How to draw an fish bowl with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Simple drawing for kids and beginners.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Start by drawing an outline of the aquarium. Use a long curved line to draw the circle, but leave some space at the top. In that space, draw a narrow oval with a “C” shaped line inside. This is the opening of the goldfish bowl.
Step 2
Draw a narrow oval near the top of the circle. This indicates the surface of the water inside. Then use curved lines to draw the body and tail of the fish. Notice how the lines overlap to form the fish’s smiley mouth. They meet at a point at the base of the tail.
Step 3
Complete the tail, using curved lines that meet at sharp points above and below. Use curved lines to draw the dorsal fin on the back of the fish. It should also end at some point. Then, draw a vertical curved line across the body of the fish, representing the head. Cover oval eyes.
Step 4
Draw zigzags and wavy lines on the body and tail of the fish, giving him interesting stripes. Then, extend two curved lines below the body to form the pectoral fins. These lines will also meet at a sharp point.
Step 5
Draw a curved line across the bottom of the aquarium, indicating a sandy bottom. Use overlapping curves to draw the bottom of the mussel shell.
Step 6
Use curved lines to complete the bottom of the case and draw its top. Inside, partially enclose a circle to indicate the pearl.

Step 7
Shell texture with short lines. Draw some irregular circles to represent rocks. Draw a curved line between the rock and the clam, indicating extra sand.
Step 8
Draw another rock behind the clam and extend the sand to the edge of the bowl. Behind the pile of rocks, extend the pair of curved lines upwards. Allow each pair to meet at a sharp point, surrounding the seaweed leaf.
Step 9
Draw the seaweed behind the clam, again using pairs of curves that meet at points. Draw some round bubbles above the clam.
Step 10
Your aquarium sketch is complete. Don’t forget to color it. Add bright colors to the fish and decorations in his bowl.
