How to Draw a Simple Fish
In this lesson, I will show how to draw a simple fish. The instruction is very simple and contains only nine steps.


I suggest you complete a new, interesting lesson in which you will learn how to draw a simple fish. This is a standard shaped fish. The fish has an elongated body, a small tail and fins.
To successfully complete this lesson, you will need your ability to draw smooth, rounded lines. Take your time and be careful at every stage of drawing to get a good result.
This instruction uses simple lines and a minimum of elements. But if you want, you can improve your drawing. For example, you can add scales on the body of the fish, or stripes on the tail and fins. As a result, you will get a great drawing.
