Growling Wolf Glancing Back Over Its Shoulder

A wolf sits with its back toward us and twists its head to the left, baring its teeth in a snarl. The brow is pulled down over a narrow, angry eye, and the open mouth shows rows of pointed teeth and a long tongue with a fang curling below. Two tall pointed ears stand up from the head, and a shaggy ruff of jagged fur hangs around the neck. The long body curves down to a folded hind leg and a haunch on the ground, with a big tail stretched out along the bottom of the page. The outlines are bold and the shapes are large, so it works well for older kids who want to try shading. Try grays and browns on the body, then use a darker shade on the neck fur so the jagged tufts stand out. This free printable also suits a lesson on animal body language.
