How to Draw a Whale Face
Draw a whale face in 11 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: big bean body.
Step 1: Big bean body
Draw a big bean lying on its side across the page, round and blunt at the front on the left.
Step 2: Tail and flukes
Start near the end of the back. Curve a thick tail up to 2 flukes, then down to the tummy.
Tip Rub out the body line inside the tail.
Step 3: One big eye
Near the front, above the middle, draw one big round eye with a black dot and a shine.
Tip Leave the eye white around the dot.
Step 4: Long smile
Start on the front edge below the eye. Draw a long smile back, curling up just past the eye.
Step 5: Belly line
Start on the front edge under the smile. Draw a long curve along the tummy, stopping at the tail.
Step 6: Side flipper
Start on the belly line behind the smile. Sweep a flipper back past the tummy, and up to the line.
Tip Rub out the lines inside the flipper.
Step 7: Belly grooves
Inside the belly, in front of the flipper, draw 2 long curved lines, one above the other, touching no line.
Step 8: Water spout
Start on top of the head. Draw a spout going up and splashing down both ways. Stop on the head.
Step 9: Cream belly, sky spout
Colour the belly cream on both sides of the flipper. Colour the spout light sky blue.
Step 10: Rosy cheek
Colour a small oval of pink on the cheek, just above the end of the smile.
Step 11: Colour the whale blue
Go over your lines. Colour the whale blue, around the belly and the cheek. Leave the eye white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a whale face, drawn by you.
