How to Draw a Timber Wolf - Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1: Use a bumpy circle-like shape for the head, with two indents to put the ears into. Add two bumpy triangles for the ears.
Step 2: Use two dots with lines extending from them for the eyes, trace the inside of the ears just a little bit more inside, and make the nose with a circle and two dots. Add a line for the mouth.
Step 3: Draw the draw continuing from the head, with a diagonal line on the right and a mostly horizontal line that curves down on the left side of the head.
Step 4: Have two lines come down from the body to the foot to make the front leg. Have the foot extend out to the right and add a tiny line to make toes.
Step 5: Draw the hind leg a lot like the front leg, although you’ll want to add a curve where the knee would be. Also, draw the bottom of the body.
Step 6: Draw the other hind leg in nearly the same manner as the first, except that a small portion will be hidden behind the first hind leg.
Step 7: Draw the other front leg just like the first, only to the left.
Step 8: Draw the tail with a single line on the left side of the drawing, and a tiny connecting line. Your Timber Wolf is now done!
