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.
This tutorial is aimed at kids. It shows a very simple and straightforward process of drawing a wolf. The steps here are very easy, and there’s nothing complex about it. The drawing will take only a few minutes. After that, you can let them color it if they want. There aren’t too many details here, and the drawing also seems quite similar to a dog. But it’s the tail that makes all the difference. So, as you can see, these are the minor details that can set your wolf drawing apart.

The basics here are common for both dogs, and wolf drawings. Once the structure is done, you’re then shown how to work out those curves and lines to form the wolf. Once again, the key element that can set your drawing apart is the wolf’s tail. So be extra careful while drawing that particular part of the wolf’s body.

This here is a fine portrait of a howling wolf. It’s not heavily detailed, but you can tell that a lot of effort has gone behind the drawing. The major elements here are the teeth, and the wolf’s ears. On top of that, you should also pay attention while drawing the outline, so that the pose and stance of the wolf’s head doesn’t go off proportions.

Although it’s not a wolf drawing, this artwork does have a wolf theme, which is why I found it really interesting, and had to put it in this list. The artwork is sublime, and the sketching is mesmerizing. I really love the way the artist composed this drawing. It’s not a difficult piece to work on, but it’ll still require some effort. But don’t worry, because this tutorial is quite nicely arranged, and explains everything in order.

This here is a simple tattoo design. The concept of this artwork is somewhat tribal. It’s mostly a collection of curved lines that collectively take the shape of a wolf’s head. It’s a simple and easy drawing to replicate. If you want, you can add a few more curves, and extend this drawing. Or, you could even take this idea and apply it to some of the other wolf drawings on this list, and see where that takes you.

In this simple tutorial for kids, the artist will show you an easy way to draw a wolf cub. It’s a cute drawing, but lacks details. Even for a kid’s drawing, I think there should’ve been some more details on the body. But that being said, I still like this simplistic line art, and thought that it’d be a good practice for beginners.

This portrait can work as a single art piece, or even as a tattoo. It’s a neat drawing, and has sufficient amount of details on it. I quite like the way the artist drew the eyes. Makes the wolf seem alive. It’s a really good tutorial, and quite easy to follow. But you’ll still need to put in a bit of time and effort to get it done.

Apart from drawing the outline, there’s not much to do in this artwork. That’s the beauty of silhouettes. It’s simple, but poetically beautiful. Same goes for this wolf silhouette you can see below. It’s a fairly simple design, but looks quite lovely. The drawing is very easy, and the tutorial makes it even easier.
