, once brimming with summer's vibrancy, now glow with the burnished hues of gold, amber, and crimson, as if kissed by the setting sun. The air, crisp and invigorating, carries the sweet scent of pine and earth, mingling with the whisper of wind through the changing foliage of trees and brush alike.  Every step upon the soft, mossy ground is a pilgrimage, a journey through nature's temple, where the stillness of the season invites contemplation and wonder. In the quietude of autumn, the mountains stand sentinel, their peaks dusted with the first snow of winter's approach, while the valleys below are blanketed in the soft, golden light of shortening days. The rivers, once roaring with the snow-melt of spring, now flow gently, mirroring the vibrant tapestry of the canopy above. Here
