Redline

Quick Redline for you! Hope this is helpful.

I made the head a bit smaller and placed it forward like it is focusing on what is ahead of them. Adult wolves have a smaller forehead and longer muzzle as well as small to medium sized ears. Eyes are going to be placed a bit more forwards on the head. Wolves have a pretty fluffy coat especially around the neck.

For the back there is a gentle curve and then the haunches are rounded off. The back curve is a slight 'valley curve' or downward curve between the shoulder blades and point of the hips. Where the hips round off towards the tail is a gentle hill or upward curve.

I outlined the joints on the front and back legs. Placement can be tricky but references and practice are the best way to improve especially with trickier poses.

I made the tail a bit shorter as wolf tails aren't particularly long. Wolves use their tails to convey a ton of emotions or messages. Raised tails are usually a dominant or aggressive position. Neutral tails are usually down in a relaxed state where as subordinate or fearful is generally pressed to the side or tucked. [These are simplified explanations, there are many great charts or further information out there if you'd like to look at wolf body language further!] For this drawing since the wolf is simply walking I gave them a neutral tail.

I think you are off to a great start! If you have any question or something doesn't quite make sense don't hesitate to ask me for further explanation.
