Draw a drawing of a wolf with a pencil with your own hands in stages. Learning to draw a wolf. Tools and materials

In this lesson, we will take a closer look at how to draw the head of a wolf, or rather a wolf, with colored pencils. The technique of drawing wool, the technique of applying colors and what colors to use when drawing animal fur are shown. A very, very detailed drawing lesson on the topic of colored pencils.

The drawing was drawn on A4 paper with colored pencils KOH-I-NOOR and Derwent.

First I sketch. I try to make it as detailed as possible to make it easier to work in the future. I outline the boundaries of different colors and transitions. All pictures are enlarged.

I start working in color with the eyes. First, I paint over the darkest places with a black pencil, lightly outline future shadows. Then I start adding the color of the iris in layers. First I go with light browns, ocher, then I add darker browns and a little green. A little bit of blue has been added on the eyelids. For greater realism, I apply strokes from the pupil to the edge around the circumference, so a more natural texture is obtained. I leave highlights unpainted.

Then I start working on the wool. Here it is important to ensure that the pencils always have sharp tips, only then the wool will be neat and thin. First, I lightly outline the general direction of the coat. Where the coat is red, I use different shades of light brown, on gray - gray. Focus on ref. I don’t press on the pencil, because I will add color saturation later.

I add shades on the wool, gradually increasing the brightness. In gray wool, blue and desaturated green tones will look good. I add black hairs with separate thin strokes.
Then I start the final hatching of the gray wool. I start with the darkest area from ear to eye. Sometimes I enhance the blue tint, additionally passing with a blue pencil.

I wanted to finish the forehead and ear first, but for some reason I wanted to continue with the sideburn. And I already realized that it is better to draw what you want than to suffer with what you have planned. Therefore, I continue this area. I do underpainting with color and outline the direction of the wool.

Finished the sideburn and cheek. I left the bottom lighter than necessary - there I will work when I get to the muzzle and neck - I need to see the contrast. She lightly stroked her forehead with a black pencil, marking the dark hairs.

Almost completed the forehead - intensified the black, added blue and shades of brown. Outlined the direction of the wool on the ear.

I'm working on the ear. First I add shades, then I fix the tone with a black pencil. First, I worked out the edges of the ear, and then the inside. In order to show the direction of the hairs, I made strokes with a gray and brown pencil, long, in some places I added black.

Similarly, I work on the second half of the forehead. I outline the direction of the coat, add shades of blue and brown, then lightly go over the black before picking up the final tone.

Finished the forehead. For the most part I worked with a black pencil, in some places enhancing the blue and brown shades. I added some green.

Finished the second ear by analogy with the first. First I made the edges red, then added black for the desired shadow, green and blue for the shades. To separate long strands of light hairs, I put jerky strokes in black.

Made a nose. First, I marked the darkest places and partial shade with a black pencil, then I added shades of purple, blue and a little green, and at the end I increased the black to the desired tone.

Red outlined the hairs on the muzzle.

Went down the back of the nose in brown and black. I added hair in gray on the white part of the muzzle.

Finished the muzzle. Enhanced red shades with different brown pencils. Added individual black hairs for more liveliness.

I still don’t feel like doing the cheek, so I left the underpainting and outlined the black edge. Made underpainting wool on the neck. On a dark area, I first walked in black, then added shades and fixed it with black to the desired tone. On light - on the contrary (first a blue pencil, then black and brown).

With a black pencil, I outlined the hair on the rest of the neck, determining the direction and some strands.

Finished the neck in the same way. Light strands worked through each separately, first passing in the direction of the wool with brown, and then adding dark brown and black.
Ready.

Step 1.

First, this step is very important. Do not skip this step by any means, as this will reduce your chances of developing the exact moments of the future drawing in the form of a snarling wolf's head. Try to make these basic steps as accurate as possible.

Step 2

Then we simply draw the eyebrow and part of the muzzle in the form of a nose and the upper part of the mouth, the bridge of the nose is folded in tension in the form of folds. The nose is like a small heart.

Step 3

Then we can easily deal with further detailing for the muzzle. Mark the folds that are barely visible with a thin line. With lines of varying thickness and depth, a more interesting effect can be achieved. The drawing will turn out more spectacular and powerful.

Step 4

Now I want to emphasize that there are few wrinkles on the bridge of the nose, only three or four on the muzzle. For better detail, I enlarged the drawing of the muzzle of the wolf so that you can see the exact expression of the anger on his face.

Step 5

Now we will draw the upper jaw along with the gums and fangs. We draw individual teeth like hills with peaks from the main fangs. The gums are the same.

Step 6

However, I'll give you more advice. Be accurate in the number of gums and teeth of the wolf. The gums are visible only in the uttermost fury of the animal!

Step 7

Now we draw the lower jaw in our drawing of an angry and growling wolf. I know that this will seem too complicated, but you can do it in one go. Lightly outline the mouth first and then add the teeth or tongue. Then start drawing.

Step 8

Now let's draw the shape of the chin and fur for the shape of the head and ear. Unlike dogs, the wolf has a larger and more plump head. This is a harsh condition for survival in the wild in the mountains, cold forests of Canada or Siberia.

The wolf is a dangerous predator, including for humans. But he also has a number of outstanding features for which the wolf fell in love with people. His bravery and loyalty are legendary. Therefore, the image of a wolf is often used in films, cartoons and books. Also, you can see paintings, posters and even tattoos with various images of a wolf. Today we will devote our lesson to the question " how to draw a wolf with a pencil?, the lesson will be very detailed and step-by-step so that even children can draw a wolf easily and simply.

Tools and materials:

1. White sheet of paper.
2. Hard simple pencil.
3. Eraser.

Stages of work:

Photo 1. We start building the muzzle of the wolf from the most prominent part - the nose. We outline its shape with straight lines:

Photo 2. Let's draw the shape of the tip of the nose, as well as the dividing line between the mouth and nostrils. The wolf will not be fully depicted in profile, so its left side will be slightly visible. Draw his mouth closed:

Photo 3. Below we draw a part of his neck, and from above - a part of the muzzle of the animal:

Photo 4. We outline the location of the left eye and ear, which will be in the background:

Photo 5. Next, draw the right eye. Its shape will be pointed, and the size will be slightly larger from the left eye. Pupils draw pointed:

Photo 6. Let's add a second ear, which is deployed in full face. Let's also draw a rounded shape of the wolf portrait:

Photo 7. We refine the edge of the muzzle, reinforcing our pencil. Let's draw the places of the bends of the wool:

Photo 8. We begin to apply strokes from the nose. This part will be the darkest and most prominent in the picture. We make strokes in the direction of hair growth:

Photo 9. We continue to apply tone. Highlight the eyes with a pencil, because the eyes and nose are similar in tone:

Photo 10. We start drawing the wool from the left side, because the background part sets the tone for the elements in front:

Photo 11. At the same pace, we continue to draw the fur of the beast, smoothly moving to the right side:

Photo 12. Let's increase the contrast of the drawing on the left side with more pressure on the pencil:

Photo 13. We set, along the edge of the right side, short hair on the ears:

Photo 14. Let's draw the entire ear of the wolf. The hairs will be a little messy, but you should pay attention that they still intersect in the middle of the ear:

This tutorial will detail, how to draw a howling wolf pencil step by step. Step-by-step pictures of a wolf with detailed recommendations will make the drawing process simple and understandable. To make the task even easier, I will break the drawing into two large steps:

• Head Drawing - Here you will learn how to draw the muzzle, ears and neck of a wolf.
• Drawing the body - in this step we will deal with drawing the whole body of the wolf.

Stage 1

We will start drawing from the head of the wolf. We need to draw his face and ears. Let's get started.

Step 1

First of all, we need a basis for drawing. If you remember what the wolf's head looks like in profile, then you can understand that it consists of two parts - the oval part of the head and the elongated part of the muzzle. That is why for the base we need to draw the following figure.

Step 2

As you can see, the bottom line is a little shorter than the top one. We connect these lines so that there are no hard transitions, and the corners are soft. Almost at the very end of the oval, we begin to draw the ears of the wolf - one of them, which is closer to us, is visible completely, and the second is mostly hidden.

Step 3

Now let's draw the face of the wolf. We limit the tip of the muzzle with a line, this will be the nose, we divide the middle of the elongated part - since the wolf howls, his mouth should be slightly ajar. Also do not forget to draw the eyes of the wolf.

Step 4

It's time to draw a wide neck. We do not draw it smooth, as our wolf is covered with gray hair. The neck needs to be drawn in the form of fur directed down.

Step 5

It is necessary to give the ears of the wolf "fluffiness", that is, we add individual elements, as shown below. All extra lines must be erased in the process of drawing.

Stage 2

So, we figured out the drawing of the head and muzzle of the wolf, now you can proceed to the equally difficult part, that is, the body.

Step 1

As always, in drawing complex objects, we start with simple shapes. We need to draw something like this - the body of a sitting wolf tapers towards the neck, and towards the bottom we see a significant distance between the paws.

Step 2

Now we start to flesh out the shape, I will work with the chest and front paws. Focusing on the initial contours, draw the fur on the chest and the lines of the paws. At the ends of the paws I add claws.

Step 3

Let's move on to the next part. We start from the back, draw a slight bend there. Add lines of paws and fur on the belly of the wolf. Be sure to draw a tail.

Good afternoon! Let's try to draw a traditional inhabitant of deep forests - a wolf. We tried to make it not cartoony, but close to reality. That is, of course, we didn’t draw all the wool and didn’t really work with chiaroscuro. But we tried to make it formidable and harsh. We hope that we succeeded, and we also hope that you succeed too. So, let's start the lesson on how to draw a wolf.

Step 1

Let's first outline the contours of the body of our wolf. First draw the circles that form the head (one circle) and torso (two circles, the front one is larger). Then connect the head with the first ball of the body, and the first ball of the body with the second with the usual smooth line. From the second ball of the body, draw a broken line - the tail. Then outline the limbs. At the end of the step, draw a cone on the head ball, as in our sample.

Step 2

Now there will be quite a lot of work, but in the next steps everything will be easier. Now let's start with the head. With a longitudinal line, mark the muzzle into two halves (as you can see, it is shifted to the left). Let's outline a pair of ears with borders on one side.

Then connect the ball of the head with the first (and largest) ball of the body. The connection is represented by two lines, it forms a large and powerful neck.

After that, you should connect the large and small balls of the body together. The resulting figure should taper slightly backwards.

The final step is working with paws. The forelegs and hind legs are different in shape - naturally, you saw this strong bend on the hind legs, despite the fact that the front ones are straight. But, despite this, the front and hind legs have one very similar feature - they taper equally smoothly downwards in their lower part.

Step 3

Well, that's all, went very short steps. Let's draw small, menacing eyes. They are fairly close set (focus on the vertical line of the muzzle). Also note that the eyes are angled, giving them a frowning and aggressive look.

Step 4

Now let's outline the muzzle with jagged contours, as in our drawing. Draw the neck with the same contours. An important point - the neck should not be outlined strictly along the line from the second step, but a little more voluminously.

Step 5

Let's repeat the same step, only now it will not be the neck, but the front part of the body and the front paws. The serrated contours here will be visible on the belly, slightly on the nape, and also at the base of the paw. Yes, well, and about the claws, of course, do not forget.

Step 6

As you probably already guessed, we are next in line for the back of the body, hind legs and tail. We edging in the same way, selectively applying jagged contours. Here you can see them on the tail, and mainly on the top of the paws.
