I’d suggest to look up some reference pictures or videos about wolves like

Here’s another thing. I can’t tell if you did this or not, but when sketching, try to use the pencil really lightly. All my sketches tend look like this:
I don’t know if you guys can tell what that is haha, but the point is, it’s really lightly drawn on the paper. Drawing lightly is good, because you can erase easily if you make a mistake, and you can use those lines for a reference for pen drawings, and you most likely won’t need to heavily erase a bunch of stuff after you ink it. It’s a good habit to have.
Also, when you’re drawing a character, try to imagine their personality and habits. You, as an artist, need to show who that character is, a basic idea of what their personality is, and other little details in one drawing. People should be able to take one glance at the character and know if they’re a bad guy or a good guy; if they have a shy personality or a mean one.
Ways to do that is, 1, their design. Character who are pleasant to be around usually have a circles as their base and soft round design. Round head, round, small nose, etc. Think of Poe from Kung Fu Panda. What about Disney villains? Every single one has some sort of pointy, triangle shape in their design. Try to incorporate shapes into your sketches. Do you see how I used mostly circles in my sketch? Even the cat’s markings are circles.
2, their pose. Whenever you draw someone you have to draw them in a pose. I usually take their personality and portray it in the pose they’re in. Take this drawing I found:
All of those people are all sitting down in the same exact chair, but you can tell each person’s personality just by the way they are sitting! Do you remember in The Lion King how Scar sat under pride rock all hunched up?
He is one of the best examples of this. You can see how he sits dejectedly, holding his head low to the ground. If Mufasa were sitting, would he hold his head high and proud?
3, colors. In The Lion King, scar has small green eyes and a shaggy black mane. Both of those colors are used a lot for villains. If you ever make another colored picture, take your character’s personality into account before you start coloring. Maybe they’re small, hesitant, skittish? Maybe use paler colors and on the cooler side (blue, purple, green.).
I said this because, looking at your wolf sketch, I can’t find any kind of personality trait hidden inside the drawing. Making your characters have personality will really add depth to your creation. You sketch is really good though, especially if you haven’t drawn a wolf before! Keep it up! <3
The whole rear end is a little odd, but oh well.
