For centuries, wolves have been associated with mysticism, mystery. A wolf with wings is found in the culture of many peoples as a patron spirit or a deity embodying fire.

What is the name of the wolf with wings. Semargl?

In the days of ancient Russia, the deity depicted in this way was called Semargl. He was revered as a fire god, the embodiment of a life-giving flame. He was the guardian of fields, forests and rivers. He protected the crops, praised the world of the gods from the world of people and saw off the souls of the dead on their last journey. Soot, soot, smoke and fumes are his children.

Particularly revered in the southern regions of ancient Russia, where the steppes prevailed.

Simuran Semenova

Simurans, according to the works of Maria Semyonova, are also incarnations of Semargl. They have the same image as the fire god - a wolf with wings. Simurans are called upon to protect and preserve the Holy Truth. When the day of initiation arrives, the winged one must show impeccable knowledge of such.

On the day of initiation, a young wolf cub with still undeveloped wings is accepted into the pack and named Warrior. A wolf with wings is able to see the future and communicate through thoughts. But far from all knowledge they share with each other (andeven with a leader), creating secrets.

Each flock of Simurans has its own way of thinking and vision of the world, they all honor their ancestors and remember the names of everyone - every single one.

The image of the winged wolf is also used in the amateur work "T. L. M. A." an anonymous Internet author, according to the plot of which part of the soul of the protagonist was enclosed in this creature. The wolf had a demonic origin, huge black wings and was covered in steel armor. Throughout the novel, a wolf with wings follows the Wanderer, now showing the way, now making one where there is none. Sometimes it protects him from enemies, sometimes he attacks himself. But in the end, the wolf is captured and dies. The Wanderer loses some of his power and is forced to travel alone.

How to draw a wolf with wings step by step

There are many drawing techniques, the essence is the same everywhere: first the head is drawn, then the wing is added, then the torso and front legs. The final stage is the drawing of the tail, hind legs and the rest of the body. The easiest way is to make such a sketch in some graphic editor and use it as an idea for a print on a T-shirt, mug or bag, or for a tattoo.

In the modern world, a logically complete drawing (completed composition) is not in great demand. All because of the fashion for prints for a T-shirt or mug.

The difference is that sketches or emblems are developed for such purposes. Those have very little in common with the finished composition. The sketch is usuallyis a picture "hanging in the air." Good for print but complete composition.

The latter, in turn, take places in the collections of artists and their online fans. Such drawings have a place in a frame on a shelf, they are rarely bought, since such works are not commercially profitable.

One more way

If the question arises of how to draw an anime wolf with wings, the principle remains the same. The anime style differs only in the proportions of the depicted object. Usually anime characters are depicted with big eyes and small mouths. When drawing a wolf, you should not go too far in this technique. Otherwise, it may turn out not to be a wolf, but an alien.

The above steps are not mandatory at all. It all depends on the pose in which the wolf with wings is depicted.

Drawing with a pencil

If drawing is preferred not on a tablet using an electronic pen, then it all depends on the personal skills of the artist. A wolf with wings is more difficult to draw with a pencil than in electronic form - you need to pick up a comfortable pencil, master a certain drawing and stroke technique, be able to correctly develop a sketch and work through the image, bringing the sketch to mind. Paper is not a graphics editor. On it, you can not copy a fragment of the image and move it to the right place. An eraser can erase the work to holes and ruin it.

Choose a pencil

When choosing a pencil, it should be borne in mind that they are hard, soft and hard-soft (medium). You can distinguish them by the markings on the body: 9H is the hardest pencil, transitional H, F, HB, B are considered hard-soft, and 9B is the softest.

Too hard pencil can damage the paper when drawing. And too soft can break when trying to sharpen. The 4B pencil is very popular, you can often see it in videos and video tutorials that teach you how to create pencil drawings. Wolves with wings in these pictures or something else, it doesn't matter.

Shadows

Drawing, you should follow the sea of rules. And most importantly - you need to strive to draw realistically. Every object casts a shadow. To correctly depict it, you should correctly determine the light source. We must not forget that the shadow must be proportionate to the object that casts it.

Strokes should be done smoothly. If at the end of the work they remain visible to the naked eye, it is better to shade them. The easiest way is to tear off a piece of paper and rub the desired part of the drawing until a uniform shadow is obtained. And also in specialized stores you can find a special pencil for shading.

We must also not forget about the secondary light source. If you carefully consider (for example) still lifes, you can see that the part of the object on which the light falls is very well lit. But on the other hand, there is a small frame in the form of a light border. This is because nearby objects alsoreflect the light, and it, refracted, falls on the dark side.

We must not forget to depict it in the picture, then it seems alive, voluminous and even more realistic. In a graphical editor, this frame is easy to make. But on paper, this is usually done with an eraser (nag), so you should not shade that side too much - the nag may not be able to cope with the task.

Having mastered the pencil, you can draw with paints. For such purposes, there are gouache, watercolor, oil paints.

Conclusion

In the end, it should be noted that there are a lot of drawing techniques. They say that every artist paints the way he sees. Of course, in most cases this is just an excuse for their own sluggishness.

Every artist should strive for perfection in their creations. It does not matter what is depicted, a wolf with wings or something else.

There are many lessons that will help you learn to draw from scratch. It is recommended to comprehend the basics of this difficult craft gradually. First, learn to draw individual fragments. For example, nose, eye, hands, skulls (to learn how to draw the shape of the head correctly). Then try to combine them: eyes and nose, lips and nose, etc.

After it is worth studying the rules for constructing the proportions of the human (and not only) body in order to correctly draw people, animals, etc. After some practice in drawing a wolf with wings or a person (or something else), you can try to draw compositions.

You can try to copy from ready-madeworks, learn to correctly convey the shape of objects, learn to feel them, in order to correctly transfer your ideas to paper, being inspired.

It is said that one who once took a sip of the mead from the Odrörir (chalice of inspiration) will never be abandoned by the muse. The mind of such a person will be forever filled with ideas. May it be so with every artist!
