How to Draw Werewolf Heads - Different Angles and Poses
1 Mane Styles Profile View
There's just so many ways to draw the manes of werewolf characters. Generally, what I like to do is mix different types of predatory animals that are similar in breed like (lions, tigers, wolverines, eagle heads, etc) to give the wolf's mane a bit mo
2 Mouth Positions
Here are 3 varieties to draw the werewolf's mouth. I drew up the first, which is closed relaxed expression, the semi open/tense mouth, and the fully open/super intense mouth. Notice how the muzzle is more defined with contours of the snout. This is v
3 Varied Head Poses
I've also drawn 2 views to draw a werewolf; 1) from the front, so you can observe how the snout/mouth/nose and eyes should be drawn from this angle, as well as 2) the 3/4 view which is what people tend to draw most because it is a balanced angle to d
4 Guidelines
Start with a simple circle for the head/face and then sketch in the facial guidelines.
5 Flared Cheeks
Using the shape you just made, go ahead and draw in the very thick tufts of fur that make up the werewolf's cheeks. Also, draw in the shoulders as well. Notice
6 Straight - Long Ears
Now you can draw in the very erect ears along with the top lining of the head shape.
7 Detailing
Detail inside the ears and begin to sketch out detailing and definition to the werewolf's fur.
8 Muzzle and Eyes
Use the facial guidelines to draw in the eyes and then the snarling nose bridge. Werewolves are known to have a very aggressive face expression to be sure to add those crinkles on the nose.
9 Mouth and Chin
Go ahead and draw the jaw which is open and snarling. You will also draw in the nose and chin too. Detail along the way.
10 Teeth and Tongue
Fill inside the beasts mouth with a nice set of teeth. Also make the gum line visible too.

Add shading throughout the way you see it done for you here.
12 Finished Line Art
The finished product is as shown.
13 Guidelines
The side profile of the werewolf needs to start with some basic guides and shapes. These establish the proportions for the face.
14 Muzzle Shape
Draw the forehead and snout using the guides you just drew. Be sure to make that deep crinkle indent to the snout as well.
15 Lower Jaw and Mane/Cheeks
Draw the ears and then create the jawline, chin and fur on the sides of the face. Notice how the fur is again, flared and tensed up in simple sections. The ears for this wolf will be drawn slightly smaller to add a bit of variety to the character.
16 Facials and Snout
We can draw in the eye and then the rest of the wrinkles on the nose. The creases in the snout should be drawn in sections like shown to add intensity to the impression of the wolf. Color in the area around the eyeball.
17 Teeth Shapes
Starting with the upper row, give this werewolf some teeth as you can see them done for you here. The teeth line up nicely.
18 Mane Shape
Create that layered look when it comes to drawing out the spiked fur all over the werewolf's head. This makes up the design of this monstrous creature.
19 Shading the Wolf
Let's add dimension to the wolf and shade parts of the wolf create a fuller looking form. Remember to mind your light sourcing too!

21 Guidelines
Draw a circle and sketch in the guides inside the circle for the face.
22 Snout and Lower Jaw
Begin drawing the structure for the werewolf's forehead, snout, mouth and chin.
23 Facials and Snout Detailing
Draw in the eyes, wrinkles, crinkles and creases on the snout and then draw in the nose.
24 Mouth and Pupil Detailing
Detail the corners of the mouth and color in some intense pupils.
25 Teeth and Tongue
Draw in those sharp teeth and color in the inside of the mouth. Don't forget to draw the tongue too.
26 Ears and Cheeks
Then, draw the long erect ears, as well as tuffs of fur around the cheeks and ears to add 'fluff' to the creature.
27 Mane Shape
Then, let's draw the flared backside of the neck and the extra layer of fur encompassing the cheek area.
28 Shading the 3/4 Wolf
