Anime and manga often feature various animal-like characters, and in this tutorial, we'll focus on drawing a wolf-like female anime character.
Step 1 – Draw the Head
Begin by drawing the head, neck, and shoulders. To ensure symmetry, start with a vertical line down the middle of your drawing area. This line will help you maintain equal width on both sides of the head/neck/shoulders. Start drawing the head by sketching a rough circle for the top and then extending the lower portion of the face from it.
Step 2 – Draw the Ears
Now it's time to draw the ears. Make them fairly long since a large part of them will be covered by hair in later steps. The overall shape should curve outwards from the head and then back towards each other. You can also add some small splits at the ends of the ears to represent fur covering.
Step 3 – Position the Facial Features
Place the facial features as shown in the example. The proportions used here are consistent with most other tutorials on AnimeOutline.com. Draw the eyes just below the horizontal halfway point of the head. Make the pupils round, with the inner ends of the top eyelids slightly lowered. The top of the pupils should be slightly covered by the top eyelids, leaving some space between them and the bottom eyelids.
Step 4 – Draw the Hair
Let's make the character look more wild and wolf-like by drawing somewhat messy hair in large clumps. You can break the hair down into three parts: the front, sides, and back. Start with the front section, then move on to the sides and finally the back. After drawing the hair, erase the parts of the head and ears that are covered by it.
Step 5 – Draw the Ear Fluff
To make the ears more interesting and wolf-like, add some fur/fluff sticking out of them. Draw the fur in random-sized clumps pointing in slightly different directions.
Step 6 – Draw the Details of the Face
Now that you have a basic outline of the character, it's time to add some smaller details. Draw the inner parts of the eyes, including the pupils, highlights, and shadows/reflections. You can also add fairly large and bushy eyelashes around the eyes. To give the eyebrows a more fur-like appearance, add a few lines to hint at individual hairs. Fill the tiny bottom lip shadow with solid black.
Step 7 – Finish the Line Drawing
To complete the line drawing, add the collarbones and a hint of clothing. In this case, the clothes will be lined with fur to emphasize the wolf-like character. You can outline the fur with random zigzags, drawing them with light curves.
Step 8 – Apply Color
Now it's time to bring your drawing to life with colors! Choose your preferred colors, but for this example, let's go with grey for the ears and a blue shade (with a touch of grey) for the hair, eyes, and eyebrows. Grey is often associated with wolves, while the blue hair color will enhance the wintry, snow-covered woods theme. If you're coloring on paper, leave the highlight in the hair white. Fill the rest of the hair and eyebrows with a solid color. If you're coloring digitally, you can add highlights later. Keep the highlights in the eyes white and fill the non-shaded areas with color. Make the insides of the ears slightly darker than the outsides. Leave the ear fluff white for now.
Step 9 – Add Shading & Finish the Drawing
To add depth and dimension to your drawing, apply basic shading where shadows would naturally appear. Add some grey inside the ear fluff to create both shadows and a fur-like pattern. You can also add the following shadows:
- Drop shadows on the forehead and around the face from the hair.
- Shadows on the top areas of the whites of the eyes (cast by the eyelashes).
- A tiny shadow to one side of the nose (previously outlined, simply fill it with a darker color).
- A large shadow on the inner part of the “back hair.”
- A shadow on the neck cast by the head.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we focused on creating a captivating, wolf-like female anime character. However, there are countless other ways to draw wolf girls. Some characters may simply have wolf or other animal ears without any other features resembling a wolf. Others may feature more animal-like characteristics. Feel free to explore different possibilities and let your creativity run wild!
