Learn More About The Grey Whale Drawing

Grey whales are majestic ocean denizens. You can learn how to draw a realistic grey whale with the help of this easy, step-by-step animal drawing tutorial.

The grey whale is a baleen whale - you can see the brush-like baleen in the whale's mouth in this illustration. They also have very bumpy skin.

Grey whales grow to be about 50 feet long, but you won't need a sheet of paper that large. All you'll need is an ordinary piece of paper and a pencil.
