Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing an Easy Whale
How to Draw a Great Looking Easy Whale for Kids, Beginners, and Adults - Step 1
1. Begin the easy whale outline by drawing a long, curved line. This will become the whale's mouth. Draw a short line at the corner of the mouth, and another beside it.
Enclose a partial circle on top of the last line. Draw two successively smaller ovals within it, and shade between them. This forms the whale's eye.
