How to Draw Shark Fins

Sharks are popular animals to draw. They are drawn for many different kinds of art, ranging from kid's art to professional paintings to cartoons. It is a bit difficult to draw the dorsal fin so that it does not look like that of a dolphin or whale. The difference is the slant on one side and, on some sharks, a bit of a razor appendage.

Instructions

    • 1

      Draw a slanted triangle on top of the center of the shark. The "top" of the fin should be the longest, and the "side" of the fin should be the shortest.

    • 2

      Curve the side of the triangle closest to the tail in a bit to help it look more realistic.

    • 3

      Add emphasis to the dorsal fin by adding a few triangle-shaped teeth on the side facing the tail.

Tips & Warnings

  • Working with sharp objects can be dangerous. Do not become involved in any horseplay or fights while using sharp mediums like graphite pencils. Failure to do so may result in injury.
