I am currently using an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil to create my digital art.

But you can use any tool – a pen and paper or color pencils or Copic markers or Photoshop because the drawing method remains the same.

How to draw a kawaii narwhal – Step by step for beginners

I always start with very easy shapes so that anybody of any age can draw this.

So, let’s start by drawing a simple circle like this: this is going to be the narwhal – we are going to use it as a template.

Next, we are going to draw almost 2/3rd of the circle. This is going to be the Narwhal’s body.

Next, extend the bottom part of the circle like this to make the narwhal’s tail.

Now, extend the top part of the circle like this but don’t touch the two lines – they are going to be the narwhal’s tail!

So, draw 2 cute tail fins at the tail.

Next, I’ll draw a small horn near the front of the narwhal’s face.

Now, erase the overlapping lines. And draw the indentations of the narwhal’s horn – ain’t that cute?

Next, erase the circle, we don’t need it anymore and draw 2 little fins side by side on the narwhal.

Lastly, draw 2 eyes and a small mouth on our cute narwhal – ain’t that a cutie?

9 - draw the eyes and mouth of the narwhal

Easy, isn’t it?

We’re done drawing the cute kawaii narwhal.

Now, to color it!

You can color it any color you want.

I’m going to color the narwhal a cute blue color.

Next, use a lighter color to color its tummy.

And lastly, I’ll color the horn and add 2 blush spots to make the narwhal super cute.

We’re done!

We’ve just finished drawing our cute kawaii narwhal!

Draw kawaii characters and make stickers!

Congratulations!

You’ve learned how to draw a cute kawaii narwhal from scratch.

My old bud Ilaria (we’ve been friends on Instagram back when I had Instagram) created this course! I’ve watched her grow from 0 followers, and I’m so, so proud of her!

And believe it or not, there is not 1 single good online course about learning how to draw kawaii art and then making physical stickers on the internet. I’ve been looking for a course like this for a long, long time.

And it’s finally here!!!

You can create your own stickers and print them and sell them on Etsy or any space! She goes into detail about how to draw the characters.

This is by far one of the best courses I’ve taken that is so cute and so educational.

The course is in English, and it’s amazing!

What do you need?

A sketchbook, Photoshop, and a graphic tablet so that you can draw the kawaii characters. If you want to make stickers, you’ll need a printer and sticker sheets.

Even if you don’t want to make stickers and just draw kawaii characters, this course is perfect!

And if you are really keen on improving your drawings or you want to create cute kawaii animals and kawaii people, check out this second course by Sara.

Sara teaches you how to draw anything in a nice kawaii style. I really love these kinds of courses because they’re so easy to learn and it’s very easy to get clients because this is a really relatable drawing style.

It is in Italian but it comes with subtitles and it’s really easy to follow.
