"Alright folks in this clip I'm going to teach you how to draw wolves. So, what we're going to do is we're going to come up here and we're going to start by drawing the wolf's face. So, first what we'll do is draw to little slits for the eyes kind of pointing up, just like that. Then to complete them, we're going to come in here and we're going to make this wolf not the nicest of wolves. He's going to be one of the angry ones. I'm going to come up in here and lightly give some detail to the eyebrow area, just like that, and then we're going to come down and give him a snout and go right into the nose and kind of go like that and make the nose black and sort of wide, just like that. Fill up the nose there. Now, what we can do is from this point is kind of come down and do the front of his mouth and up into the side like that and there you have a mouth, give him two little teeth, little hairy chin kind of, come in there. Now, at this point, I'm just going to come up to the top of the head and just have to draw in what will be the ears and then eventually the sides of the face and just come down like that, and then give me some a puffs of hair coming out of the sides of his face like that, and that will be a wolf's head. If you want to you can add some few hairs on the top too, just like that. And at this point, what we'll do is come in and give this a few details, I suppose, come in kind of like that and spruce it up a bit, but now we're going to move on to the body. I'm going to give him kind of a hunched back kind of like that and do a little puff of hair up there and kind of come down to the back and we're going to make him facing us, the perspective will be that. At this point, when you're kind of drawing in fur, don't be afraid to give it kind of a jagged look especially if you're going for more an evil more unpleasant character. I'm going to draw in both of his front legs just kind of like that and then it's going to look just kind of like the hairy nests until we come right down to where the paws will be right in front. Draw the paws on the ground like this in bits of three, three toes just like that. You can draw some little claws in there if you want to. Though there too big. Wolves aren't known for there giant claws. Now, we move down his body to do the back leg which we'll put just a little bit behind and a little smaller because it's just slightly further away from his thin, the front legs are. The other leg is sort of in the background. We'll do if we draw in lightly but you don't want to call a lot of attention to that one. So, there you got the body and the last little bit that we're going to do is we're going to come right in here and we're going to draw wolf's tail and kind of come out like that and make it kind of furry just like you did the rest of the body, just like that and that will give the entire body a sense of, you know, a feeling that it's all uniform in a way, you know, it's scraggly and messy. It all looks the same. It's got the same feel everywhere from the legs to the tail to the back even the head a little bit. So, there you go."
