Description O_O Well I was asked to make this, so I did. Now, to detail the last picture:

Step Five
This is all about the details and addons. You'll note that the eye was given lids, so he could blink , and the ear was brought out and emphasized by the cheek. When I doodle in cheeks and the like, I think triangular, and that seems to work well. To finish off the paws, draw in curved lines and dot in the nails (Always remember the nails are at the bottom of the paws, not the middle or top ), and drew in the tail.

Unfortunately this isn't a fur tutorial, but I have one of those as well, and you can go HERE to get it.

If you can't read my writing under the details, I will retype it here.

Eyes
You should always begin the eyes with a circle, because eyes are round. Draw the lids ontop of the circle [and detail in lashes etc]

Ears
Make them as 3-dimensional as you can! The more the better !

Paws
RAWR! Paws are fun to draw, this I promise you ^.^
Things to remember:
i) Nails are at the bottom (not the middle of top !)
ii) Detail isn't necessary unless you're doing a close-up

Well, That's it o_o. I know that my style is not every ones, and I hope that people can use this an example to help gain their own techniques!! Good luck !!

Here's another tips for drawing paws - the claws are always as close to the middle of the paw as the size of their toe alllows them! hope this helps

Wow, I've looked through so many wolf tutorials, and I've got to say, yours is probably the best one for a "realistic cartoon" style, as I call it; thankies for making it!!

you're welcome I actually haven't drawn for almost seven years, but with your tutorial, I'm actually doing pretty good

I got to step four of this pose, which I've almost finished, and I have to say: you were right about the hind legs; the far one wasn't too bad, but the near one is giving me trouble (the shin area always looks weird when I try it)

I have a few questions on poses; do you mind if I ask them?

Thanks I was going to ask about fur, but I found a style that I like So I was curious: do you have any further tips on drawing paws, and any tips for drawing tails? Mainly one like my fursona's (the dark red one in this pic) [link]

look at that, i use triangles to get my shapes right. But that's for my style of paws, yours can be different

Your tail looks fine to me!

Thanks for the link!

Well, the pic I showed was drawn by my best friend (the wolfeh who's nomming on my tail XD); do you mainly draw tails freehand?

deadlights11 In reply to tatsu-okami [2009-01-23 05:28:42 +0000 UTC]

yeah, how else would you draw them?

tatsu-okami In reply to deadlights11 [2009-01-24 11:07:09 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I'm not sure if it was freehand the way I drew my recent one... Oh, and about the paws: if the side view is going to be from farther away, should two digits still be visible?

deadlights11 In reply to tatsu-okami [2009-02-05 02:02:19 +0000 UTC]

Again, thanks for the tutorial; I've done my first "true drawing" in a looong time; it's the most recent one in my gallery, if you'd like to see what I was able to accomplish using your tutorial

CAELWIT [2009-01-06 07:39:56 +0000 UTC]

Since I got semi-bitched at for not giving credit where credit was due recently, I'd like to say that I used your tutorial as reference for anatomy and pose for [link]

Your tutorial was very very helpful, and I learned a lot. I've been able to do some more freely-drawn wolves since then. An example would be the Christmas present I made for my RP friend. :3

Again, thanks for the tutorial, and I'm sure it will continue to come in handy for me (as well as many others) in the future.
