Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw a wolf.
We begin by doing the main masses.
This is going to be the frontal part of the body
then a circle for the head…
…I want to do it the simplest for you.
Then an arch for the front legs.
We mark the hind legs
and the hips.
Very good, very simple!
Now the neck and the ears.
With just a curve.
Then a line were the eyes will go
and a middle line for the head.
That´s very important!
With that, we have the basic structure.
Now we just need to give it shape [laughter].
We begin doing the thickness of the legs
… a circle for the nose,
and then we mark the mouth.
Which is almost like a bird flying.
We draw the lines on the line we made, originally.
That was, in the center of the circle.
The ears of the wolves are pretty wide if you look at them from the front.
The neck also with all of the long fur, looks, very very wide.
We give some shape and thickness to the legs.
These wolves that are on the snow and stuff like that, can have very long hair
on the side of the face.
As you see I´m making the ears, even wider.
And they are pretty round, looking at them from the front.
Very good!
Long fur over here, as well.
On the sides of the neck.
My wolf looks like he is smiling [laughter].
But I think is a bit of a crooked smile so let´s erase it to fix that
and make it more straight.
Also we can erase all the lines that we don´t need anymore.
The sketch lines.
By the way I will upload a long version of this tutorial

Around the eyes, he has a like a black line of the skin,
that is on the edge of the eye.
This eye, looks just a little lower ...I will handle that.
And let´s draw the snout better.
Not crocked.
I think that looks better.
Usually the iris of the eye is light and of course the pupil
is dark, black.
And we render the fur with very short lines, short strokes.
Wolves have stripes or change of tones of the fur, like very dark
in the middle of the head and on the side of the eyes, etcetera.
And we continue shading... building the form and shape,
with these little strokes… little lines.
Which you can see better in this close-up.
Also the fur is not all even
it may have sort of layers.
And you can draw a shadow on the bottom of a layer
just underneath to show that it is sticking out.
And with the eraser we can pull some lights.
The fur usually comes together in little lumps, which is what we draw and
not so much hair by hair.
Very good!
I love drawing animals [laughter].
We do the last details and it´s ready!
