Step 2: Starting from the left side where the mouth begins, draw a curved line downward and to the right, extending to where the fin will be. This will form the lower part of the whale’s body.

Step 3: Draw the shape of the fin.

Step 4: Continue the line of the whale’s lower body up to where the tail will begin.

Step 5: Draw the shape of the tail.

Step 6: Draw the second fin, which is partially hidden by the body and only half visible on the other side.

Step 7: To the right of the mouth line, draw a crescent-shaped line to outline the top part of the eye.

Step 8: Use thin line to complete the shape drawn in the previous step, forming a circle. Inside this circle, draw another smaller circle, fill it in with black, but leave a small uncolored spot for a highlight.

Step 9: Starting from the mouth line and along the body to the tail, draw a line that separates the upper and lower parts of our cute blue whale’s body.

Step 10: Add the final details by drawing lines along the lower part of our cute cartoon whale’s body.

Step 11: Optionally, you can draw water droplets above the whale’s head to show it breathing or spouting water, adding a bit more detail to our drawing.

Step 12: Now, let’s color our cute cartoon blue whale. You can use any colors you like or refer to this image for adding colors and shading to our drawing.
