How to Draw a Marlin

STEP 1.

 You are drawing a fish from the front view which means this should be a bit easier to draw. Start with an egg shape and then draw the long spear line for the upper jaw. Next draw a cashew shape for the body outline.

STEP 2.

 Next start sketching out the shape of the speared upper jaw, and then slowly continue to draw the forehead, and back lining of the fish's body. Lastly, draw the flipper fin to the left.

STEP 3.

 You will focus primarily on the front face of the fish, starting with the completion of the mouth which consists of the lower jaw, and inner mouth detailing. Draw a small circle for the eye, and then draw lining for the gills, and neck of the fish. Lastly, add the marking line that will be for the blue colored coat.

STEP 4.

 Color in a pupil for the one eye, and then add some detailing around the mouth as shown. You will then draw the Mohawk like dorsal fin and then add the detailing lines with the fins make-up. When that is done draw the pectoral fin, and again add the lining.

STEP 5.

 Continue to sketch out more of the body shape, and then draw in more fins as well as detailing them as seen here in this step.

STEP 6.

 Lastly, draw the large tail fin and then add some detailing to the body to show it's curved arch. Erase all the guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one, and then move to see what you have in the end.

STEP 7.

 That's it, you're done. Color in your fish with dark blue markers, crayons, or colored pencils. I hope you enjoyed this lesson on "how to draw a marlin fish, step by step".
