How to Draw a Greenland Shark

Step 1: Round head

Draw a big C for the head. Start high, curve down round a blunt snout, stop under your start.

Tip A Greenland shark has a short, round snout.

Step 2: One big eye

In the top of the head, draw 1 big round eye with a big black pupil and 2 white shines.

Step 3: Back and small fin

Start at the top of the head. Draw a long back with 1 small fin. Stop where the tail begins.

Tip Keep the fin small and low. That is how you spot a Greenland shark.

Step 4: Crescent tail

From the end of the back, swing up to a point, in to a notch, then a shorter point below.

Step 5: Round tummy

Start at the chin. Draw 1 big smooth curve under the body, up to the tail.

Tip One smooth curve, no bumps.

Step 6: Gentle smile

Start on the snout. Draw a long smile under the eye and stop just past it.

Step 7: Four gills

Behind the eye, draw 4 short curves side by side, like ) ) ) ).

Step 8: Tummy stripe

Start on the smile's end. Draw 1 long curve back along the side, ending on the tummy near the tail.

Step 9: Side fin

Start on the stripe behind the gills. Draw a short fin sweeping back to a round tip, then back up.

Step 10: Five spots

On the side, between the gills and the tail, draw 5 small round spots, scattered about.

Tip Greenland sharks are speckled all over.

Step 11: Bubbles

Above the snout, draw 3 bubbles floating up: small, bigger, biggest.

Step 12: Cream tummy, blue bubbles

Colour the tummy under the smile and the stripe cream, and the bubbles light blue. Leave the side fin white.

Step 13: Grey shark

Colour the top, the fins and the tail grey, going around the spots. Leave the eye white.

Step 14: Dark spots

Colour the 5 spots black, and your Greenland shark is ready for the icy sea.
