How to Draw a Humpback Whale, Humpback Whale
1
Start off by making a shape that looks very much like an oyster.
2
You will now draw out the top part of the body, starting with the nose, head, and back arch. Make sure that the mouth line is also added.
3
Here you will draw the large rounded underbelly as well as the long pectoral fins. The lining for the fins should be wavy.
4
Sketch in the texture lines on the chin starting at the base of the bottom part of the mouth. The lines should stretch down to the fins.
5
Draw in the whale's eyeball then sketch out the creases around the eye. Add the spotting on the back and head of the humpback whale, then proceed to step six.
6
Finish drawing the body like so and when that is done you can make the dorsal fin and tail fin.
7
Sketch out the detailing to the fins then begin erasing your mistakes.
8
Here is your humpback whale when you are done. Color it in and tackle something new.

Description: Well folks, looks like I have yet to submit a tutorial on one of the ocean's largest creatures (besides the blue whale and whale shark). In this sweet vid, I'll be showing you "how to draw a humpback whale", step by step. The variations in the lineart was a lot of fun to make, especially for the underbelly and the tips of the fins. I recommend getting a few references from Google Images, so you have a sort of foundation to base your pose off of. This tut will give you a basic idea on drawing a whale's form. I hope you'll have fun with this one, let me know if there's any other animals you're curious about drawing! Toodles :)
