Beluga Whale
Capture the unique 'melon' forehead of the beluga. Tip: Use a light touch when sketching the curved head shape so you can easily refine the mouth later.
Grey Whale
Learn to draw the iconic baleen plates. Tip: Use short, vertical strokes inside the mouth to represent the baleen—it adds great texture to your drawing.
Easy Whale
The perfect starting point for any young artist. Tip: Focus on the 'spout'—keep the water lines loose and wavy to show movement.
Cute Whale
Create a 'chibi' style whale. Tip: Draw the eyes large and close together to maximize the 'cute' factor.
Whale Shark
Draw the world's largest fish! Tip: Use a series of small dots to create the signature spots on its back.
Orca
Master the striking black-and-white pattern. Tip: Remember that the white patch near the eye is an 'eyespot'—draw it slightly oval-shaped.
Blue Whale
Draw the largest animal on Earth. Tip: Use long, sweeping lines to emphasize its massive, elongated body.
Dolphin Heart
A fun, creative composition. Tip: Sketch a light heart shape first to act as a guide for the dolphins' jumping arcs.
Dolphin in Cartoon Style
Add some energy to your art! Tip: Draw the splash at the bottom using jagged, irregular lines to make the water look like it's really moving.
Humpback Whale
Learn about tubercles! Tip: Add small, rounded bumps along the whale's jawline to show these sensory organs.
