Hello, today I will show how to draw a simple wolf head.

Working on the Base

first off, you will have to draw a plain circle. you can trace a lid of something or do it freehand. then you draw a line (this will be the muzzle) a bit above the middle of the circle.

Muzzle Base( Working on the Base Part 2)

now you will need to draw a line curving inwards toward the circle, making the front of the muzzle. then draw a line connecting the front of the muzzle to the circle.

Head Base ( Working on the Base Part 3)

now you draw a line angled down and straight towards the muzzle. stop a bit halfway and go almost straight down, connecting the forehead to the muzzle.

Ears

go to the back of the head( where the forehead line begins) and draw a curved line towards the back of the base. then draw a line for the back of the ear, follow the photo for reference.

The Neck ( Working on the Base Part 4)

go back the the line that makes the base of the muzzle and draw an angled line going towards the front of the forehead. then draw an angled line downwards toward the muzzle base line again. to finish the eye base, draw a line on the bottom, following the muzzle base line.

draw two curved lines inside of the eye, making a partial circle. then draw an almost half circle in the line nearest to the forehead. fill in everything except the middle of the eye, follow the reference photo if you have trouble.

Eyebrow

draw two lines above the eye, angling them to make an upside down v shape. add a line going almost straight up. then thicken the eyebrow, tapering it as it gets nearer to the end.

The Nose
