How to Draw a Coyote
Draw a coyote in 13 easy steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: tipped-up head.
Step 1: Tipped-up head
Left of the middle, draw a big egg head tipped up to the right, fatter at the cheek end.
Tip The head is almost half the coyote.
Step 2: Snout and nose
From the brow, draw a short fat snout aimed up, with a blunt end. Stop on the cheek.
Step 3: Ears, eye and brow
Draw 2 pointy ears on the head, a triangle inside each. Below the snout, add a big eye and brow.
Step 4: Open jaw
Start under the snout. Draw a slim lower jaw forward to a small round chin, then back to the throat.
Step 5: Tongue and moon
Inside the mouth, draw a small pink tongue on the jaw. Draw a small moon where the snout points.
Step 6: Cheek ruff
Start under the ear. Draw 3 soft fur hills along the bottom of the head, stopping under the eye.
Step 7: Back and ground
Start behind the ear. Draw 3 fur hills down the neck, then the back down to a long ground line.
Step 8: Thigh and back paw
From halfway down the back, draw an egg thigh and a plump paw, stopping on the ground. Add 2 toes.
Step 9: Chest and front leg
Start at the throat. Draw the chest bowing out, down a leg to a plump paw. Stop on the ground.
Step 10: Paws and tummy
From behind the paw, go up the leg and tummy, stopping at the thigh. Add toes and a far paw.
Step 11: Bushy tail
Start on the back where the thigh begins. Draw a long thick banana tail sweeping up, ending on the bottom.
Step 12: Cream ears, yellow moon
Go over your lines. Colour the inside of each ear cream and the moon yellow. Leave the eye white.
Step 13: Tan coyote, red mouth
Colour the coyote tan, going around the eye and ear insides. Colour the mouth red around the tongue.
