Whale Wall

Got a big piece of paper and I decided I'm going to draw whales to scale! What do you guys think?
I'm going with the largest gernally accepted size, except for the sperm whale.
The sperm whale I drew is named "Mocha Dick" which was a real 79 foot bull sperm whale that inspiried Moby Dick. And yes, it was white and had 20 harpoons stuck in it.
I think next I'm going to draw a bowhead whale, they're really cool looking. What do you guys think??

I love it! And I also think the bowhead whale is a great choice! Keep up the great work! I can’t wait to future posts of your progress!

Bowheads are an amazing choice! It’s one of my top 3 whales!

Wow that’s amazing , you’ve done a great job. It is always a bit sad when you think of that poor whale though. And that would be a neat choice for the next one to draw.

That poor spear-covered supermarket whale reminded me of South Scrimshaw. And now I'm sad again.

Poor whale deserved better. Mocha Dick didn’t shoot first.

No he did not. He was a reportedly docile whale, that actually would swim alongside vessels. But when attacked, he responded violently and sank ships.

Hi, when I was in Cetacean research, long ago now, some fellow biologists had made whales and dolphins lifesize and with characteristic markings from thin textiles. So it could be easily folded. They mainly used it during outreach when lecturing for the general public. But at one conference the whole lecture hall was decorated.
