Wolf paws look quite long, with the middle fingers/toes being so much longer than the one on the outside. The tail should reach the heels, and it’s usually kept straight, with only very subtle curl allowed.Īdd the paws and the details of the legs.ĭraw a bean-like shoulder and half-circle-like thigh.Īdd some body to the legs, connecting gently the paws to the shoulder and thigh.įinally, finish the silhouette by adding a mane and a shoulder cape.

Start with a long, rounded rectangle for the body… Wolves have a very characteristic silhouette that can be drawn in a simplified way, without paying too much attention to the anatomy. Notice how their paws are often cow-hocked - splayed out. The hind legs have a special position too-they’re usually more or less “cow-hocked,” which means the paws are turned slightly outside as well. Wolves also have a very narrow chest, so they keep their forelegs close, with the paws often splayed outward. The most important feature here are the long legs, with long “hands” and relatively short “feet.” The head is usually kept no higher than shown here. It defines proportions of the parts of the body, so if you can draw it (even in a sketchy way), then you should be able to capture a wolf silhouette correctly every time. Let’s take a look at a simplified skeleton of the wolf first. In this tutorial I will give you all the information you need to draw realistic wolves from memory-from general anatomy, structure of the head and paws, to direction and colors of fur.
And even though we all can recognize a wolf when we see one, drawing them from imagination is a different thing.
So similar to our domestic dogs, yet unique. Wolves are beautiful, noble animals, wild and mysterious. After the site’s migration, the original is no longer available, but you can still access the content here. This post has been originally commissioned for SketchBook Blog in 2016.
