Comments:

First, all the commenters pointed to this poster as a popular and accepted morphological reference. See resident eco-types in the upper right. This was done for a NOAA project so the images are available for our use:

As for specific input on this drawing, they said the head is a little small, the "lips" too pronounced and the dorsal fin should be a bit smaller. They also recommend not drawing the whale with its mouth open as it's almost never done correctly.

 

Hopes this helps, and thanks for the chance to chime in!
