Learn how to draw manga, how to draw cars and how to draw anime from our guides
Wolfs are so fierce and cool animals that I’m sure lots of you want to know how to draw them, right?
That’s why we have here a 6 steps quick tutorial that should help you draw a wolf’s head. But we’ll be working on another tutorial soon enough to show you how an entire wolf should be sketched, so be sure to stay tuned.
For now, let’s just jump to the guide.
Step 1: Start by drawing a couple of guidelines: a big circle for the head cut by two lines: one for the eyes of the wolf and one that will help you draw the wolf’s snout.
Step 2: Start sketching the wolf’s head like in the picture.
Step 3: Continue drawing the shape of the head using the guidelines
Step 4: Focus on the wolf’s ears and draw them. Make sure they are placed naturally, exactly where they should be. Draw lines for where the jaw bone and the wolf’s shoulder should be.
Step 5: Sketch the eyes and the nose of your wolf.
Step 6: Draw the mouth and feel free to add details and shadows to your sketch in order to accentuate the ears, eyes and the fur of your wolf. That should be it. You can then delete the guidelines and add some color if you want to.
Pretty simple, right? This guide that teach you how to draw a wolf’s head was brought thanks to TripletNR2.

OMG! THANX SO MUCH! I am part wolf, native american and all, i lived with wolves for 18 months, Karanica and Marhogga were the main wolves thanx so much from Raccati
hey, awsome drawing man, it helped me alot, you rock!!!!
i drew it and my wolf was perfect! exept for me putting some teeth on the wolf it made it look like a twit and thanks *hugs for making drawing better*
a wolf is an amazing animal and even more amazing when they are crying 2 the moon. i luv them. love the drawing it soooooooo cool and helped me alot, thanks alot
This was really helpful! thx! u should do one that shows the wolfs head facing forwards
good i know how to draw a body but still good
I love that wolf! sometimes i see a wolf in my dreams or ill close my eyes and see one. I think its my animal spirit but im not involved in wicca or anything.
I like canines, but my spirit guide is a bear and a frog. XD
I have quite a connection with frogs. I can get close enough to them without them jumping away, unlike my friends.
If I may add to anyone wanting to know about my spirit guides I have 2 ,both wolves I am a full fledged wiccan for 2 years now and i am on face book oh and dont think you dont have a spirti guide everyone has at least one but the amount depends on how many you need in your lifes journey the more you have the harder the decisions you need to make in life but they do make good friends for life.
AWSOME!!!! ^_^
