Wolf Character Studies and Design

For a children's book I am currently writing, I needed to figure out how to draw wolves in a style I was happy and comfortable with, so I turned to previous examples of wolves from media that I look to in order to help build a basic body shape and design. The big poofy tails and fluffy chest helps give them a more 'wild' look, but I do also like the sleek fur to help give a more childish and friendly look to them.
