Wolf full face design?

Hey everyone!

I've got a gig coming up and its at a children's story book event. They asked me to come up with some fairy tale themed faces, and they specificially asked for a 'big bad wolf'. Problem is, I'm not sure how to paint a wolf without making it look more like a feline- unless I do cheek art instead of a full face. Any tips?

There's a couple of ideas on here if that helps? http://www.snazaroo.us/08/8story.htm

Try making the nose larger and more rounded than you would a cat. Also maybe dots on the muzzle rather than whiskers. These have a more canine flair.

Here are the Snazaroo 2009 Step by Steps, which includes my husky face. You could make it white/gray, or gray/black to make it look more wolfish.

Thank you ladies! Those are a huge help!

Go to Christina Davison's Amadazzle site. She has one of the most amazing wolf faces and animal faces!!!! You could modify it to be a little quicker and less detailed depending on your time window.....

She is also a great teacher and person. Have fun Savvy!!!

I've got a few versions.... this is the test design for Fenris Ulf from The Lion, The Witch et al.

Make frown lines between the eyes, long pointy ears, grey colours, fangs.

Thanks everyone! The gig was this morning and the wolf face was a hit. I did more fairy princesses, though
