Here’s another popular mammal (no, not a fish!) that is famous for having big smarts and big, playful personalities…the Dolphin! Dolphins are very popular with kids just like sharks. But some kids have a hard time drawing sharks and dolphins for the same reason – marine life has a very unique irregularity in shape and drawing them takes practice. How can you draw with enough diversity and accuracy to differentiate between sharks and dolphins? This how-to-draw tutorial will teach you how in 8 simple steps!

🖍️ Tools For Success
- Paper (Our Free How To Draw Template PDF)
- Pencil
- Polymer Eraser
- Outline Markers
- Coloring Tools (I recommend Crayola’s 140 Piece Coloring Case)
🎨 Parents: The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you’re done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.
Learn To Draw a Cute Dolphin: Easy Guide!
~
Step-by-Step Guide: Dolphin
- Draw two diagonal lines parallel to each other, going downwards in opposite directions.
- Next, draw another pair of diagonal lines right above the first pair, but this time enclose the diagonal lines on the left with a short curved line, forming the dolphin’s mouth and upper body.
- Then, connect the remaining gaps with a triangular fin on top, two adjacent fin-shaped tails on the right side, and an overlapping triangular fin below the body.
- After that, let’s draw a tiny rounded eye above the dolphin’s mouth and two tiny long curve lines on each side of the lower body, highlighting the stomach.
- Finally, we can color it blue, and the stomach outlines white!
