Introduction
Try to use the fantasy creatures that are common in myths or stories as a model, and think about and draw illustrations of the magical animals with hand-painted textures.
The following are the process notes and experiences drawn.
draft
Consider composition first.
The theme of the selection of nine-tailed fox, although it is a monster, but simply think, is actually a fox with nine tails, and this is easy to handle, you can find a lot of pictures of foxes on the Internet. When you are unfamiliar with the body and characteristics of the fox, you can simplify and capture the ability of the feature by drawing sketches.
(You can try to find pictures with different angles and postures to help you understand this creature better.)
Personally think that the outer contour can clearly identify the composition of the biometrics better, and the main appearance characteristics of the fox are: the triangular face and the big ears, the black hair and claws of the front and rear feet, the furry body, the fluffy tail, so they are brought together. Elements, draw a sketch that shows the characteristics of the fox.
And this composition can show the fox's ears, forefoot, and tail at the same time.
After the composition is determined, the line draft is organized, and the structure and the flow of the hair are used as the basis for subsequent coloring.
(Although it is a nine-tailed fox, I think there should be two or so tails that are blocked from seeing, and all the tails appear at the same time. The picture is a bit too crowded, so only seven tails are drawn ( ́・ω・`)
Draft
The contour of the edge is traced with a built-in dip pen and filled with a paint bucket to give a silhouette that can be used for subsequent coloring.
Color
First use light orange as the background color.
When drawing later, as long as the new layer is created, after the next layer is trimmed, the drawing can be performed without destroying the outer contour.
Draw the black color of the tail, ears, front and back feet, in order to present the texture, here are some brush strokes.
The brush used here is a four-corner watercolor, and the color can be rendered with a bit of transparency when drawn.

Create a new layer, use a softer brush, and orange on the screen to change the layer's blend mode to [Color Enhancement] to add a shadow to the whole.
The brush used here is built in CSP [light ink]
Next, add the texture of the fox hair, and modify and add color along the flow of the hair to increase the feeling of fluffiness.
Here, [oil pen, honour change] is used, which is a brush with a rough texture.

Then add a deeper orange color to the overall picture to roughly determine the overall color.
After establishing the overall color, continue to use the rough texture of the brush [oil pen, Hao Mao change] to increase the details of the fox fur.
Cover texture
Then, in order to add texture to the surface, this time I used homemade materials.

If you are interested in the way the material is made, you can refer to this.
After selecting the material, paste it into the picture.
Next, change the layer mode to >Override [Opacity]>50%
Below is the effect of the overlay, you can see that the overall layer of paper texture.
Modification
Then use a brush with a pencil texture and use the light brown on the screen to add detail to the fox's hair.
The cymbal is used here because the brush stroke of the brush itself is close to the material just covered, so the detail can be added without damaging the overall texture.

Create a new layer, continue to use the same brush, use reddish-brown, along the direction of the hair flow, to organize the outline and hair.
Finally, strengthen the eyes and eyebrows, make up the beard, and the details of the reflection of the fox's front paws.
Turn the background to black for a nightly feel.
Then, on the top of the fox, draw a layer of red glow with [Light Ink] and change the layer mode to > Brighten Color (Lighting), which adds a layer of faint light and produces a backlight effect.
Finally, draw the flame line on the edge with red, try to use irregular lines, do not need to be too neat, to show the state of the flame irritating.
