Drawing geometric shapes - drew a geometric fox

Image
I am not an artist and I haven't really drawn anything for like 20 years. I Tried to draw a geometric fox using my app to check how easily I (or anyone who is not used to drawing frequently) can draw something which looks remotely similar to a geometrical fox. I could draw something like this : Yes, you are right. It does not look anything like a geometric fox, or even a geometric rabbit.
