YOU MAY PRINT THE ART PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

BEGINNING
Start out by drawing lightly at first so you can erase later.
Use the basic shape of a triangle to start; it does not need to be perfect. Add an arch like a rainbow over the large triangle. Make the arch lopsided so it is higher at the top of the triangle than at the bottom. Draw a small triangle centered on the back end of the large triangle.

DEVELOPING
Draw several curves going inward on the arch for the wrinkled edges. Draw three or four guidelines on the small triangle to help keep the spurs even and in line. Across the guidelines, draw bumps for the spurs of the shell. Draw the two larger spurs on the bottom like a lopsided letter "V" pointing down and back. The bottom edge curves upward a little and is wavey.

CLEAN UP THE PICTURE
Erase all the extra lines and go over the lines you want to keep.

SHADING
Put a shadow underneath the conch shell. Put shadows on the edges to give the shell roundness. Use shadow to define the wrinkles.
Use shading to show the long folds in the sides.

CLICK HERE for a link to a file in photo format that may print better.

BEGINNING
Draw lightly at first so you can erase later. Start with the horizon, where the sky meets the sea. Draw a horizontal line. You could scribble in some lines for the hills if you want it to look like the orca is in a bay.

BASIC SHAPE
Draw a curved line for the back of the orca. The bottom of the line will be at the water and a little below the horizon line you drew before, the curve will be more rounded at the head.

The bottom line is not really curved but is made up of three lines that are almost straight. One for the tail to the waist, the second is from the waist going to the neck or jaw, and the third is from the jaw to the tip

FINS.
There are more than one kind of orca and they have the back fin in different places some are in the middle and some are more forward. The Orca fin is like a triangle but narrow, draw it with two curving lines curving backward. The two front fins are large ovals.

WATER
The splash is a lot of lines that curl back and forth. There are layers of splash inside layers. To make the splash look white and foamy make the water dark. The water is darker in the foreground near the bottom and lighter at the top near the horizon. The mountains can be any way you want

COLORING
The orca is black but don' start with black if you have gray do it all in gray first then do the darkest areas in black and leave some gray so it has a rounded look. There is white behind the ear, under the chin, and under the belly.

YOU MAY PRINT THE PROJECT NOTES BELOW.


BEGINNINGS
The basic fish shape is a low wide arch on top that has a long slope at the back and an almost straight line for the bottom. Draw this lightly since it will need slight changes as we go on.

DEVELOPMENT
The dorsal fin is almost halfway on the back. The back edge of the fin is at the halfway point and is almost straight up but just slightly tilted forward. The flipper is about 1/4 of the way back from the nose. The nose has a very little bump keep it small or the whale will look like a dolphin. The tail is two narrow triangles they are thin since we are drawing them from the side.

FINE TOUCHES
The back curves slightly down and up and back down again at the tail it is only slightly. The bottom has a slight curve from the nose to the fin after the fin the line curves up to the waist and a little down for the tail then back up to connect to the fins.

MARKINGS
There are white marks on the chin going back to the fin. There is an oval mark midway on the bottom and a small white mark under the tail. The mark behind the eye is like an oval. Every whale has slightly different marks so don't struggle to get them just right.

COLORING
Start coloring the whale with gray and after you have an undercoating of gray use black on the body but leave the edges gray so it will look round.

How to Draw An Octopus

How to draw an octopus, a drawing lesson, and a printable worksheet.

This is a fun lesson that a lot of kids enjoy. 

This how-to-draw worksheet below may be printed for personal use. It will give the young artist confidence in drawing.

How to Draw an Octopus Worksheet.



Sometimes it takes me hours, but I create these how-to-draw worksheets I do it so that I can give back because I believe that when you have been given a gift, it is so you can be a gift to others, and I hope these worksheets are a means of blessing to you. Thank You!


To print the page above, highlight it and send it to your printer or save it to your device to print later. On some printers, it works better if you copy and paste the image into a Word Document and then print the Word Document as normal. If you have problems, click HERE to visit the how-to-print page for helpful tips.

You may want to print the project notes below.


The body of the octopus looks like a big toe or a blubbery bag: draw it as an oblong circle and a bump at the top for the eye. Behind the bump, add another for the eye on the other side. There is a ridge between the eyes, but it is not on all octopuses so don't go nuts trying to get it right.

The tentacles can go any way you want; they can be as long as you want or short since there are different types of octopuses. Draw the ones in front, closest to you, first. Start with an outline lightly at first.  For interest, have one go up so the body is behind it. After you have the first two just right draw the others behind.

The suction cups are on the bottom side in rows that get smaller as they go toward the tip.  Have them wrap around a bit for interest and to show the detail. Draw them as ovals since you see most of them on the side view if you draw a view of the bottom of a tentacle the suction cups will be a circle.

After the front tentacles take shape then draw the ones behind them. Do them one at a time so each one is behind the others.

You can color the octopus almost any way you want: some are very colorful with spots and splashes.

Start with a pencil and draw lightly so you can erase later. Draw the basic body like a teardrop sideways, the head is wider and the tail end is narrow and almost comes to a point.

FINS
On the beta, the fins can go any way you want. Start with a long sweeping curved line to make a half-circle for the tail. Draw sweeping curved lines on the top and the bottom of the body for the front and back of the two big fins. The edges of these fins have zig-zag line shapes.

DETAILS
There is a small fin on the side, draw it with a curved line for the outside edge and two curving lines on the top and bottom going forward like a slight triangle but not touching.
The gill is a curved line.
There is a jaw bone below the eye it is a curved line.
The eye is two circles one inside the other. Fill in the inside circle but leave a little white spot somewhere.
The moth looks like a frown.
The nose curves upward slightly

SCALES.
Lightly draw five to seven guidelines from the head to the tail for the scales, this will keep them in even rows. After you have the guideline draw the scales in even rows from the top to the bottom, each scale is a half-circle.

DETAIL THE FINS
The fins have thin bony ridges. Where the fin meets the body carefully mark off even spaces for the ridges before your draw them this keeps them even. After marking them off then slowly and carefully draw the ribs following the curve of the fins.

Start the shell as a triangle. Draw a line across the sections at an angle to give it a twisted look, then round off the sections with curving lines.

The crab has an oval face with two thin triangles for the lower half of the face.

The eyes are oval-shaped and on fat stalks.

Draw the antennae before you get too much done on the legs. The antennae have a bend by the face.

The legs look like finger shapes at first, draw them lightly until you get them right. There are three on each side. The two in the middle have fat claws. Divide the legs into three rounded segments. Add the rows of bumps lightly. Draw the bumps as little dots or small shapes like the letter "n" or "u."

Go over the best lines until they look good and then erase the rest.

Put sand or rocks on the ground underneath him and a few bubbles floating over him.

The crab can be brown, orange, grey, or black.

I hope it turns out beautiful for you.

It is an easy drawing lesson for a young artist and makes drawing a goldfish simple. The artist can begin with this example and add their own style or details to suit their purpose. There are no straight lines in this drawing so if you can't draw a straight line you should do fine!

This worksheet and project notes below may be printed by parents and teachers for personal and classroom use. It can be given out as an extra credit assignment in class or as a take-home project.

How To Draw a Goldfish Worksheet.

To print the worksheet above just highlight it and send it to your printer or save to your device to print later. Some people have better luck by dragging the image to their desktop and printing from there. If you have problems see the how to print tab above.


PROJECT NOTES BELOW MAY BE PRINTED

BODY
Start with a basic shape by drawing two curved lines, one going up and over for the back and one going down and over for the "tummy;" the lines will connect at the nose and tail. Draw the tail first as a large triangle.

DORSAL FIN
Draw the top, dorsal, fin (fin #1)  with two lines going up and curving back, the long one starts halfway across the back, the other line is shorter and almost at the tail. A third line curves down from the long first line to the shorter second line

TAIL
The back of the tail curves inward, draw two lines for the curve. (These lines for the tail and fins do not have to be perfect because if the fish is swimming the fins are moving and might be turned or twisted.)

FINS
 Fin #2 is a front fin where the neck would be and a little higher than the bottom "tummy" line. It is just two lines curving toward a blunt point.  Fin #3 it is a little larger and is also just two lines curving to a blunt point.  Fin #4 is at the back of the bottom; it is three lines, a long one starting a little behind the halfway point curving backwards, the second line is short and about 2/3 of the way toward the tail from the first line, the third line is almost straight and connects the two. The fins have hair-thin bones in them, draw these carefully, start at the body line and sweep outward lifting your pencil or marker as you go so they get thinner at the end.

EYE, MOUTH GILLS
The eye is a black circle with a white ring around it and a thin black ring around the white ring. If you are drawing in marker or pencil outline the white ring lightly with a black circle but don't make it too dark. The mouth is a short downward line. The gills are just two or three curved line in front of the fin about where the neck would be.

Example how to draw a goldfish art lesson.

I did not choose to draw the scales, if you draw scales don't make them too small or too big, take your time to make them even by drawing a light "grid" or some light guidelines to keep the pattern from getting crooked then erase the grid or guidelines when you are done.

PRINTABLE NOTES


The body of the shark looks like an upside-down teardrop with a bent tail. Draw it using two long curving lines that wrap around and off to one side. The tail is four curving lines, two going out and back, and two going in . The top tail fin is much longer. Start the mouth as a rainbow arch shape.

When you have finished the basic shape, then start adding the details. There is a hump over the eye like an eyebrow. There are two long fins, shaped like skinny triangles but slightly curved.  There is a fin at the back, but only a little shows from the slight 3/4 view.

The teeth are not even; some are broken, and some are missing. There is space between the teeth, but there are rows behind too. The gums are ragged, so use jagged lines to draw the gums.

Don't forget the gills, they are just curved lines behind the mouth. There are three small fins underneath the shark's belly. There are two nostrils, which are not for breathing, but sharks have an awesome sense of smell.

Color him gray or blue. The underside is lighter than the top and the tail fin is dark but not black.
