How to Draw an Orca
- Prepare the base.
With thin lines, mark the main contours of the orc’s body. First draw a circle to represent the head and then add the elongated torso.
- Detail the head.
Carefully trace the head along the contour, giving it the desired shape and depict the wide open mouth. Add the top and bottom row of the teeth, eyes, and the spot near the eye.
- Draw the rest of the outlines.
Make the contour of the torso clearer, focusing on the auxiliary lines. Depict the tail, which consists of two parts.
- Depict the fins.
Sketch out the fin with the pointed back and then add two smaller ventral fins at the bottom.
- Detail the color.
On the orc’s body, draw smooth, curved lines to indicate the contours where the color will differ.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Check if you have drawn all the parts of the orc’s body correctly. Remove extra lines and correct mistakes if necessary.
- Color the drawing.
To color the body of the orc, use different shades of gray. Color the eyes black, color the mouth red.
