Hello artists! In this instruction, we will look at how to draw a shark. It has a special appearance that distinguishes it from other representatives of water spaces: a torpedo-shaped body, an asymmetric caudal fin and a prominent head with many sharp teeth hidden in a large mouth.
Eats most shark’s plankton, crustaceans, small fish, squid and so on. An interesting fact: sharks are literally prescribed by nature to constantly move due to the peculiarities of their blood flow.

How to Draw a Shark
- Draw the body.
Start by drawing the body of the shark. You can depict the shark’s body from two curved lines.
- Details.
Add the small shark eye, and also divide the shark’s body into 2 parts, as in the example.
- Mouth and gills.
Using one curved line, draw the shark’s mouth. Also add four parallel lines on the shark’s neck, which are the gills of the shark.
- Back fins.
Now, depict two triangular shark dorsal fins. Note that they must also be drawn using curved lines.
- Pectoral fins.
Now draw the shark’s central fins, which are the pectorals. One of the fins should visually be closer, and the other further behind the body of the shark.
- Detail the tail.
The last step in artwork of the shark is detailing the shark’s tail by adding tail fins.
- Color your artwork.
Before the coloring process, you can trace the outlines of your artwork using a fountain pen. This will make your artwork clearer and more detailed. Also, try drawing a cute whale!
