Form the Head
Start by forming the furry outline of the wolf’s head.
Outline the Eyes
Draw pointed ovals to outline the wolf’s eyes. Then, add short curved lines above the eyes.
Draw the Snout
Draw the rounded outline of its nose. Next, add curved lines below the nose to form its mouth. Then, draw short diagonal lines beneath the eyes to emphasize the shape of its snout.
Attach the Ears
Attach the pointed shape of its ears on top of its head.
Outline the Body
Draw the wolf’s furry elongated body.
Attach the Legs
Attach wolf’s upright legs to the base of its body. Now, form the shape of its paws. Then, erase any overlapping lines.
Draw the Tail
Add the wolf’s thick, fluffy tail connected to the end of its body.
Add the Furry Texture
Emphasize the wolf’s thick fur by drawing short pointy lines along its body and tail.
Fill in the Eyes
First, draw a black circular pupil in each eye. Next, add tiny white shimmer to its eyes. Then, use a blue color to shade the iris.
Color the Nose
Color the nose with black. Then, add hints of light gray to create some highlight near the top of its nose.
Fill in the Wolf’s Body
Fill in the wolf's entire body with dark gray.
Add More Shading to the Body
Use white and lighter shades of gray to color the wolf’s face, underbelly, legs, tail and inner ears.
