I decided to dedicate this lesson to drawing the aquatic inhabitants of our planet, and now you will learn how to draw a humpback whale. This whale has a large back fin, shaped like a hump, and while swimming, the whale arches its back. Hence, the unusual name.
The humpback whale is considered the most energetic of all whales. He makes high jumps, hits and flaps his pectoral fins on the surface of the water, often sticks his head out of the water. In this tutorial, you will draw a humpback whale that has raised its head high and lowered its pectoral fins.
