Are you imagining ramming a pencil into the paper, arms aching with the weight of the task ahead? Drawing wolves is a daunting endeavor, but they don’t have to be as intimidating as they seem. With the right tools, your pencil and a few simple techniques, you can create a stunningly realistic portrait of a wolf. It can almost be effortless! Here’s how to draw wolves easy like a pro.<\/p>\n

Sketch the Outlines<\/h2>\n

If you’re jumping right into a masterful sketch of a wolf without a plan, you’re setting yourself up for epic failure. So don’t learn the difficult way — start off with a little sketch. This can be done using a light pencil. Simply use basic shapes, like circles and rectangles, to construct a basic outline of your wolf. This will help to give you an idea of the overall structure and provide you with many of the foundational elements of the drawing. If this feels too daunting, you can use a real-life reference to trace out the body for an easy foundation.<\/p>\n

Work on Shading and Detail<\/h2>\n

From there, bring the image to life through shading and detail. It is important to take it in those steps, as one leads into the other. To bring the frame to life, use a harder-tipped pencil to start adding in the fur and other details. Tapering out the fur should be a breeze if you took the time to figure out the basic structure. Add details like the wrinkles of the face, the tufts of fur, and the dips of the eyes. Make sure to keep the pencil light — you can always add more pressure or blacken up an area later, but the material can’t be taken away! <\/p>\n

Practice Working with a Variety of Tones<\/h2>\n

If you’re mastering the basics, practice working with different types of tones as you work. To make this easier, break the wolf up by 1) light parts and 2) darker parts. Then, use light lines and shading to create contrast between them. This will help add a sense of structure, character, and life to your drawing. This can be done on the actual body, face, and fur of the wolf.<\/p>\n
