Draw Koi Fish



Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Koi" 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.



Draw Koi Fish 1

Step 1: Draw a circle as a guide for the koi fish's body. The circle doesn't have to be perfect. It's just a guide. Leave enough room on the sides for the tail and the head.



Draw Koi Fish 2

Step 2: Draw an arc on the left side of the circle as a guide for the koi's head. The length of the arc should be about the same as the width of the circle.



Draw Koi Fish 3

Step 3: Draw another arc on the right side of the circle as a guide for the back part of the koi fish's body. This arc should be a tiny bit longer and narrower than the first one.



Draw Koi Fish 4

Step 4: Draw a triangle-like shape on the right side as a guide for the koi's tail. To draw the tail, first draw a long line on the side, then connect the line to the body using smaller diagonal lines.

Step 5: Draw three small lines on the bottom left side as a guide for the koi's pectoral fin.
