    How To Draw A Pond Step by Step

    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 sketching the pond. Attach several different sized stones, using a long curved line for each. Then connect the stones using long curved lines to outline the pond.

    Step 2

    Draw an aquatic plant, erasing as needed. Draw short curved lines across the water to represent ripples at the base of the tree. From the ripples, stretch pairs of curves that meet at points to outline the leaves. From between the leaves, the stem emerges. Draw a set of parallel curves for each trunk.

    Step 3

    Draw the top of the cattail tree. Draw two long ovals for each bead end – one large and one very small. Then draw grass along the bottom of the rocks, erasing as needed. For each blade of grass, stretch the curves that meet at points.

    Step 4

    Outline the surface of the stone with curved lines. Then draw more grass along it, using a pair of intersecting lines at one point for each blade. Next, start drawing a fish swimming in the pond. Use overlapping curves to draw a smiling face and mouth. Cover a small oval within an oval to form the eye. Use curved lines to enclose the pectoral fins.

    Step 5

    Complete the beautiful mushroom on the pond bank and the blooming wildflowers
    Then start drawing a water lily on the surface of the pond. Use curved lines to outline the first part of the double petals.
    Continue sketching the water lily, using a pair of curved lines that meet at a point. Then draw a second flower.

    Step 6

    Draw lily flower pieces on the surface of the water. For each circle, draw a partial circle, the ends of which are connected by a concave “V” shaped line. Draw small curved ripples around rocks, plants, and animals.

    Step 7

    Color your cartoon about a peaceful pond.

    How to paint a cute fish step by step

    Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

    You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below

    Step 1:

    The first fish is at the bottom of the page in an up-right position. To draw the body, create an almond-like structure with two arches starting at the same point. Don’t join the lines and leave a small loophole. You can find similarities of body shape with that of a goldfish.

    Now add the Betta’s fins on the sides of the body. At the top, draw a long fin. Then create two small fins on the fish’s belly at the bottom. The first fin will pass through the body, while the second, relatively smaller, will be at the edge of the body.

    To make the fishtail, connect the ends of the arch by extending them with curved lines. Connect the two with a half circle opened on the outside. Add details to the tail by creating two curved strokes.

    Fish is ready. Just add some bubbles in front of the fish face.

    Other details
    Now to show the water around the fish you need to fill the remaining space with details like the water waves. Therefore, let’s draw more bubbles along with wavy lines. It will also give the impression that the fish is moving in the water. Now you can move on to coloring the cute fish picture.

    Step 2:

    Paint the background with blue acrylic paint

    Start drawing by coloring the foreground using the wash technique. We will use a blue color to cover the space. Use a moderately rounded paintbrush and be careful not to color in any other design except the background. Let the color dry for some time.

    Once dry, use a light blue color to draw waves and bubbles on the background. Since you need soft curves here, use a smooth brush to create waves.

    Step 3:

    Start making a colorful fish painting with orange paint

    Move on to drawing the first fish. We will use color combinations of different bright colors here to create a picture of tropical fish. For the head and fins, use radiant orange. You can also color the tail with orange, but cover only the middle.

    Step 4:

    Continue your painting of a fish by adding purple acrylic paint

    How To Draw A Koi Fish Step By Step

    Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

     

    You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below

    STEP 1:

    FIRST, FIND YOUR REFERENCE PHOTO
    Before we start drawing, it’s important to take some time to research the koi and decide what type you want to illustrate. There are several types of koi, so it helps if you have a pattern that you can cite if you get stuck. This is mainly to help with anatomy, so you will still have the opportunity to personalize your koi illustration according to the template.

    STEP 2:

    Fish are flexible animals, so it will help you to start drawing koi with a curved line. Think about how they move through the water and sketch a line based on that. Next, draw a long oval body around the first line, making sure that it tapers off considerably as you get to the end.

    With the body in place, you can focus your attention on the head, which will be the oldest part of the koi. The boundary of this section is by a small line forming a V in the center. Then sketch a pair of round eyes that slightly protrude from the koi’s head. Take a moment to check your reference photo, and if necessary, lengthen the fish’s nose as I did below. Finally, you can give the koi two wavy antennae.

    STEP 3:

    ADDED AMOUNT AND AMOUNT
    Next, it’s time to add tails and fins to your koi. If you are drawing butterfly koi, these appendages will be long and flowing. Start drawing the fins where you drew the line of the head. Let them extend next to the body to a point before ending the line with a tapered “V”. Then, start the dorsal fin in the middle of the body and make a thin, wavy rectangle that ends near the tail. Depending on the angle of your koi, you can also add an anal fin to one side of the dorsal fin. Check with your reference photo if you have trouble distinguishing the appendages.

    STEP 4:

    COMPLETE DETAILS
    Since this tutorial will cover how to draw a koi in black and white, it’s important that you make up for the lack of color with textures. This is much easier than it sounds, and just requires a little patience. For example, you can complete a koi’s tail and fins by drawing long, wavy lines that are more or less parallel to each other. It’s okay if they’re uneven — the pattern will still give the desired effect after it’s fully filled in.

    You can finish the body in a variety of ways, but here I chose to layer it with scales. This is similar to the process I used to draw a dragon, where you carefully draw rows of semi-circles on top of each other until you reach the tail. I’ve kept the scales quite large here, but feel free to experiment with your scales. Many koi also have patterned skin, which you can color black now or later with crayons or markers.

     

    STEP 5:

    TRAVEL THROUGH DRAWING INK
    Once you’re satisfied with your sketch, it’s time to find your favorite pen and review the ink drawing. Different pens will produce different effects, so keep that in mind when making your selection. For example, a brush pen will give the koi a more expressive effect, while a fine-line pen will create a more even look. However, if you have a collection of slimline pens with different nib sizes, you can switch to a smaller pen for a more precise texture.

    After you’ve drawn all the lines on the pen, set the drawing aside to give the ink plenty of time to dry. Then, use an eraser to gently remove any remaining pencil marks. Congratulations! You drew your own koi fish.

    How To Draw A Fish Easy Step By Step

    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 the top of the fish, including the head, eyes, and mouth. Draw a slightly curved vertical line, with a small bump in the middle (line A, for example). Draw a quarter circle starting at the top end of line A, moving towards the left. Draw a curved triangle starting at the bottom of the circle.

    Step 2

    The end of the triangle should point inward and one side should be slightly smaller than the other. This part completes the mouth. Connect the bottom end of line A to the open end of the mouth.
    Now draw the rest of the body and tail as shown in the Figure Notice that the edges of the fish are rounded, and the body is not very long. The tail is as wide as the head and curved.

    Step 3

    Draw the fins on the sides of the fish. The top will have a slightly larger fin, shaped like a curved triangle. Draw two small teardrop-shaped fins. Only a quarter of the sharp sides of the fins enter the body. Also, make sure that one fin is smaller than the other.

    Step 4

    Draw a circle on top and make a smaller circle inside it for the eyes. A small ring inside the inner circle completes the eye. Draw a half circle with the lower lip as the base for the tongue. Do this so that the fish looks like they are smiling. An upside-down tear, slightly above the eye, will be for another fin.

    Step 5

    Now let’s get to some details. Draw horizontal, horizontal bumpy lines of the fish. Finish the details by drawing thin lines as shown in
    Once the simple fish drawing is done, color it!

    Step 6

    Scales are perhaps the most distinctive attribute of fish. So it’s imperative that you do it right on paper. Here’s how you can practice drawing fish scales in a box, before you try them on fish (on paper, of course!).
