I was wondering...does wolf fur 'flow' in a specific pattern for each wolf or does each wolves' fur 'flow' differently? And can someone provide a diagram on which way the fur 'flows'? I'm digitally colouring a picture that I made on wolves, you see, and I need to know.
Sorry if the question is confusing, and if need be, I'll clarify...I can't think of any other way to word it right now.

Re: Wolf Fur
This diagram is from Drawing Wildlife by J.C. Amberlyn; copyright to that person. I do not own this diagram, and really shouldn't be distributing it >> I scanned it from a book. If you are looking for a good book on animal anatomy and fur patterns, etc, check this book out at your library or buy it online or in a store. There is more to it then just this diagram. Do not redistribute this image.

Wow, that image in the bottom-left is a good source for anybody looking to learn how to draw canines. Thanks for that, SD.

Re: Wolf Fur
Do you mean; "Does their fur go backwards/forwards" .etc?
Cause if you do,I think it goes backwards.

Both, actually. I'll check out that book too, thanks!pawnee wrote:you mean like facial fur or body fur? I also reccemend drawing and painting wolves, coyotes and foxes.

No, I don't mean that. I guess I should have been more specific. I meant, is there any pattern that wolf hair grows in or 'points in'.Dewfrost wrote:Do you mean; "Does their fur go backwards/forwards" .etc?Cause if you do,I think it goes backwards.
