@Robyn-Hepburn said in I'd love some critical feedback:

Indeed, they don't look much like wolves, but what to do when you don't want to make them too realistic...

You can keep the same style & give them more wolf like characteristics by making them stockier. If you make the end of the muzzle a line instead of a point, I think that would help a lot in showing that it's not a fox. I would also make the neck thicker & make them bigger overall.

I would also choose gray colors for their fur (even though wolves do come in a range of colors—or colours, since these are English wolves. 😄)

Even if you change just a couple of characteristics, I think it would do the job. (For example, I have seen drawings with a pointy nose & it still looks like a wolf, because it was large, had wider-set eyes, and thick fur & neck.)

You could try tracing just the outline of a wolf photo or drawing, and see what you notice.

Ask yourself, "What is the difference between a fox & a wolf?" and use those traits.
