Dolphin drawings in four easy steps (part 2)
by Vincenzo
Now it is time to get rid of the circles, they have served their purpose and can now leave us be!
It is time to add the features that make the dolphin so recognizable, I am talking of the fins and the eyes positioned behind the mouth angles.
Step 3
Adding body features
First of all divide the body in half from top to bottom. This line will intersect the body profile in two points. At the top this point will be the starting position of the dorsal fin. At the bottom, this line will be a guide for the ending position of the pectoral fins.
Draw a line horizontally now that start at the level of the mouth. Exactly where the mouth ends. This line will define the bottom half of the dolphin body, the part that is normally white or clearer than the upper portion (which is light blue).
Finally draw the fins using these guides trying to give them a very smooth shape. Position the eye near to the mouth corner, like in the above image.
Dolphins are often regarded as one of Earth's most intelligent animals. The individuals communicate using a variety of clicks, whistles and other vocalizations. They also use ultrasonic sounds for echolocation. Dolphins also show cultural behavior, something long believed to be a quality unique to humans.
Some dolphins, teach their young to use tools. The dolphins break sponges off and cover their snouts with them thus protecting their snouts while foraging. |
Step 4
refining your dolphin drawing
Keep adding small detail as you go on with the drawing of your dolphin. Add the tail, which is horizontal and not vertical like in sharks, emphasize the division between the lower body and the upper body, take care of the fin curvature making sure the lines of the fins seamlessly merge with the line of the body.
And there you have it, a beautiful dolphin drawing!
