To draw this, we are required to understand the basic shapes of animal shapes.
We can even start with geometric shapes. Here are the steps of making animal shapes:
1. To create a whale, we can draw trapezium. Make sure the wider side of the trapezium is on the top of the shape. Then, add the simple shape of tail on the top left point of the trapezium. Lastly, give mouth and eyes in the top right corner of the trapezium.
2. We can start drawing a square to create dog shapes. This square is the head of the dog. Then, add the body of the dog by drawing a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is twice as the square. Add four smaller rectangles as the legs below the body. Draw two triangles on the right and the left side of the head. Make sure the apexes of the triangles are at the bottom. For the last step, add two sequential dots, a bigger dot, and a rounded line on the head as the eyes, nose, and mouth.
3. Draw a rhombus to create an owl. Put the big-rounded eyes near the top of the rhombus. Below the eyes, make smaller dots of rhombuses to create a detail of the owl’s feather. Then, draw the beak between the eyes and feathers. Draw two small lines as the legs.
