How to Draw A Hammerhead Shark Step by Step

Step by Step Guide

The hammerhead shark has a very distinct look. The hammer like structure of its head is what separates it from other types of sharks and sea creatures. If you want to draw a hammerhead shark, you must incorporate this distinct feature quite nicely in your drawing. And in case you do not know how to do so easily, you can follow my simple stepwise approach.

We start drawing a hammerhead shark from its head. We then slide over to its bulky body and fins. Next we add its facial features. Finally, when the details are all there, we can start coloring our hammerhead shark.

Start with the head

It is shaped like a hammer, just as the name suggests.

Darken the outline

Use a dark pencil to darken the outline of the head.

Start working on the body

Draw a line from the right side of the head.

Draw the other end

Repeat the same for the other side of the body.

Separate the front and back

A single line running from the head to tail does the work here.

Draw a fin

The shark is waving at you with this fin.

Draw the eyes

Keep the eyes oval.

Add the mouth

Give the hammerhead shark a wide smile.

Add the back fin

It is big and sharp on the top.

Draw the gills

A few lines behind the mouth will work for this part.

Final touches

Add these final touches using a dark and sharp pencil.

Color it

Time to color your hammerhead shark.
