How to Draw a Wolf Pup · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Head and left side
Starting at the top of the head, draw two pointy ears with a small dip between them. Then wobble the line down the left side, bumping in and out like fluffy fur, and end with a little curl at the bottom for the foot.
Step 3: Fluffy right side
Start at the right ear and draw a bumpy, fluffy line down the right side of the body. Curve it round at the bottom for the bottom, ending with a tiny hook near the ground.
Step 4: The tail
On the right side, near the bottom, draw a small rounded loop like a leaf that sticks out. Start and end it on the body line.
Step 5: The eyes
Draw two small round dots in the middle of the face, side by side. Color them in solid and keep them the same size.
Step 6: Nose and mouth
Draw a small rounded triangle between the eyes for the nose. Under it, add a tiny wavy line for the mouth.
Step 7: Front legs
At the bottom of the body, draw a short line down on the left, then a curved U shape in the middle for the paw. Add a short line down on the right to finish the other leg.
Step 8: Toes and paws
Add a few tiny straight lines at the bottom of each paw for toes. Then draw a short line and small angle between the legs to show where they meet.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a wolf pup
- Lightly sketch a big oval first, so the pup's head and body feel the right size before you draw the fluffy outline.
- The wobbly fur on the sides is the trickiest part. Draw small, quick bumps instead of one long smooth line, and it will look like real fluff.
- Keep the eyes wide apart with the nose right between and below them. That is what makes the pup look young and cute.

Wolf pup fun fact for kids
