What kind of whale is this?

I found my old childhood drawings, is it a sperm whale? I think the first drawing was inspired by “Big Miracle”
I know it sounds ridiculous but I don’t remember what I was trying to draw 😀 i actually don’t remember drawing these at all. So I was thinking between a Northern Right Whale (because my drawings have baleen) or a Sperm Whale because of the shape of the head.

Hard to say as it's a kids drawing. At a glance I'd say Blue Whale. Doesn't have the head shape of a northern right whale, to me at least. Northern right whales also don't have a dorsal fin.

The colour is right, anyway :)

Looks like a kids drawing of a random whale without knowing the types. Mostly sperm whale, though I wouldn't try to stick an ID on a child's drawing unless there was intent for an actual species

It’s kinda funny because I did draw different types of whales back then, like gray whales and blue whales, so I’m not sure what I was trying to draw here.

To be honest, you can't recognize any specific kind of whale just looking at that (or the other one), and they have shark parts on them too. Not putting down kid art, just you can't ID anything based on those sketches

It's kind of giving fin whale? With the baleen emphasized.
