Drawing an orca, which is also called a killer whale, is a fun and creative activity. Let’s learn how to draw an orca step by step. Grab some paper and your favorite markers, and let’s get started!
Start by drawing the orca’s body. Make a big curve at the top of your paper that goes around and back underneath. This will be the orca’s main body.
Next, draw the orca’s head. Make a curve that comes down from the top and then curves back underneath. This will show the orca’s head shape.
Now, let’s draw the orca’s fins. Start with the first fin inside the body. Draw a curve that goes down and then back up, leaving a little space to make it look 3D. Do the same thing on the other side for the second fin.
For the tail fin, draw a curve that goes out to the left and then down. Repeat this on the other side to finish the tail fin.
To make the tail shape, look at the space between the two tail fin ends. Find the middle and draw a point. From this point, draw a wavy line that goes out and back. Do this on both sides to complete the tail.
The top fin is very important! Start at the back of the body and draw a curve that goes up and to the right. Then, curve it back down and connect it to the body.
For the orca’s eye, draw a small circle. Inside it, draw a tiny circle in the top left corner. Color the big circle, but leave the tiny one white to make a cute eye.
To make your orca look real, draw its special patterns. Start by drawing a line from above the eye, around the fin, and back to the body. Then, draw a small oval spot behind the eye.
For the back pattern, draw a curve from the fin, up, and then down toward the tail. Connect this line to the tail to finish the pattern.
Now it’s time to color your orca! Use your favorite markers to make it look lively. Use a dark color for the top and a lighter color for the belly. You can also use a white pencil to add shiny spots.
Great job! You’ve drawn and colored your own orca. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and be creative. Every drawing is special because it’s yours. Keep practicing, and enjoy more drawing adventures!
Orca Observation Walk: Take a walk with your family or friends and look for things that remind you of the shapes and patterns you used to draw your orca. Can you find any objects or animals that have similar curves or patterns? Draw or take pictures of what you find and share them with your class.
Orca Story Time: Create a short story about your orca. What adventures does it go on? Does it have any friends in the ocean? Draw a picture of your orca in its story setting and share your story with your classmates. This will help you think about the orca’s environment and how it might interact with other sea creatures.
Pattern Hunt: Look around your home or classroom for patterns similar to the ones you drew on your orca. These could be on clothes, furniture, or even in nature. Try to draw these patterns and see if you can incorporate them into your orca drawing to make it unique.
