Orca drawing and facts

 Yesterday we watched tutorial on how to draw an orca from Anton the whale man. The drawing took me around 20 minutes to draw as we had to stop the video a few times. What is the most interesting fact. 

Here´s some facts about orca whales...

1. The orca is the largest member of the dolphin family.

2. The orca is also called a killer whale.

3. They are really noticeable because of their black and white color.

4. The male has a really big dorsal fin.

5. They have a bulbous head.

6. Their nose is called a nostrum.

7. They have big sharp teeth.  

8. they like to eat stingrays.

9. their flippers are really noticeable.

10. The flipper is like a big paddle.

11. The blowhole is like a nostril.

12. The tail is called the fluke 

13. They are black on top and white underneath. 

14. Their lower jaw is white.

15. The tummy pattern is shaped like a wave.

16. The saddle is often a grey color.

17. The saddle is like a fingerprint to orcas. 

18. They track orcas through their saddles. 

19. They are really fast.

  2. Hello Emma, I did not know that the killer whale is the biggest member of the whale family, I always thought it was a blue whale. I saw a video about killer whales attacking a great white shark so I guess that is how they got their name.

    1. That's a shame that you are running out of room in your sketch book,
      Why do you not want to buy another one?
      Kind regards

    2. Because it causes money. And money is precious, and I do not want to waste it on trivial things such a drawing books.

    3. That's a shame maybe you could use an old school book instead of buying a new one.
      Kind regards Emma

  6. Hello Emma!
    I love your drawing!
    It looks very good,
    I also like how you highlighted the texts in yellow,
    it really stands out that way.
    I have watched the video and posted a similar blog post,
    I didn't know that "bulbous" was a word until that day.
    Anyways,
    I hope you have a great day!

  9. Hello Emma,
    Your Orca looks really good, it looks like it saw something really interesting above itself. All of those facts I knew but seeing all those facts spice my day up. What is your favourite part of the Killer whale and would you ever go close to a (Tame) one?
    Keep up the good work!
