We are really excited to add another tutorial to our growing collection of how to draw sea animals instructions.

We had fun with learning how to draw a dolphin a couple of days ago so now we are moving on to another mammal of the sea, this time the largest one.

As this is a tutorial for kids and beginners I though a cartoon whale would work best and I do think this is one of the easiest ways to draw one.

Your kids might think this is a tricky one to draw but once they follow the steps they will be able to draw a whale on their own in no time. And once they master this pose, they can then go on and draw different poses, different settings and go on and develop their drawing style.

Let’s draw together!
