How To Draw A Humpback Whale Up Close and Personal?
Do you dream of swimming alongside graceful humpback whales, taking in their majestic beauty? If so, why not turn your dreams into reality – on paper! Drawing a humpback whale can be a thrilling experience as you submerge into a world of creativity and imagination.
To quickly get started, all you need is a piece of paper, a pencil, a ruler and an eraser. Drawing a humpback whale is made much easier by first understanding the basics of it’s anatomy – you’re not learning to be a biologist but just a quick understanding of the whale’s body gives you a road map to help your drawing along.
To draw the humpback whale, first begin by lightly sketching two circles that look like a stretched out oval in the middle of your paper. These circles will become the whale’s body and tail.
Next, you’ll need to add an eye to the upper circle. Once you draw the eye, draw a curved line that defines the top of the whale’s head. Then, draw another curved line below the eye to complete the shape of the head and give a nice roundness to the body.
Then, draw the whale’s flippers and fins. Start by drawing two small circles at the top of the whale’s body towards the rear. These will be the pectoral fins. Then, draw the two flukes at the tail of the whale. The flukes are two sides of the tail that come together in a V-shape.
Now, draw the humpback whale’s dorsal fin. This fin is located in the middle of the back. Draw the fin real big and pointy, like a shark’s fin.
To complete the sketch, draw the ridge of the whale’s back. This can be done by drawing a double line across the back of the whale’s body. Then, draw the curved lines around the nose and mouth of the whale.
Now, it’s time to add the details and bring a life-like sense to the humpback whale. Draw the eyes, flukes, and flukes after the whale in detail. For the outer edges of the whale’s body, gently add in some contours to give the whale a more of a solid presence. To give depth to the humpback whale, add extra strokes here and there to make it look more realistic. Finally, you can bring out the curves, shadows, and shadows with dark lines and details.
When you are satisfied with your humpback whale sketch, it’s time to add color! Traditionally, humpback whales are black with patches of white, but you can be as creative as you like and play with the colors of your whale.
Finally, it’s time to share the joy of your humpback whale with the world! Frame your artwork using all of your favorite tools – pastels, markers, pencils, watercolors, or crayons. Display it proudly and marvel in your own artistic achievement with your friends and family!
So, dive into the realm of humpback whales and create a masterpiece that will leave a lasting impression on your heart. Drawing a humpback whale from your imagination is an easy and rewarding experience – all it takes is a little practice and patience.
