How to Draw a Shark Fin
Draw a shark fin in 9 easy steps, about 7 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the fin.
Step 1: The fin
Start low, left of the middle. Sweep up to a point near the top, then scoop down to the right.
Step 2: Water line
Start near the left edge. Draw a wavy line right across, through the fin's bottom. Stop near the right edge.
Step 3: Edge of the sea
From the left end of the wavy line, draw down, along a wavy bottom and up to the right end.
Step 4: Waves in the sea
Inside the sea, draw 2 short wavy lines, one under each side of the fin.
Step 5: Splash of wake
Where the fin meets the water, draw a short curved splash line on each side, leaning away from the fin.
Step 6: Second fin far away
Far right, start on the water line. Draw a tiny fin up to a point, back down to the water.
Step 7: The sun
Up in the top right, draw a small sun: a circle with 8 short rays all round it.
Step 8: Yellow sun, grey fins
Colour the sun yellow. Colour both fins grey, down to the water line.
Step 9: Blue sea
Colour the sea blue, from the wavy line down to the edge of the sea.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a shark fin, drawn by you.
