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. 🐳💙
