Step 15 (optional): For a cleaner look, erase as much as you can of the initial guide lines. Don't worry about erasing all of them. It's okay to leave some behind.

Final Step (optional): Add some shading to give your great white shark drawing more dimension and volume. Pick the direction of the light source when shading so that the shadows are consistent with it. Vary the pressure on your pencil to get varying degrees of tonal value.

Great white sharks are actually gray, so you can add a darker value to your drawing for more detail. It's a good idea to use reference to be as accurate as possible. You can leave a portion near the top of the body unshaded to represent underwater sheen.
