What makes a cartoon wolf

A wolf looks a lot like a dog, but a few details change everything: tall pointy ears, fluffy tufts on the cheeks, a zigzag patch of light fur on the chest and a big bushy tail.

Tips for drawing a wolf

  • Make the ears tall and pointy.
  • Add small tufts of fur on the cheeks.
  • Draw the chest fur with a zigzag line so it looks fluffy.
  • Use two or three greys to make the fur look soft.
