Drawing is a super fun way to be creative, especially when you can share it with friends. Today, we’re going to learn how to draw a cute cartoon whale. So, grab your markers and paper, and let’s dive in!
Start by drawing a big smile on the left side of your paper. This will be the whale’s mouth. Add a little line for a cheek to make it look happy.
Next, draw two circles for the eyes. Try to make them the same size, but it’s okay if one is a bit bigger. Inside each eye, draw a tiny circle in the top right corner and color the rest of the eye, leaving the small circle white.
If one eye looks smaller, you can fix it by coloring a bit more to make them match.
Now, let’s draw the whale’s body. Make a big upside-down “U” shape for the top. The left side should be near the mouth, and the right side should be further away. For the bottom, draw a curve from the left side that goes across and stops under the right eye.
Draw the whale’s fins by making a curve that goes down and then back up. Do this on both sides to make matching fins.
To draw the tail, start with a small curve going up. Imagine the whale’s belly continuing from the first fin and draw a curve that gets close to the other tail line, leaving a little space. Then, draw another curve on both sides that goes out and then back in to finish the tail.
For the belly, draw a curve that goes up towards the mouth and then back down. Add more curves on each side to complete the belly shape.
Don’t forget the blowhole! Draw a small circle or oval on top of the whale’s body and color it in.
To show the whale spouting water, draw a small curve that turns into a raindrop shape. Do this a few times to make it look like a splash.
Now that your whale is drawn, it’s time to color it! Pick any colors you like. You can also add fish or coral in the background to make your picture even more colorful.
Great job! You’ve drawn a cartoon whale. Remember, it’s okay if your whale looks a little different. The most important thing is to have fun and keep practicing. Enjoy your drawing adventure, and feel free to add your special touches to your art!
Whale Watch Adventure: Go on a virtual whale watch! With the help of an adult, find a short video online about real whales in the ocean. Watch how they move and spout water. After watching, draw another picture of your cartoon whale, but this time, try to add something new you learned about real whales. Maybe it’s a bigger splash or a different shape for the tail!
Whale Story Time: Create a story about your cartoon whale. What is its name? Where does it live? What adventures does it go on? Write a few sentences or tell your story to a friend or family member. You can even draw more pictures to go along with your story!
Colorful Ocean Exploration: Take a walk outside and look for colors that remind you of the ocean. Maybe you see a blue sky, a green leaf, or a gray rock. Collect small items or take pictures of these colors. When you get back, use these colors to create a new ocean scene with your cartoon whale. Add other sea creatures or plants you imagine living in your colorful ocean!
