Color the demon fox using art markers. Color the body orange and the tongue pink. Add shadows below the head, on the bottom of each leg and on the bottom side of each tail using a brown marker. Let the marker dry and add yellow highlights with a colored pencil to the outer sides of the arms, the tops of the ears and the top of each leg.
