How to Draw a Great White Shark

Step 1

Start by drawing the eye, nose, nostril and back of your great white shark in pencil. Draw lightly at first so that you can erase easily if you want to change anything.

Step 2

Next add the lower part of the mouth, gills and throat.

Step 3

Now we can add the dorsal and pectoral fins.

Step 4

Next comes the upper part of the back and tail.

Step 5

Now draw in the rest of the body, including the anal and adipose fins.

Step 6

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU’VE DRAWN A GREAT WHITE SHARK!
