Draw the wolf - tips

Content

What you need

Draw a long, pea-like oval to make the body of the wolf.
Remember to use a pencil when sketching, so that it can be erased later.

Draw the joints and the head.

Draw a circle at one end of the pea to make the wolf's head.
Draw two interlocking circles to form the joints of the hind legs, one smaller than the other to represent partially obscured wolf legs.
Add a slightly long circle on the wolf's chest to make the joints of the forelegs.

Complete the neck and add ear points.

Draw two spiked curves on the top of the head to make the ears. Unlike fox ears, the wolf's ears are smaller.
To make the wolf's neck (or nape), simply draw two light curves connecting the sides of the wolf's head to the pea-shaped body.

Draw the wolf's muzzle and the wolf's leg.

To represent the hind legs, draw curves coming from the posterior joint. The posterior leg lines should be curved outward toward the tail.
To show the front legs, you just need to add 2 bold lowercase "l". One leg of the wolf is obscured, so only a small portion of the other leg is visible.
Draw a small "U" on the head for the muzzle.

Add eyes, tail and complete hind legs.

To draw the eyes, you just need to add two water droplets above the wolf's snout.
Finish off the hind leg by drawing another shape similar to the one previously drawn, but this time adding the foot on the bottom,
The tail is hard to see because it is hidden behind the hind legs, so just add a long curve at the end of the pea-shaped wolf body.
Now you have the basic skeleton of the wolf.

Use the pen and ink to paint on the sketch.

Remember nested shapes and obscured parts.
Remember to draw curls to create the wolf's fur.
Lines may not look perfect and sharp but should be neat once the pencil strokes are removed.

Draw the body of the wolf with an oval optional.

Draw a long, pea-shaped oval for the body of the wolf.
Make sure to sketch with a pencil, so that it can erase it later.

Draw 2 more oval shapes.

An oval should be larger and longer than slant upwards. This is the wolf's neck and head.
The second oval is drawn on the other end of the wolf's body. This oval is longer, narrower and drawn vertically to make the tail.

Draw the wolf's muzzle and joints.

Add a circle right next to the tail and one at the lower end of the oval slant upwards to make the leg joints.
Draw a smaller oval in the same direction as the neck / head oval.
Draw a drop of water below the wolf's muzzle to represent the wolf's jaws.

Add the wolf's ears and legs.

This view shows only one wolf's ear. Just draw a small rounded triangle with sharp angles pointing in the opposite direction of the wolf's muzzle.
Express the wolf's leg with the lines drawn below the leg joints. The hind legs should be drawn curved towards the tail.

Complete the wolf leg.

Add similar lines to define the width of the wolf's leg. The part of the wolf's paws should appear to be close to the ground.
Add another pair of legs behind the legs you drew earlier. These legs are only partially visible, so just draw a small peek behind the drawn legs.

Draw more feet.

Add 2 pairs of circles for the foot underneath the lower leg.
You now have the basic frame of the wolf painting.

Paint the sketches with a pen and ink.

Remember nested lines and obscured parts.
Remember to use the curves to represent the wolf's fur.
Lines may not be perfect and sharp but should look neat once the pencil strokes are removed.

Draw a circle.Add two protruding sharp shapes on either side of the circle to make the ears. Draw the nose using curves.

Draw a circle a bit below the head, then draw curves connecting the circle with the head to make the body of the wolf.

Draw three lines for the forelegs and two semicircles for the foot.Add another semicircle for the back foot.

Draw a crescent moon shape to make the wolf's tail prick up.

Add detail to the wolf's face.Draw the egg shape for the eye, add a small circle for the pupil. Draw a curve for the brow and a circle at the tip of the nose. Add tiny circles on the side of the nose and curves to sharpen the canine.

Draw the wolf's head and create the fur on the head using curvy lines.

Draw the rest of the wolf's body.Add some strokes on the chest to look like feathers and a few slants on the feet to create the toes.

Draw a circle as the head.Add two triangles on either side of the top of the circle as the ears. Draw a curve in front of the circle to make the nose protrude and a diagonal line from the circle extending down the nose.
