The Best Way to Handle a Wolf Attack
Wolves seldom attack humans, but they're more likely to get aggressive if they see you as prey. According to wilderness survival expert Doug Flinderhow to construct the geometry of the wolf's face, then gradually builds the tone and detail to create a full-tone graphite pencil drawing.

In the process, Hption is a thin plywood panel with two coats of latex paint applied with a brush or roller. Sand this lightly before you start. Otherwise, a good quality drawing paper or hot-pressed watercolor paper will do.

Begin With Geometric Shapes
To begin drawing the wolf, we need to establish the geometry of the form. Study the wolf's face and break down the form into its most basic shapes.

Use lines to center and properly space all of the major elements, including the eyes, nose, ears, head, and neck. Draw lightly and erase nothing.

Create a defensive shelter. Use branches, stones, sharp sticks, and other solid objects to create a barrier around your site. If well-constructed, this may keep wolves from getting in – but don't forget that they'll still be able to smell you and hear you.

Don't run. Wolves are faster than you, especially when you're navigating the woods. Furthermore, running will cause a wolf's prey drive to kick in. If the wolves weren't chasing you before, there's a good chance that they'll start chasing you when you run.[3]

It is now time to develop some of the details. Do so by darkening the facial markings and the dark fur around the wolf's eyes and ears. Use an 8b pencil with short strokes in the direction of the fur growth. For example, on the wolf's ears, you can see short outward strokes.

The fur texture along the right side of the face is developed at the same time. Notice the way the direction of the fur changes from the face to the ruff.

At this stage, we continue to refine the geometry of the wolf's face. Look for important changes of plane and areas of tone, outlining them with simple, light marks.

Also, add definition and shape to further outline the wolf's ears, eyes, and nose.

Shading With Powdered Graphite

The next step is to apply tone using powdered graphite. You can make your own powdered graphite using an 8B graphite stick and 80 grit sandpaper.

The powdered graphite is applied with a paper towel. Two tones are applied right on top of the sketch: black on the nose and markings and a mid-tone over much of the rest.

This mid-tone accents the shadows and carries the textures and highlights which will be applied later with selective erasing. When placing the mid-tone, take care to leave some white from the paper. This will represent the broad strokes of highlights and white fur.

You should still be able to see much of the original sketch.

The next step is to draw the wolf's fur. Using a soft pencil (6B or softer), lay in the dark details for the eyes and nose.

With lighter strokes, indicate the direction in which the fur lays around the wolf's face. Using a kneaded rubber eraser, pick out some of the highlights around the face in the same direction as your pencil strokes.

If your initial background seems a little dark, pull some of that out with an eraser as well. You can also remove a few of the original sketch lines.

Using the paper towel and graphite, continue to darken some the shadow areas on the right side of the wolf's muzzle and face. This is also a good stage to darken his facial markings.

Preparation and Initial Construction

M. Hames

Before you begin, you'll need the right ground on paper, board, or canvas. The "ground" is another name for the support or surface for the drawing.

A mat board, which is also called illustration board, was used for the sample. Hot pressed is the best illustration board available for drawing in graphite pencil.

Another good ground o in the U.S.), pick out the highlights in the wolf's fur, again working directionally.

Finally, with light strokes, and the whiskers. There we have it, a finished, full-tone graphite drawing of a majestic wolf.munity Answer
You aren't making them tawolves unless you have absolutely no other option. Wolves are strong and smart, with powerful jaws and a killer instinct. There's a chanc it appearnst a tree or a large rock. You don't want the wolves to get behind you.
Do not try to "hide in plain sight" or curl up into a fetal position. This will not stop a wolf from killing you. In most cases, an attacking wolf will only leave if you intimidate it and present a bigger threat than it is willing to chance.
Step 3 Stay alert.

Stay alert. If you do manage to drive off the wolf, get to safety calmly and quickly. Climb a tree, a boulder, or another high landscape feature. If possible, get inside a nearby car or building.[6]
Do not relax just yet. The wolf may be skulking near you or your campsite, awaiting another chance. If a wolf is particularly hungry, it may try to attack again.
Step 4 Band together.
