I'll move this to my Scraps later, but I always find it interesting to see practice/learning sketches from people, so I thought that others might be interested in mine, too!

These are obviously wolf faces. Or not obviously? I'm not exactly used to drawing them, and this is my way of familiarising myself with the idea... Well, I say 'my way', but I imagine that the only way any artist learns to draw something easily from their imagination is to first draw it a billion and one times.

I studied and drew from photos of wolves yesterday, but none of these ones used photos; I was trying to 'experiment with what I'd picked up', in a way. It's interesting, because I could never do this with human faces; they'd look truly ghastly! But there's more leeway with animal 'faces'... I hope.

I tried to do them fluidly and quickly, with little attention to details, trying to get the 'gist' of the shape cemented in my mind so then I can elaborate on the little bits later on.

Anyway, hopefully this is the start of being able to fluently and impressively draw canines, though I've got a long road ahead of me!

Also, did you know that using a muted brown background for basic sketches like these automatically makes them look more skilled and professional than they would on a solid white background?!? o_O
I should keep that in mind from now on.
