What you will get

A friendly red fox in a meadow wearing the scarf or backpack you chose, with big kind eyes, soft watercolour and colour pencil texture, a warm autumn palette and clean plain edges for a children’s book, square.

Common mistake

The fox looks different in every picture.

Fix: Follow the tip and ask for three poses, then reuse the exact same description, for example “small red fox, white chest, green scarf with two stripes”.

Also watch for

The fox looks fierce or realistic instead of friendly. Add “round soft shapes, big gentle eyes, a small smile, not realistic, not scary”.
The background is busy and the edges are messy for cutting out. Say “plain pale background, a clear edge around the whole fox, nothing touching the borders”.

Try a variation: winter fox

Change the palette to “soft winter blues and white, snow on the ground, a red scarf” and drop the autumn words. Keep the character description identical for a matching set.
