There is a lot of incredible wildlife to behold throughout North America. One of the most widely known creatures throughout these lands is the coyote. This wolf-like dog is common in many parts of the country, and they can even be found in certain areas of South America. They are known for their eerie howls, and they are featured in many myths and stories throughout the country. Many people love these wily creatures, and it can be a lot of fun to learn how to draw a coyote. For people who love this animal, this will be a drawing tutorial that will provide a lot of fun and enjoyment! Our step-by-step guide on how to draw a coyote in just 6 easy steps will show you how you can recreate this famous predator. How to Draw A Coyote – Let’s Get Started! Step 1 This first step of our guide on how to draw a coyote will begin with the head of the animal. The coyote has small eyes, and you can begin by drawing them using some tiny circular shapes. These shapes will have some straight lines extending off of them as well. Then, add some jagged line details around the eyes, and then you can draw the nose underneath. Once the nose is drawn, you can then use some curved lines for the muzzle of the coyote. Then, use some pointy lines for the sides of the head to give it a furry appearance. Draw the neck extending down, and then we will finish off by drawing the ears. These will be fairly large, and you can add some curved line details to the interior. Step 2 – Now, draw the body and first legs of the coyote Now that you have the head of this coyote drawing, we can start adding the body and the first legs. First, use some smooth slightly curved lines extending down from the base of the neck for the first front leg. Then, use some sharp, jagged lines at the base of the leg to give the coyote its furry chest. You can use some similar jagged lines for the belly of the coyote. Use some more curved lines for the back of the coyote, and then you can finish off this step by drawing the first back leg. Step 3 – Draw the next leg for this coyote Continuing with this guide on how to draw a coyote, we will now be adding another front leg to the animal. This leg will look rather similar to the first one, as it will have some jagged fur lines near the base with smooth lines used for the rest. This leg will be bent at the foot a bit, as shown in the reference image. This will be the main difference between this leg and the previous one that you drew. Once this leg is done, we will be ready for the fourth step of the guide! Step 4 – Next, draw the last leg and the tail We will finish up the outlines of this coyote drawing in this part of your coyote drawing before we add some final details in the next step. To do this, draw the final leg at the back of the coyote. Because of the angle, you’ll notice that this leg has a more rounded base with the same thin, smooth bottom half that the other legs had. Once this leg is drawn, we can then add the tail dropping down. The tail is quite large and fluffy, and for that reason you can draw it using some curved and jagged lines connecting to one another to form the tail as it appears in our example. Then, you will be ready for those final details in the next step! Step 5 – Add the final details to your coyote drawing Now you’re ready to finish off the final details and touches in this fifth step of our guide on how to draw a coyote! These details will be fairly subtle, but they will help to make this drawing look even better than it already does. To add these details, you can draw some small, sharp lines onto the fur of the coyote to make these areas look thicker and more textured. You can also add some slightly curved lines to the tail to finish it off. Then you can finish off with some final details of your own! The coyote can be found in a wide range of different environments, so you have a lot of options for the kinds of settings you could choose for the animal. What final details and additions can you think of for this image? Step 6 – Finish off your coyote drawing with color This is the final step of this coyote drawing, and that means it’s time to have some coloring fun to finish off this amazing image! In our reference image, we showed you one way that you could color in this picture. We used some striking dark oranges, yellows and reds for the coat of this coyote, and you can use similar colors if you like the look of these colors. There are other colors you could go for as well, and you should definitely feel free to use any colors you love for it! What kinds of colors, shades and art mediums are you thinking of using to finish off this awesome coyote? 3 More tips to make your coyote drawing easy! Make this coyote sketch so much easier with the help of these tips. For this drawing of a coyote, we included a lot of fur details and other small touches to make it more realistic. These details look great, but they can make the drawing much harder to complete. If you want to try and make the drawing easier, then you may want to try and simplify some of these trickier details. The ones you choose to simplify would depend on what you are finding hardest to draw. This could be done in a few different ways, and one would be to use a different art style for the coyote. How else could you change the design to make it easier? If you want to keep all of the details of this coyote drawing but are feeling overwhelmed, you could use a pencil to make it much easier. Using a pencil allows you to work on perfecting the drawing without fear of mistakes. You can even break down the drawing into simpler shapes and portions and then add layers of more detail to the image. This can allow you to maintain the details and even add some extra ones. When you like how it looks, you can then add your pen lines to complete the drawing. Simply erase the pencil lines and then you will have a finished drawing! Using alternative resources can also make the coyote sketch much easier to complete. There are a few sources that you could use to do this. One of the best ways would be to look up pictures of coyotes online that you can use with the guide. If they are posed similarly to our example then that would be perfect! Even if not, the photos could be used for smaller details and elements of the design. If you have a dog in your house that has a similar body type to a coyote, then you could use that dog to help you draw this coyote. What other sources could you consult?
