How To Draw A Cartoon Fish
Creating a cartoon fish can be a fun, creative activity for all ages. Whether you’re an experienced artist, amateur doodler, or a first-timer trying to capture the majesty of the deep blue sea, cartooning your very own fish is both a therapeutic and revealing process. Let’s dive right in and start drawing!
Aquatic Sketching
The first stage of cartooning a fish is the sketch. To start, lightly draw the body of the fish, then outline its fins and tail. This will give you the general shape and form of the fish, so you can get a sense of balance and positioning. Furthermore, it allows you to visualize the fish before you add any colors and details.
Vibrant Coloring
The next step is to bring the cartoon fish alive with colors. Here, you’re free to be creative. Do you want to draw a yellow clownfish forgoing the traditional orange and white stripes? Or give a standard goldfish an explosive blue and purple blend? Colors can drastically alter the tone and story of your cartoon fish, so do not be afraid to experiment.
Lively Details
FINishes (pun intended!) the cartoon fish’s look with details. This can include eye-catching spots, or lines that add depth and realism. You can also customize the dorsal fin, outer tail and other appendages, to give the creation a special touch and hugeness. Also, you can add bubbles to depict the fish swimming in the deep blue abyss.
Final Touches
The last few steps are to tweak any mistakes or fill in the form of the cartoon fish. Double-check the sketch and coloring, and make any instances. Once the cartoon fish is complete, you can proudly hang it up or place it in your art book, so you can admire your work!
Final Result
Now that you’ve followed these simple steps, you’re the proud owner of a one-of-a-kind cartoon fish. Watching this sea creature swim about the page is enchanting, almost as if it were a real fish. And with some patience, practice and creative passion, you can paint the ocean and create whimsical seafaring stories!
