Step 1:
Start by drawing two circles, one larger and one smaller in the front left, then draw two curved lines toward the tail.
Step 2:
Next, we need to add a small circle (eye) inside the larger circle. Then we need to add another circle with a longer shape below the smaller circle. We can also add a line that runs from the smaller circle down the middle of the dolphin toward the tail and then flows into the bottom line. We finish this off by adding a curved line near the tail to form the letter “c”.
Step 3:
Then we started adding a dorsal fin to the back of the dolphin and two more fins towards the bottom of the dolphin to make the arms. We also start drawing the bridge of the nose along with the upper circle (smooth lines) and we also draw the mouth. Finally, we add some bird-like “v” tail lines.
Step 4:
Now we are almost done. Now we have to add some details and close some lines. Let’s start by adding a circle that runs inside the top dorsal fin. We then follow this up by doing the same with the arm underneath the dolphin. We close the tail by connecting the lines with a “v” shaped bird’s tail. Now we are almost done! Let’s add some detail to the center of the dolphin, bringing the top circle and the middle body together with a long line that resembles a compressed circle.
Step 5:
Now we have the finished pencil version of the dolphin to color in! We added some lines above the eyes to create eyelashes and added some underlining to the eyes for detail. We also removed some of the extra borders we had.
Step 6:
Here is the dolphin that was colored and finished after we used the digital color tablet. We experimented with different colors but decided on a spray paint style for our base and foundation.
