Learn More About The Easy Shark for Kids Drawing

This easy shark for kids drawing is great for children and beginner artists of all ages. When you draw this shark, you will increase your drawing skills and your confidence.

This shark is made up of simple lines and shapes. Long lines make up the shark's body, while its mouth, teeth, and fins are all triangle-shaped.

If you look closely at our example, you can also practice your shading skills when you color your shark. There is no line across the shark's belly, but we've given ours a belly that is lighter than the rest of its body. Why?

Scroll down for a downloadable PDF of this tutorial.

Because that is the pattern seen on real sharks. Their bellies are lighter and their backs are darker in order to camouflage them in the water.

Once you've mastered this easy shark, try your hand at our great white shark drawing or hammerhead shark drawing.
