How to Draw a Realistic Wolf, Draw Real Wolf

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.

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.

I do somewhat agree with Yoshilisk, the drawing is somewhat out of proportion, though Yoshilisk did go over the top with his criticism. Noen_dollar is correct though, critisism is not a bad thing. If this had been my drawing, I would have enjoyed getting feedback, and attempted to fix the drawing. In other words, I would improve upon it. The arguing is unprecedented, so it needs to stop. Congratulations Dawn on yet another wonderful drawing, and my apologies to Yoshilisk and Neon_dollar for the harsh and rude comments directed at them.

honestly i have 2 say i agree with yoshi;critisism isnt an insult its a push in the rite direction and without it we'd never get any better in our drawings so BACKOFF!! x_x if not for a little critisism we would all think all of our pictures are perfect and btw speechlesss nothings perfect even if your critisizing god he shouldnt mind its helping him btw dawn its a very good pic afterall now ive given you something to think sbout .THINK ABOUT IT. x_x blankand i mite not be as good as dawn but when you say shes 1000 times the artist ill ever be tht applies to u to because words isnt what seperates us actions are and even if you do say ill never be as good as her ur rite ill be better and no one said anything to auracle wtf?! confused X-x

The wings are very well constructed and I like the span. I would have gone just a few feet farther to make it substantial for his body size, but that's just me. :P Good job.
