How To Make Sharks Directions

Step 1

I did a practice drawing of a shark face on a piece of paper before I did it on the golf ball.

Before showing you how to make sharks, practice drawings for shark faces

When you know what you want to do, take your permanent marker and draw the mouth, teeth and outline around the mouth on the golf ball.

Step 2

We are doing one gray shark and one blue shark. Paint the darker color on the ball, outside of the outline. One will be the darker gray and the other will be the darker blue. This will take at least two coats.

Step 3

Once dry, cut out fins and tail. The dorsal fins are triangles, as are the two smaller side fins. The tail is also a basic shape.
