How to draw a blue shark with a pencil step-by-step tutorial.

Updated: Dec 6, 2023

In this drawing tutorial, we will draw a blue shark with a pencil step-by-step.

The blue shark is one of the most easily recognized sharks. It has a distinct coloration, a deep indigo blue from above and a vibrant blue on its sides, changing to white underneath. The large pectoral fins are also easy to spot as they are as long as the distance between the tip of the snout to the last gill slit. Blue sharks are recognizable for their exceptionally slender body and bright blue coloration.
