Cool Things to Draw When Bored: How To Draw Wolves

How to draw Wolves - Step 1

Body
I always start to draw from a large circle (head) and a smaller circle (snout). Large oval denotes the chest, while the circle next to it - the pelvis. Then draw the spine: a line from head to pelvis, turning into the tail.

Now we'll draw lines between the circles, getting the face, the neck and the back. Then paint the legs, I think they are the hardest part, but eventually you will learn how to draw them. Animals have the same structure of the feet, as we do, but in different proportions:
1-paddle
2-arm
3-elbow
4-wrist (pastern)
5-coccyx
6-hip
7-foot
8-heel
9-shank
Leg bones of animals are much shorter than ours, and they walk as if on the tips of their toes.

Feet
As I said the wolf paws are big and powerful. The front paws have 5 toes, like us, only the thumb goes up, not touching the ground. Rear legs are only 4 fingers.
