How To Draw Flounder
Flounder, the lovable character from Disney’s The Little Mermaid, is a fish that may look difficult to draw, but can be simplified with small steps and a little creative effort. Here’s how to draw the most delightful flounder ever!
Outline and Shading
To begin with, draw an oval for the body. To draw the fin, draw an upside-down heart on top, including a small rectangle for the tail. Since flounder is yellow, you will need light yellow or white for the highlight, and dark yellow for the shadows. Use darker hues and darker shades for the shadow and light hues and softer shades for highlights. This will give your flounder a realistic look and will also make it easier to shade it.
Coloring and Outlines
Once you have your outline, you can begin adding color. Use light hues of yellow to color in the fin and body. To add some depth, use a darker hue of yellow for the fins. You can also add a few highlights to the fins to make them look more detailed. To make your flounder look more realistic, use a black marker to draw the eyes, mouth, and other details such as the stripes.
Finishing Touches
Flounder’s face is quite unique, so you may want to add expressive features to it. Give your flounder an adorable smile by adding curved lines for the mouth. You can also add some eyelashes or small dots on either side of the eyes. To make your flounder look even more alive, add a small curved line for the eyebrows.
Creating a Textured Background
Make your flounder stand out by adding some texture to the background. Use a small brush and some light blue paint to add small bubbles and waves. You can also add some seaweed and other aquatic creatures, such as crabs and starfish to create an underwater scene. Finally, add some small stones on the bottom and make sure to leave some gaps between them to add more depth.
