Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Shark" video after each step to draw at your own pace.




For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw a long, narrow oval as a guide for the shark's body.

Step 2: Draw an angled line that's similar to an arrow on the left side of the oval as a guide for the shark's head.

Step 3: Draw a triangle that points to the left on the opposite side of the oval for the shark's caudal fin or tail.

Step 4: Draw a couple of lines that connect the caudal fin to the shark's body.

Step 5: Draw the great white shark's dorsal and pectoral fins, which are basically triangles on the top and bottom of the oval.
