How to Draw a Cute Wolf

1. To begin to draw a cute wolf, first you draw a squared snout, followed by a jaw line that extends slightly below the snout, open, and in the shape of a triangle. Dropping down from the jaw line, move your pencil down and then back up creating the neck of the wolf. Here is where a little creative licensing comes into play. You can create your wolf to look as sweet and cuddly as you would like just by the way that you draw the fur around his neckline. You can draw sharp pointing triangles or you can make softer waves of fur.

2. The second step is adding a triangle ear at the top of his head, a bit back from his snout, and then by shadowing in the inner ear. Sketch in the nose on the end of the snout in a darker box shape that is size relative to your drawing. Next, add the last facial feature missing: the eye. For the eye, make a small crescent shape as if his eyes were closed and he was howling up at the moon.

3. Next, draw a line from the base of his ear to finish off the parameters of his neck, and then attach all of the lines of fur that you have drawn together, remembering all the time to add as much or as little fur around the neck as desired, and this will give you a cute wolf's face.

4. Next, draw a line descending straight down from the under-side of the wolf's throat to create his leg. Next, from the bottom of the line create a soft-sided square to form his paw. From the end of that paw, draw a line straight up create second leg and then a second paw. Add in little tick marks to represent his toes.

5. Creating the back side of a cute wolf: start at the base of the fur line around the wolf's neck and draw a rounding hump line representing his back and buttocks that stretches all the way back to the same places the two front paws are resting. Then, come back up with your line in a spiral pattern to create the wolf's belly. If there is a gap between the wolf's belly and his front legs, draw a small connecting line from one to the other.

6. With the head and body of the cute wolf completed, it still seems to be missing one thing: its bushy, long tail! Starting at the back end, draw one line in a crescent shape that curls back around to the front paws with a series of fur lines exactly like the ones you drew around the wolf's neck.
