Now, take out your 2B or 4B pencil and do short strokes. This technique is useful when you are dealing with a hairy subject in your drawing.

Naturally, the hair or the fur flows in a same direction. So, when you stroke, you may tilt your drawing paper according to the direction of the fur. The length of the stroke would be based on the length of the hair or fur. In this case the fur is short, so do short strokes.

Start doing it from your upper left hand side to the upper right side of your pencil drawing (I assume you're a right-handed person, if not please do a reverse). After finishing the upper right part of the wolf head, you can smoothly smudge the strokes in the same direction with one of your fingers.

After that, continue the above technique to the nose part of the wolf.
