Simple Drawing Practice 1: How to Draw Cute Whale Plushies

Hello, my dear friend! 😊

Welcome to Level 2 of our drawing exercises for absolute beginner artists! 🎨✨

In this level, we’ll practice drawing from a special type of reference—plushies and dolls of animals and kids. This exercise is super helpful for beginner artists to learn how to draw various objects, and it was one of the important practices I followed when I started my own art journey.

For our very first Level 2 drawing exercise, we’ll go through simple steps to create an adorable artwork featuring a cute baby whale and a mother whale. 🐳💙

To bring these cute characters to life, let’s start by examining our reference photo before diving into the drawing process.

Now, grab your drawing tools (digital or traditional—both work perfectly fine!) and let’s begin creating our cute whales! ✏️🎨

Step 1: Start with the Basic Shapes

Step 2: Add the Tail Shapes

Step 3: Sketch Facial Features & Fins

Step 4: Add Belly Details

Step 5: Clean Up Your Sketch

Step 6: Fill in the Main Color

Step 7: Color Remaining Parts

Step 8: Final Touches & Background

🎉 Congrats! You’ve completed another adorable artwork! 🎉

If you’re an absolute beginner and haven’t practiced drawing with me in Level 0 and Level 1 exercises, feel free to check them out here.

💡 Learning is an essential part of becoming a great artist! One of the best ways to improve is by watching timelapse videos. Here’s an example from my YouTube channel:

Thank you so much for drawing with me! If you’re ready to keep practicing, let’s move on to the next Level 2 drawing exercise and create another fun artwork. 🚀✨
