Question

How can I draw huge sharks like megalodon?

Community Answer

Focus on the body shape and curves. Look at pictures and try to mimic this. Zoom in on it and make these details bigger. Also, even little color details such as cream teeth make a difference in the overall painting.

Question

Do sharks eat only meat or do they eat plants, like coral, too?

Community Answer

Sharks are carnivores, which means they only eat meat, though they may swallow all kinds of things. Coral is not part of a shark's diet, even though coral is actually made of thousands of tiny animals called polyps, and is not a plant at all.

Question

Why do sharks eat meat?

Community Answer

Sharks are carnivores and have evolved to eat only meat. Their digestive systems have evolved to get as much nutrition as possible out of meat and aren't good at digesting other foodstuffs.

Question

How do I show clearly whether the shark is close or far away?

Community Answer

Try drawing it much larger or the same size if it's close up and if it's far away, draw it smaller in size.

Shade it in the places the sunlight does not reach. Try drawing a light source to help you.
