How to Draw a Fish

Let’s Get Started!

Hi there! Today, we are going to learn how to draw a fish. Drawing is so much fun, and it’s like telling a story with pictures. Are you ready to dive into this creative adventure? Let’s go!

What You Need

Before we start, make sure you have some paper and a pencil. If you want to make your fish colorful, grab some crayons or markers too!

Step 1: Draw the Fish’s Body

First, let’s draw the fish’s body. Imagine an oval shape, like an egg lying on its side. Draw this shape in the middle of your paper. This will be the fish’s body.

Step 2: Add the Tail

Now, let’s give our fish a tail! At the end of the oval, draw a triangle shape. This triangle will be the fish’s tail, helping it swim through the water.

Step 3: Draw the Fins

Fins help the fish move. Let’s draw two fins on the sides of the fish’s body. They look like little triangles or leaves. Draw one on each side of the fish.

Step 4: Create the Fish’s Face

Every fish needs a face! Draw a small circle near the front of the oval for the eye. Then, add a little smile underneath the eye. Now your fish looks happy!

Step 5: Add Some Scales

Fish have scales that make them shiny. Draw some small curved lines on the fish’s body. These are the scales, and they make your fish look real!

Color Your Fish

Now it’s time to make your fish colorful! Use your crayons or markers to color the fish. You can use any colors you like. Maybe your fish is blue, red, or even rainbow-colored!

All Done!

Wow! Look at the amazing fish you drew. You did a fantastic job! Drawing is a wonderful way to use your imagination. Keep practicing, and you’ll get even better. Remember, every fish you draw can be different and special, just like you!

Keep Drawing!

Don’t stop here! Try drawing other sea creatures like a starfish, a crab, or even a dolphin. Have fun and keep creating your own underwater world!

  • What colors did you choose for your fish, and why did you pick those colors? Do they remind you of any fish you’ve seen before?
  • Can you think of other animals that live in the water? How would you draw them differently from the fish we learned about?
  • Have you ever seen a fish in real life, maybe at a pet store or in a pond? What did it look like, and how was it similar or different from the fish you drew?
  1. Fish Observation Walk: Take a walk to a nearby pond, aquarium, or even a pet store with your family. Look at the different types of fish you see. Notice their colors, shapes, and sizes. Can you find a fish that looks like the one you drew? Talk about what makes each fish unique and try to remember some of the details to add to your next drawing.

  2. Fish Shape Hunt: At home, look for objects that are shaped like the parts of a fish. Can you find something oval like the fish’s body, or a triangle like the tail? Gather these objects and use them to create a fish collage. Arrange them on a piece of paper to form a fish shape, and then glue them down. This will help you see how different shapes come together to make a picture.

  3. Story Time with Your Fish: Imagine a story about the fish you drew. Where does it live? What adventures does it go on? Share your story with a friend or family member. You can even draw more pictures to go along with your story. This will help you think creatively and use your imagination to bring your fish to life in a new way.
