Yes, it does seem that more experience folding, and especially observing the relationship between a given diagram and it's CP , would be to your advantage and growth .
I can't help but to recommend the books from origami-shop by Roman Diaz, Quentin Trollip, Nicolas Terry and Bernie Peyton.
They all have models with crease patterns to compliment the diagrams.
Practice going back and forth between the two modes, and really observe, patiently, the relationship.
JOAS Tanteidan convention books are also replete with Cps .
The Komatsu fox may be found in Tanteidan Convention Vol. 7, as well as in The Works of Hideo Komatsu .
Highly recommended book, which will yield a goldmine of information if you choose to apply yourself.
This takes time, observation and effort, of course.
A colour crease pattern of the fox may be found on Komatsu's website .

I'm sure that you remember that Red = Mountain folds, and Blue = Valley folds.
As you may already know, solving & folding the crease pattern generally only gets you to the base.
Oftentimes considerable skill is required to complete the model.
Were I you, I would immediately hide all your complex CPs in a drawer, to be approached at a later date.
You may also wish to take a look at the same topic, on this forum, at
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2725
It is titled Help With Komatsu's Fox CP .
There is some info, which might help, at
http://origami-fyy.weebly.com/crease-patterns.html .
Most importantly, develop your skills by patiently & systematically progressing from easy, intermediate, then finally more complex models. It's not enough to simply make the model. The growth will emerge with increasingly clear understanding of the dynamics & relationship between the folds.
Finally, there are others on this forum, such as Brimstone , Ondrej.Cibulka , and Razzmatazz that would be far, far more qualified than myself to give advice about CPs . I would imagine that they may request more detailed specifics as to where exactly you find yourself perplexed .
Best of luck !
