Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Dolphin" video after each step to draw at your own pace.




For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw a long, narrow oval as a guide for the dolphin's body. It doesn't have to be perfect. It's just a guide.

Step 2: On the right side of the oval draw an arc as a guide for the dolphin's head.

Step 3: On the lower right side of the arc, draw a smaller, thinner arc as a guide for the dolphin's mouth.

Step 4: On top of the body, draw a triangular shape as a guide for the dolphin's dorsal fin.

Step 5: Under the dolphin's body, closer to the head, draw a thinner triangular shape as a guide for the flipper.
