Wolf Sketch – Howling

Pencil sketch of a timberwolf howling by Rebecca Latham

This is a new miniature that I started on – a timberwolf howling.  This is a 1/6th scale miniature painting.  Hopefully I will have it done in time for it’s deadline. ;) Rebecca Latham | Wildlife Artist

    • maddie says:

      It does doesn't it! i love it I think Rebecca should draw more wolves, and by the way my sisters name is Rebecca and its also spelled the same way too! :D

  5. Rebecca says:

    Thank you, Hannah.

    It was a thrill to watch him call to the pack. The painting of it is almost done – I should have it up here soon.

  6. Ashley says:

    Those paintings and sketches are really good i wish i had that talent i almost wanted to use one for a school project but we have to do our own drawings

  7. Rebecca says:

    Thank you, Ashley.

    I’m sure you do beautiful drawings. Keep practicing! :D I couldn’t draw or sketch very well when I started. I kept at it and got a lot better – I know you can do it too! :D

    Best Wishes!!

  9. Chrissy says:

    Ooh… I love it very much. I admire the way you are able to capture the realism of animals!

  10. Friendly Artist says:

    Hey this picture is amazing. Is there any thing you would like to suggest for an upcoming artist?

  11. Rebecca says:

    Make a lot of artwork. You learn from experience – working in your medium.

    That, and make sure that you’re having fun in what you do. :)

  12. Krisi says:

    wow i have always loved wolves but i have never seen anyone capture the real beauty of a wolf the way you did i love your work

  13. Liliya says:

    I cant believe how good u draw. I tried to copy it but it did not turn out as good as urs.

  14. Allie says:

    I am amazed how great you can draw! I can only draw Japanese cartoons…. I will never be able to draw as good as your family.

  15. Allie says:

    Oh! By the way, have you ever drawn Japanese cartoons??? (of people)

    Well, I think it is pretty fun when you can make up your own character!

    ……………….Do you have any advise about drawing???

  16. Amy says:

  18. jennifer says:

    hey, your an amazing artist! the only thing i can draw is flowers lol. ppl say i’m good but my sucks compared to this haha. i love wolfs and this picture is great.

  19. Rebecca says:

    Krisi, wolf, Lilya, Allie, Amy, Anon, Jennifer – Thanks for dropping by & leaving comments! :D I’m glad you like it!

    Well, tips…

    Practice a LOT. Get critiques of your work – ask what you could do to improve them. Observe your subject…the shape, shading, colors…critical. Read lots of books – I like the books “More Wildlife Painting” & “Painting the Drama of Wildlife Step by Step”.

    Hope that helps some….

    Wow this is amazing! I wanna finally try to take my wolf drawings sseriously since i been drawing them often ( since 3rd grade) and ppl said i drew good wolves so i wuz look over web for inspiration and i seen lots of your work! YOUR GREAT!!!!

  21. Rebecca says:

    Thanks, Wolf Fan. :D

    Yes, you should – sounds like you have talent. I’m sure you will do very well.

  22. Krush says:

    KAILIE A.K.A. KRUSH♥:) :D 8D

    • maddie says:

      I'm 10 too and i love wolves. i used to like dogs more but if we didn't have wolves then Patch wouldn't be my little puppy girl and my life would be rather boring!

  23. Allie says:

    Wow! I havent been on this website in a while! …..
    I like your new paintings!
    Especially the wolves!
    I love when you give them certain exprecions!

    u r so good!
    like I said before, I can only draw anime…still fun though!

    …Have you ever taken any sketching classes?

  24. Allie says:

    Oh, and also, I was wondering, do you draw/sketch some of your work on computer?
    (cause I know there is this one drawing computer program that people who draw anime do it on instead of just drawing on regular paper)

    (The program looks so cool it has EVERYTHING that you would need to draw with! It has shadowing and pencil and literally HUNDREDS of doodads!)

  25. Lucy says:

    Hey I luv Your Drawings! I also am a young artist, but I’m not as good as you! Your amazing at it! Hey, do you think you can draw a horse or something for your website cause then I will put it on my My Space! Well, Love your work,bye!

  26. Kelly says:

    hi! wow! it is soooo great! wolves are my fave animal. i am taking art lessons. hopefully i will be able to draw as good as you someday!
    :D :D :D

  27. Emma says:

    That’s a great picture! I like drawing animals too. I especially like doing dogs and owls though. I’m not so good at domesticated cats, but I like to do wild cats. I can’t draw wolves as good as you. Mine look like they came from the flea bag!

  28. iluvsketching says:

    Hi,
    i like sketching and i love ure sketches especially the wolves. Did u ever take sketching classes and if so where?????? I can sketch animals pretty good but im not so good sketching people…….KEEP UP THE AWSOME WORK….:D:DI CAN DRAW WOLVES BUT NOT AS GOOD AS YOU….MINE DONT REALLEY HAVE THAT MUCH DETAIL……

  29. Kate says:

    I love wolves so much. Your art is amazing! I have started drawing more wildlife now, because of your paintings, and sketches. The wolf is FANTASTIC!

  30. katie[loves]robert says:

    omg!!!! it’s really good!!! But guess what! my last name is latham too!!!!! awesome!!!!

  31. Beth says:

    WOW! Your work is so good! I tried to copy your picture for a project but it didn’t come out anywhere near as good as yours! Do you have any helpful tips for beginners?

  32. I lurve wild animals!!! says:

    Your work is AWESOME!!! I have tried miniature psintings… but I don’t aspire to be an artist. I rely on your “7 tips for miniature paintings” a lot, but my work still is terrible! I’m wondering: how long does it take normally for you to finish a miniature painting??

    • Rebecca says:

      Thanks!

      I’m glad you find the article helpful! Um… Good question. It can take a while to finish them..depending on how much you are putting into them. Larger ones, of course, take longer. If things are going VERY smoothly, I can complete a 4×6 or so sized miniature painting in a day or two (if there isn’t a background to paint into it).

      I hope you keep at it! We all start someplace… :)

  33. natwing says:

    OMG! That is an amazing wolf! all of my friends say that im a super good wolf drawer. (i have been drawings since 4th grade) Do you have any ideas or tips for a young drawer?

    • Thanks! Hmmm… tips… Practice a lot. Ask for advice from artists you know or meet that you respect (get critiques). Take classes if possible. Observe your subjects as much as possible (also draw from life and/or take good reference photos as much as you can). ….hope that helps!

  34. C.P says:

    Wow, i'm 12, and I love to draw wildlife! got any advice?

  35. tori says:

  37. Erin says:

    Do you have any tips on drawing the eyes or teeth for wolves? My drawings are ok, but the eyes look sort of dead and the teeth aren't lined up correctly :- Your art is amazing!
