Fox Scratchboard Sketches

I recently worked on a cover image for the Children's Literature Association Quarterly, which should be off the press soon! The lead article for the issue is about Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr. Fox, so they requested an anthropomorphic fox wearing a jacket. Since the image had to be in black and white, I decided to have some fun with scratchboard.

I'm going to include the final art once I have an image of it on the actual cover, but in the meantime, here are some sample fox ideas!
