Final effect:

First, create a head and face

1th Step

First, we're going to draw its head. Use the Polygon tool and click on your canvas. A new conversation window will pop up to fill in the number and radius of the corners you need. Select 3 edges, the radius is random. then click OK.

When you have this triangle, use r=212, g=88, b=42 padding. Now we need to adjust the transformation options (Effects > Transformations > Arcs) as shown in the following figure.

2nd Step

Copy the triangle, then paste it behind it (ctrl+c,ctrl+b) and change the color to r=233, g=218, b=194. Change the upper arc to protruding (effect > Deformation > Protrusion):

3rd Step

Now you should already have the following graphic:

4th step

Leave the invariant fill color and use the Ellipse tool (L) to draw an ellipse. Press the Convert Anchor Point tool (Shift+c), and then click the left and right anchor points of the ellipse. Then change the transformation options (Effects > Transformations > Arcs) as shown below.

5th step

Place the shape you just created behind the shape you created in step 3rd (ctrl+x,ctrl+b).

6th step

Now we're going to draw the eyes and nose, use the Oval tool (L), draw a small circle, and set the color to r=70 g=62 b=55. To draw a positive circle, hold down the SHIFT key as you draw the circle. Use copy and paste to draw three small circles. And then put them like this in the following image

7th step

Now draw your ears. First we should draw the right ear. Using the Polygon tool, create a triangle, and then set the color to r=212,g=88,b=42. Adjust the deformation options (Effect > Deformation > Bulge) as shown in the following figure

Create a copy of the triangle and use the same transformation settings. This will turn into the inner part of the ear, so you have to make it a little bit darker (color r=178 g=66 b=31).

8th Step

Now it's left ear. Use the same approach as the following diagram, and then think about what the left ear should look like.

A small part of the left ear

9th step

Put your ears together and put them on the Fox's head. Then put them behind the head (CTRL+X,CTRL+B)

Second, the creation of the body

Create a triangle (color r=42 g=148 b=68 and use Extrude. This will become the body.

3rd Step

Put all the pieces together and don't forget to put your head in front of your body.

Third, the creation of legs and claws

Copy and paste them two times and put them together as shown below. Then go to the Pathfinder panel and click the Set. Now you have a shape. Copy the shape and keep it. I'll tell you when I need it!

3rd Step

Select the shape you created in the previous step, and then place it on the front of your leg to make it claw. Then copy a paw (Ctrl + C, ctrl+f). Hold down SHIFT to select a dark gray shape and a newly copied paw. Open the Pathfinder panel and select the Intersect button

Right-click and select Transform > Symmetry now. Select vertical in the window that appears, and make sure the angle is set to 90 degrees, and then select Copy. Now you have your second leg.

The color of the second flower petal is r=60 g=94 b=76. The color of the central stamens circle is r=88 g=52 b=56. The color of the leaves is the same as that of the first;

The color of the third flower petal is r=73 g=117 b=95. Central stamens circle the same color as the second flower;

Group each flower and leaf (right key > Group).
