Young Arctic Wolf Resting With a Curious Head Tilt

A young-looking wolf rests on the ground with its chest lifted and its head turned slightly to the side, giving a calm, curious look. The fur is drawn with many short, feathery pen strokes, especially around the cheeks, neck, and shoulders. Both front paws stretch out in front, and the back paws tuck near the body, with toes and claws clearly outlined. Behind the wolf, a few soft lines mark rolling hills and flat snowy ground, so the background stays open and simple. Try leaving the wolf mostly white and adding pale gray or light blue shading along the fur lines, then use soft blues and lavenders for the hills. It also works well for talking about how animals living in cold places stay warm. Print as many copies as you need for a class or a quiet afternoon at home.
