I think I have said all I could about wolves and the species. Drawing these forest animals is always fun, but the more I draw a repeated animal, dragon, person, or character, the more I run out of things to talk about. I just wanted to do a sketch on “how to draw a realistic wolf, step by step” that was easy, colorful, and fun. Sketching animals is almost always complicated because of the contours in their faces, bodies, and even their fur. I wanted this drawing to be very simple for everybody to tackle, and because of that, I drew the side view of a wolf's head. There are many different species of wolves that are in existence, so choosing the kind you want to sketch out can be a bit frustrating. My advice, choose a wolf that is less fluffy then others, and even a bit more thicker. The coloring that I did for the wolf came out looking pretty sweet too. I think it should be easy for you guys to use colored pencils, oil paint, and even a good set of quality markers to shade in your animal with. In the end you will get results that you should be pleased with. Try out this lesson, and you will see just how easy it is to learn “how to draw a realistic wolf, step by step”. Today is Saturday, so maybe you can stick around a bit longer to see what else I upload before the night is done. Peace out, and happy drawing!

how to draw a realistic wolf step 1

STEP 1.

Draw a circle for the base of the wolf's head and then add the facial guidelines. You will then draw out the back of the neck, and then the front of the neck until you have a thick full look to the wolves head. Lastly, draw the outlined shape of the snout, and then the two ears.

STEP 2.

Here you will start sketching out the actual shape of the wolf's snout, and then add an outlining for his nose, mouth line, and then sketch out the eyes, and color them in as you shown to you here.

Now you can start sketching out the shape and texture of the wolf's jaw, chin, cheeks, and right ear. Once that is done complete his nose, and then finish off drawing the eyes. Be sure to sketch the wolfs fur the way it's done here.

STEP 4.

For your last drawing step all you have to do is sketch out the rest of the wolf's head, and then the left ear. Next fluff up the fur texture of the animals head, and neck and then add some whiskers, and whisker holes. Erase all the guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one to clean up your animal sketch.

Your pencil sketch of a realistic wolf should look like the one you see here when you're done. You can choose to color it in, or leave it as a sketch.

@ lionthewolf, I agree. Most of the people that go and start talking ba about other people's drawings cant even draw a circle. It's not wrong to give your opinion on something, but think about the artist. Theres a differance between giving an opinion and being rude. This tutorial is wonderful and I see no flaws, it even helped me draw a wolf dog. Go to my profile and see yay yay

THIS IS A GOOD TUT, AND IF YOU ALL THINK ITS RUBBISH, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO UPLOAD A MAKE OF THIS TUT AND COMPARE IT. critism is not a bad things guys, but it would be better to keep your comments to yourself (Please do not reply, anyone)

Also hey, questioning each other's artistic ability really doesn't make an ounce of difference in how valid a person's opinion is. o: Comparing yourself to others can actually be a pretty discouraging thing. Don't give up on yourself just because someone says you'll never be as good as someone else, Legacy - or anyone else for that matter. Try going out into the world and drawing what you see. Set up still lifes of simple shapes under a lamp. Do self portraits. There's no reason you would never be able to get as good as someone else if you set your mind on improvement. You can do it. :D

Oh. Oh goodness. I Google my own name on a whim and stumble on this again. Ouch, some of these comments. xD Admittedly that was a pretty poorly executed critique, but was it really necessary to act like a bunch of piranhas? I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings but I certainly wasn't trying to "rip apart" anything. It was just a critique. And, hey, critique really aisn't a bad thing. meowla
