This cartoon wolf is made from simple shapes: a round head with fluffy cheeks, two tall ears and a pear shaped body. Watch each step being drawn in pencil, then copy it on your own paper. It works for kids from about age 5 and for adult beginners too.
Copy the dark lines in each step. The grey lines are the parts you already drew.
Start in the upper part of your page, because the body goes below. Draw a round head. At the bottom left and bottom right, add a small pointy tuft of fur on each cheek. Press lightly so you can fix it later.
▶ Watch this step
On top of the head, draw two tall pointy ears that lean out a little. Inside each ear, draw a smaller pointy shape.

In the upper middle of the face, draw two round eyes with a gap between them. Color them dark and leave a tiny white dot for the shine. Add a small curved eyebrow above each eye.
▶ Watch this step
In the lower middle of the face, draw a wide oval for the snout. At the top of it, draw a big round nose and color it dark. Add a short line down and a small curvy smile.
▶ Watch this step
Under the head, draw a body that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a pear. On the chest, draw a long patch with a zigzag top edge for the fluffy fur.
▶ Watch this step
Draw two front legs going down the middle with round paws and small toe lines. On each side, draw a rounded back leg and a long foot. Finish with a big bushy tail on the right that curves up, and a small patch on its tip.
▶ Watch this step
Color the head, ears, body, legs and tail grey. Use light grey for the snout, chest, inner ears and paws, and dark grey for the tail tip. Keep the eyes and nose dark.

Tall, pointy ears are what make a wolf look different from a dog.
A zigzag line on the chest and cheeks makes the fur look fluffy.

Trace your drawing with a darker pencil or a black pen so it stands out after coloring.
Draw a big yellow moon behind your wolf for a fun night scene.
