The wolf is a predatory mammal that belongs to the carnivorous order, the canine family. Most wolves are medium to large sized predators, with the gray and polar wolves being the largest.
The original range of the wolf was one of the most extensive among all mammals. Wolves live in most of the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth. Now the wolf lives in Eurasia and North America, in the expanses from Mexico to Alaska. It adapts well to different landscapes and new environmental conditions. Often settles near human habitation.

How to Draw a Wolf
- Beginning to Construct the Head.
Start by shaping the shape of the howling wolf’s head.
- Detail the head.
In the second step, you will be adding the nose and ear details to the wolf’s head just drawn.
- Outlining the body of the fox.
To start drawing the bottom of the wolf, you need to first draw the furry outline of the body. Extend lines from under the head and create the shape of the wolf’s torso.
- Add legs.
At this step, we will be moving onto the legs of your wolf drawing! Using a curly line, draw the wolf’s folded hind leg, then draw the foot. Then draw the front wolf leg using curved lines as in the example.
- Draw the second part of the legs.
Now that the two near legs and paws are drawn, we can move on to adding the second pair of legs for our wolf.
- Add paw details.
Now you need to detail the wolf’s feet by adding paw lines. Also draw the lines that separate the wolf’s fur on the paws.
- Texture the fur of the wolf.
Add furry contours and lines on the body of the wolf.
- Shaping the tail.
As the body is complete, we can move on to the tail! To draw the curved tail of the wolf, you need to start by drawing the top curved line. Then round off the tip of the tail and draw a furry line on the bottom of the tail.
- Color your howling wolf.
To color the wolf, you need shades of gray. Paws, chest and tail tip light gray, and the rest of the wolf fur gray.
