4) What Elements of Art are being utilized in the character? Explain...
Texture because of the fact that he is a fox and foxes have fur. Plus his busy tails.
Value, the shade on the side of his head and lower body. With the massive highlight on his head. And color, although just orangy, his white tuffs of fur ands a balance.
Kind of like the orange popsicle with the creamy white interior. Yum...
