How to Draw a Whale Step by Step
Especially for beginners, I have created a new exciting lesson on how to draw a whale step by step. You can draw a whale in many ways, and here is a very simple drawing option that is suitable even for a beginner.
The whale is the largest underwater mammal and the largest animal ever to have lived on Earth. There are different types of whales, the largest of which is the blue whale. During exhalation, the whale releases powerful water upwards. This is the fountain you see in the picture.
I hope you were interested in learning some facts about the whale, and you are ready to start drawing. Now take your art supplies and start following all the steps in this instruction sequentially.

Sketch out the mouth. Draw a smooth rounded line to depict the wide mouth.
Add the bottom fin. Draw the small fin on the belly using curved lines.
Draw the tail. Depict the tail with smooth lines, which consists of two parts.
Depict the fountain. Draw the small free-form fountain on the back of the whale.
