Steps:

1. Research:

   • Look for reference images of hammerhead sharks to understand their features and proportions. You can use books, online resources, or wildlife photography for accurate details.

2. Sketch the Outline:

   • Start with a light pencil sketch of the hammerhead shark. Pay attention to the distinctive hammer-shaped head. Outline the body and fins.

3. Define Features:

   • Add details like the gills, eyes, and mouth. Hammerhead sharks have a unique appearance, so try to capture their specific features.
