Basic Information on How to Draw a Wolf Face

This lesson on how to draw a wolf face will help you depict not only the face of this beautiful animal but also the face of a fox or dog.

The distinctive features of a wolf are its long muzzle, the outline of its ears and head. If you correctly depict these parts of the wolf’s face, then the final result will already be quite recognizable.

As mentioned in the lesson about the wolf, you can color the resulting picture orange, and get a drawing of a fox. Or you can paint the sketch white and get an arctic fox. All these animals are very similar to each other.

If you want to create a drawing of a werewolf’s head, then using these instructions you can do this too, because in fact the head of a werewolf and a wolf are drawn in a very similar way.

Also, you can complicate the work by adding shadows and highlights. This will make your drawing of the wolf’s head more voluminous and lively.

So let’s get started!

How to Draw a Wolf Face

Sketch the outlines of the head.
The wolf’s head is somewhat similar to a lemon with pointed sides. In addition, it is important to make the wolf’s head slightly wider than it is tall.
Draw the ears.
The ears of a wolf look like two symmetrical pointed triangles. The wolf’s ears should be at the same distance and have the same shape.
Draw the nose and mouth.
The nose looks like an oval, and the mouth looks like a letter W. The wolf’s nose and mouth should be located in the lower half of the face.
Draw the pattern on the face.
Try to keep the pattern as symmetrical as possible. These are two symmetrical lines that rise up from the nose and then fall lower to the chin.
Detail the wolf’s face.
Draw the oval eyes, then the lines in the ears, and sharp protruding fangs. All these are paired parts that must be symmetrical.
Color the wolf face.
As I wrote at the very beginning, you can use gray or light brown colors. To give the wolf’s head artwork a little more life, add highlights to the eyes and the tip of the nose.
