Step-by-Step Tutorial for Drawing an Anime Wizard
Sword Art Online's Klein once said, "An RPG without magic? That's a pretty bold decision." If you're not ready to be so bold, you can include this anime wizard in your story.
Anime Wizard drawing - Step 1
1. Use a curved line to draw the man's face in 3/4 perspective. Draw a grid across it to help you place the facial features in a later step.

2. Center the eyes and arched eyebrows on each half of the horizontal grid line, and the nose and mouth across the vertical line. Then, draw straight lines downward from the back of the head and each side of the forehead. These will become the wizard's long hair.

3. Erase the guidelines from the face. Also, erase the top of the head. In its place, draw the pointy wizard hat. You can refer back to the lesson on anime hats for full step-by-step instructions.

What to draw next?
How does this anime and manga wizard fit into your character's story?
Did he use magic to turn the wolf girl into a kemonomimi? Does he disguise himself as a harmless old man or an innocent little boy?
Additionally, does he look like you would expect a wizard to in the world you have created? If not, that's okay - you can change and customize this character.
Give him glasses or a beard. Dress him in normal clothes. Or adjust his facial features to make him appear more kindly or malevolent.
