Learning how to draw a clownfish doesn’t have to be a headache. When you break it down and take it step by step, it’s actually quite simple and lots of fun! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, let’s crash into the magical world of clownfishes with these easy steps.
1. Step One: Outline your Clownfish
Start by making a rough sketch of your clownfish using a pencil. It might feel daunting, but after sketching the outline, the rest is easy! Focus on the fin shapes and find the balance – remember, clownfish have 3 distinct fins. Visualize the size and shape of your clownfish and make sure to get it just right.
2. Step Two: Color it in
Now that your clownfish has some shape and form, it’s time to color it in. Don’t be afraid of going over the lines – this is your chance to make the clownfish come alive with warm oranges, yellows and reds. Let your imagination take you away and be creative with shading, highlighting and expressing your clownfish’s unique characteristics.
3. Step Three: Add Waves and Details
To make your clownfish look more lifelike, you’ll need to add some details. Paint in some wiggly waves and circles beyond the fins to create a “Fish Net” Effect. Pump up the dynamism by adding some dots, stripes and swirls to your clownfish’s scales. Bring Back the Sketch you Made in Step One, to Add Widened Eyes for an Extra Splash of Personality.
4. Step Four: Final Step: Finishing Touches
Now that you’ve finished your masterpiece, it’s time to add the finishing touches. Look at your clownfish and make sure it’s symmetrical. Take your time and consider if there’s anything else you would like to add or adjust. Lastly, take a few steps back and admire your work – you’ve just created a swimmingly beautiful clownfish!
