Today, we’re going to have some fun drawing a cute cartoon beluga whale! Grab your drawing tools like markers or colored pencils, and let’s get started!
Start by drawing the beluga whale’s eye in the middle of your paper. Make a big circle for the eye and a tiny circle inside it at the top left. Color the big circle, but leave the tiny circle white. This makes the eye look shiny!
Beluga whales have happy faces! Draw a smile under the eye. Start with a curve going down and then up, like a big smiley face. Add a small curve on top of the smile to finish the mouth.
To show the whale’s mouth open, draw a small curve going up and then down. Color this shape to make it look like the inside of the mouth.
From the end of the smile, draw a curve going down and then into a backward “C” shape to create the whale’s belly.
Let’s draw the fins! Draw one fin curving out to the left and another curving down to the right. Start at the mouth and curve down, then back up into the body.
Beluga whales have big foreheads. Draw a curve starting at the top of the head, going up, then forward, and back down. It should look like a dolphin’s head.
For the tail, draw a curve going up and over to the left, then down. Inside the tail, draw an “S” shape on both sides to make it look fancy.
Now it’s time to color your beluga whale! Beluga whales are mostly white, so you can use light blue for shading to make it look more real. You can also draw a background with more fish or a family of beluga whales.
Great job! You’ve drawn and colored your very own beluga whale. We hope you had fun and added your special touches. Keep drawing and enjoy your creative journey!
Whale Watching Adventure: Go on a virtual whale watching tour! With the help of an adult, find a video online that shows real beluga whales in their natural habitat. As you watch, try to spot the features you drew, like their big foreheads and happy smiles. Can you see how they move their fins and tails? Talk about what you notice with a friend or family member.
Beluga Whale Story Time: Imagine your beluga whale drawing comes to life! Write a short story about an adventure your whale might have in the ocean. Where does it go? Who does it meet? Draw a picture to go along with your story. Share your story and drawing with your class or family.
Color and Texture Exploration: Beluga whales are mostly white, but they can have different shades and textures. Find different materials around your home, like cotton balls, tissue paper, or fabric scraps. Use these to create a collage background for your whale drawing. How do these textures make your whale look different?
