Description A little crash course in Wolf anatomy. Really basic. I'm not claiming to be an expert.

Numbers below correspond to numbers above.

1. In purple are the basic muscles, in black are the basic joints.

2. More of the above - front and back legs are different!

3. More fur goes here, but this is generally a lean wolf's body mass.

4. Basic ears, when upright

5. Basic ears, when down (opening faces outwards)

6. Basic perspective for wolf faces

7. Wolf eye, arrow points towards muzzle

8. Basic muscles from a front view

9. Placement of eyes, nose, mouth, whiskers, whisker-dots

10. Placement of tail

11. Fluffy neck

12. Dew claw, only on front paws, faces inwards (like human thumbs)

13. Paw bump thing... again, only on front paws (on back)

Hope this helps!

Thank Gawd.. I draw amazing when I dont plan on showing anyone but while I draw and know im gonna upload it to dA, I get nervous and draw it terribly..

You should just draw for yourself then, and if something comes out really nice, then share it!

Huh, pretty good take on wolf anatomy; covers the basic 'skeleton' very well.

I still have trouble with anatomy, usually humans but animals are also a huge challenge.
