Arctic Fox - Chuck Close Style

This is one of my school projects from the previous year (and forgot to post... *headdesk*). I had to draw a picture of an animal of my choice, drawn and shaded using the Chuck Close method.

In short, the Chuck Close method is this:

The entire paper is split into 1x1-inch squares. A faint outline was permitted, as well as details such as the eyes and mouth. Each square can have one pattern, and we had to spring for a different pattern every time (which is really tricky, so we were allowed repeats). Shading is determined by how dark you make that pattern.

I chose the arctic fox, an animal that has always been an enigma to me.
