Draw it step by step

Six steps to a wolf

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the body

Draw a long body like a bean, with a short neck going up at the front. Leave the top of the neck open.

2

A head with a long nose

Close the neck with a head whose nose points up at the sky. Leave a gap under the nose for the mouth, and zigzag the fur under the chin.

3

Give it a face

A little oval mouth in the gap, a dot nose on the tip, and one dot eye. Then two pointy ears standing up.

4

Legs and a tail

Four long legs with little feet. Then a big bushy tail with two bumps of fur.

5

A fluffy ruff

Draw a zigzag of fur across the neck, from the front line to the back line. Add one curve for the back leg's hip.

6

Finishing touches

A thin moon up in the corner and two little stars. Now this wolf is yours.

Go further

Now draw a wolf howling at something that isn't the moon.
