Sixth Drawing Blog: How to Draw a Wolf

Step 1: Start with two six centimeter boxes, one on top of the other. Draw two small circles in the top corners of the bottom box. Draw a small triangle coming from the outside of the eye. This is the black line that helps the wolf not get dust into its eyes. Let there be a small curve at the end of this triangle, and then do this all to the other eye. Now draw a small oval in the center of the wolf's eye this will be the pupil. Shade the pupil in lightly, but don't shade the top of the oval. Draw a small semi-oval at the bottom middle of the square. Now finish the semi-oval by drawing the bottom part more circular then an oval. Draw a line from the bottom of the oval, and make it reach the bottom line of the square. To draw the nostrils of the nose have a circle right next to the line, and have a small line going to the side of the wolf's nose.


Step 2: Draw a small curved line under the eye, and make it go to the side of the nose. Do this also to the other side. Under the nose draw a small frowning mouth about the size of the nose. Then on each side, curve a line upwards so the line meets up with the line that we put under the eyes. Draw a small curve at the end of the lines, then make a smiling mouth right under it. This will make the wolf's mouth. Now, draw a six centimeter line going outwards on each side of the top box. Then draw a line downwards from those lines to make another box. Draw a big curve around the top of the wolf's head. The curves should be close to touching the sides of the new box we just made. On each side of the head draw a protruding triangular piece. This will be the wolf's ears. On the bottom sides of the ears draw multiple lines going outwards. This will be the fur.


Step 3: Draw fur on the top of the wolf's head between the ears. Start drawing circles of fur around the wolf's eyes. Between those curves of fur start drawing lines going upwards in all directions. continue drawing the fur on the bottoms of the ears, and make them go down towards the nose. At the line under the wolf's eyes draw lines going towards the center of wolf's face. Draw a circle of fur around the wolf's eye. On the ears of the wolf draw dark but small lines. Darken the fur that is between the ears. Draw a line of dark fur in the center of the wolf's ear. Now you are going to darken the wolf's eyes and nostrils. You are now going to shade in the nose, and add more fur between the eyes of the wolf. Add some fur around the mouth and connect it up with the fur next to the eyes. Now draw fur coming from the eyes and the center of the wolf's face, make it meet up with the edges of the wolf's face. Darken some of the lines on the wolf, and darken the top of his head. In the area around his cheeks don't shade anything; leave it white. Darken most of the end lines on the wolf. then finally make a body by drawing fur going towards the right, and connecting it to the face. That was how I draw a wolf. I hope you enjoyed it.

Fifth Drawing Blog: How to Draw a Lion Part 2

Hi everybody, this is part 2 of my lion blog. I hope you enjoy.

Step 1: Start right above the lion's face, and make a few dark lines going upwards. The further they go up the lighter they get. Make the lines reach the oval of fur that we made for the lion. Make sure that the lines seem like they are coming right out of the top of the lion's head. After you make the lines on the top of the lion's head start curving the ends of them. In the areas where the ears are, don't put that much hair. Just throw in a few strands here and there. Now you are going to shade the bottom left side of his face. Shade that part darker then the rest of the body. Then draw some lines coming out of the shaded part. Draw lines coming from the oval of fur, and connect it to the shaded part on the left side of the lion's face. Draw the lines from the top left side of the face, and connect it to the lines of the shaded part. Once you are done drawing the fur to the shaded area, take out your eraser, and start erasing some curves on the lions face. This will make it seem like the lions hair is not perfect, and looks messy. Draw small little lines on the lions ear so he would have fur on his ear. Then shade in the lion's ear lightly. Make sure that the shade looks like fur, so make it have some lines.


Step 2: On the lion's face repeat what you did to the right side. Make sure that the lines aren't the same, make all the lines messy and different. This is so the hair will actually look like lion's hair. Make the bottom part of the lion's face darker, so it would seem like the hair is coming out of it. To draw the lion's body, just draw one line going to the left, and one going downwards. Shade this in, so it would seem like it has hair on its body. Now you are going to start shading in some of the hair. On some lines, darken the middle. Darken the top few strands.



Step 3: Darken the ends of all the bottom hair strands to make it look like it is against the body. Draw a few more strands coming out of all the fur, so the lion's hair would seem imperfect. Finally, this is optional, grab a small paint brush and some white paint and paint a few strands for whiskers.

Fourth Drawing Blog: How to Draw a Lion Part 1

Hi everybody! This week I'll be working on part 1 of a lion drawing. I hope you enjoy it.

Step 1: Draw a two and a half inch square, and cut it in half twice so there are four smaller squares. Then around that you are going to draw a five inch box. Make sure that the bottom of the five inch box is part of the bottom of the smaller box. Draw a small line in between the boxes. Now you are going to draw a small heart that has no tip. Make sure the two lines of the heart end at the crossing of the smaller boxes. Then you are going to draw two circles both on opposite sides of the two squares. After that you are going to draw a circle around that circle and draw two small squares protruding from it: one from the bottom, and one from the left and right. You are then going to draw a flat "v" from the two bottom boxes. In the middle of that "v" you are going to draw a thick "t". You are then going to draw two big curves from one side of the lions face to the other. Right under it you are going to draw a small oval. Make sure that the bottom of the  oval seems fury, so draw protruding lines out of it.


Step 2: Draw a lot of small dots on the lion's face right above the two curves. Now you are going to draw two upside down "c"s with fur in front of it. Now draw a big oval of fur around all of this to make the lion's face. Darken the area around the eyes. Then draw a dot for the pupil and shade the eye in lightly. Then around the eye, draw some fur, brushing multiple line outwards away from the eye. Do this to the other eye. Darken the nose now and put some light dots on it. Shade very lightly around the nose to the mouth.


Step 3: Now you are going to shade in the mouth, so it would be very dark. Draw a few lines coming from the mouth going to the fury oval, so it would seem connected. Shade in the lion's face so that the sides of his face is darker then the middle. Lightly shade in the middle and darken the areas around his eyes. Make a dark line from the top of the heart that we drew in the beginning, that ends at the bottom of the eyes.
