How to draw a wolf step by step
In each picture, the new part is pink. Draw it, then go on to the next step.
-
Draw the guide shapes
Draw a circle for the head and a big tilted oval under it for the body. Let them overlap a little.
-
Add the ears and muzzle
Draw two pointed ears on top of the head and a long muzzle sticking out on the left.
-
Draw the face
Draw a nose at the tip of the muzzle, an oval eye with a shine and a smile. Add a curve inside the ear and a tuft of fur on the head.
-
Draw the fur and front legs
Draw jagged fur on the cheek and the chest. Then draw two front legs going down from the chest, with rounded paws.
-
Add the back leg
Draw the back leg as a big rounded shape at the bottom of the body, with a paw in front.
-
Draw the tail
Draw a big fluffy tail curling up on the right, with a pointed tip.
-
Add the markings
Draw the mask around the eye and a few fur lines on the body and tail. Erase the guide shapes.
-
Color your wolf
Go over the final lines. Color the back gray, the muzzle, chest and tail tip white and the inside of the ears pink.
