How To Draw A Wolf

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

If you want to learn how to draw a wolf, but don’t know where to start, you’ve come to the right place. You see, there was a time when I too was struggling with my drawings. Every time I sat myself down to try and draw something new, I’d find myself in a pickle. I then started to study drawing tutorials on YouTube before I picked up my pencil. I did the same for my wolf drawings, and it really helped me improve my artworks. I bet that if you do the same as I did, you too will be able to learn a lot.

Drawing a wolf is similar to drawing a dog. The major differences are in the fur, mouth, and the wolf’s tail. You first start things off by drawing the body. It’s as simple as drawing a dog. Next, you go for the head and tail. The head doesn’t necessarily have too many details. But if you want to draw attention to the wolf’s face, I recommend you put emphasis on its eyes.
