Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Tribal Wolf
How to Draw a Great Looking Tribal Wolf for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin by drawing a curved line. This will be the underside of the wolf's neck. At its base, draw a zigzag line using curved lines of various lengths. This forms the ruff of fur at the base of the neck. Then, use a series of successively shorter straight lines to draw a jagged spiral shape. Finally, draw lines parallel to each of these. Leave them unconnected at the top but connect them in the center of the spiral.

2. Draw a long curved line from the top of the figure, outlining the nose and brow. Draw parallel lines along the longest sections, but leave them unattached at the "corners." At the mouth, attach the inner lines with a curved line that doubles back upon itself to form the wolf's mouth. Use a short curved line to outline the nose. Use two curved lines to outline the round shape of the eye. At its corner, draw two straight lines that meet at a point.

Learn More About The Tribal Wolf Drawing
Tattooing is an ancient art that has been practiced since prehistoric times. When European settlers arrived in North America, many of their reports expressed surprise at the bodily decoration of the native peoples.
Today, some people get tattoos with Native American-inspired designs, hearkening back to this history. These are often referred to as tribal tattoos.
The tribal wolf design is a popular example. The wolf, one of the largest North American predators, held deep symbolism for Native American peoples. According to the creation myth of the Pawnee, the wolf stole a bag that contained the first humans.
When they were released, they killed the wolf, making him the first victim of death. Other groups believed that a wolf created the world.
Many tribes called upon the wolf for bravery, hunting skills, unity, or healing. The Omaha people have a legend of a wolf that guided a warrior back to his camp. The Cherokee had a "wolf clan" who would never kill a wolf.
