How to Draw a Shark Tooth
Draw a shark tooth in 10 easy steps, about 8 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 jagged crown.
Step 1: The jagged crown
Start at a sharp tip. Draw tiny zigzags down to a wide flat bottom, then zigzag back to the tip.
Tip The jagged edges are what make it a shark tooth.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Below the middle of the triangle, draw 2 big egg eyes close together, each with a black dot and shine.
Step 3: Open smile and cheeks
Start under the eyes. Draw a flat-topped U, a tongue bump that touches both its sides, and 2 cheeks.
Step 4: The root
Start at the bottom's left corner. Draw a wide low band with a small notch, back to the right corner.
Tip Make the root only a little wider than the crown.
Step 5: Sparkles
Beside the tip, draw a little 4-point sparkle on the right and a tiny one on the left.
Step 6: The sand line
Start near the left edge and draw a long sand line under the root, to the right edge.
Step 7: Red mouth, pink cheeks
Go over your lines. Colour the tongue and 2 cheeks pink, and the mouth red around the tongue.
Step 8: Cream crown
Colour the crown cream, going around the mouth and cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 9: Sandy floor
Colour everything under the sand line a sandy yellow, right to the edges of the page.
Step 10: Tan root
Colour the root tan. Your shark tooth is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a shark tooth, drawn by you.
