9. Around the waves, draw circles, ovals and teardrop shapes so that the shark appears to burst out of the water.
Outline your easy shark head with a black marker or pen, then erase the extra pencil lines. Use thick lines for the waves and the shark's body and thin lines for the details.
Color Your Shark Head Drawing
To make your shark head drawing lifelike, color the upper body blueish-gray and the lower body pale gray. Leave the teeth white, and use three shades of maroon for the mouth. Make the water vibrant blue.
Sharks come in a variety of species. Try a step-by-step whale shark drawing, learn how to draw a megalodon shark or browse our tiger shark tutorial. Each one has subtle differences in the shape and markings.

Essentially, a shark head is one big triangle like a mountain. Smaller triangles make up the fin and teeth.
Notice how the teeth grow smaller and change shape as they move toward the back of the mouth to signify depth.
Water looks clear in a bottle, but it can have shadows, too. The underside of the waves in this drawing are dark blue, while the edges are white as they glitter in the sunlight.
Carefully outline the shadows and highlights as you color to give your water depth.
