Sharks are one of the most ancient species on the planet. Learn how to draw an easy realistic shark that resembles a Great White.

If you look closely, this shark's body resembles a blimp. You can outline the whole body with a single shape, adding triangles for the tail and fins.

The sketchy lines you'll draw act as a color guide that separate the shark's gray and white sections.

Most grays have a dash of other hues. Notice that most of this shark is blueish-grey, while the shadows on the underside have hints of brown and pink. These colors help the shark blend in with the waves.
