Begin by drawing the basic guidelines to form the body shape of both the wolves. Depending on whether you're right handed or left, I would work from left to right. It's important to draw these guides in an equal distance, because we'll be using lots

As you draw each wolf, rotate your paper accordingly depending on the angle of either wolf. It helps out a lot to do this because it'll automatically relief strain of figuring out how to draw each wolf in these confusing angles.

Now, because this wolf is going to be overlaying the tail of the white one, we have to draw this one first. Begin by sketching the head shape, which has lots of protruding curves and sharpness. The ears should be evenly drawn apart so that if you dre

Finish the head by sketching the facials, again using thin line weights.

Sketch the twisted shape of the body, keeping in mind that the similarity of this wolf and the other should be very much the same. Try your hardest to make them both similar.
10
Finish off by drawing the tail and front hidden paw.
