Step by Step Guide

The dolphin is a magnificent sea creature and one of my most favorite animals. I love drawing dolphins, and over the years, I’ve gotten really good at it. The way I draw them is very simple and done in a step by step manner. This process is extremely easy, beginner friendly, and can get the job done in very little time.

To draw a dolphin, we start with a simple crescent shape, and then add its eyes. We then draw the flippers, add the facial expressions, and any other necessary detail. Finally, we finish our drawing by giving our dolphin a colorful and natural look.
