arctic fox monochrome line drawing

I was working on an A-Z of animals with India ink and brush, with a “wood grain” style texture. I did this arctic fox for “F”, but it turned out fairly different to the rest. The arctic fox is iconic in white, obviously, so I started from a point of negative space and essentially “carved” it out of the blank ink.

It stood out, in a good way, so I split it off and it stands alone.
