How to Draw a Wolf Face and Head

1. Start the eyes with two steep curves that point downward in opposite directions, like mirror images. Draw a circle underneath each curve. Sketch a smaller circle inside each shape, then cut out an even smaller circle for the highlight.

Close the shapes with curved lines. Draw lines between the eyes followed by short dashes.

2. Sketch more curved lines and dashes around the eyes like you're drawing a full-body wolf. For the nose, outline a loose oval shape with a curl at each end.

Draw two loops underneath that shape that point to the left and right, then connect them and sketch a line in the center of the nose.

3. Sketch a round W-shape for the snout with a curve underneath.

4. Draw a line on either side of the snout, then sketch dashes over these lines and on the center of the forehead.

5. Outline rounded triangles for the ears. Connect them with a line, and add a curved triangle on each end.

6. Sketch a wide L-shape inside each ear, then use triangles for the inner ears. Add dashes on either side.

7. Use rounded triangles and swooping lines to sketch the wolf's fur. The line should be loose and sketchy, like flames.

8. Repeat the previous step for the other side of the head.

9. Draw dashes inside the wolf face and head to give the fur texture.

Finally, outline the wolf face and head in black. You can use an ink or calligraphy pen to make some lines thinner and sketchier than others.

Use different shades of gray to color your cartoon wolf. To shade the white parts, use light grey. Add dark pink for the insides of the ears and yellow for the eyes.
