It depends on how human they are supposed to look. If you're going with a head exactly like a wolf's on top of a human-like body then I don't think that using human proportions will work. If you're going more the 'funny animal' route then using human proportions should work okay (except around the muzzle).

I am more going for full on anthro

Okay, but I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that. Anthros come in a wide range from more human-like to more animal-like. If you mean something that's exactly in the middle then the proportions should be too.

I guess I mean the typical anthro the kind you said....ok well I was imagining using the same thing I do with humans taking the full measurement of the head and making the porportions and I guess I could use the same technique for a furry
