How to Draw a Dolphin Face
Draw a dolphin face in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: head and body.
Step 1: Head and body
Draw a big dolphin body on its side: pointy beak on the left, round forehead, narrow tail on the right.
Step 2: The fin
On top of the head, behind the middle, draw a curved fin with a round tip leaning back.
Step 3: One big eye
Behind the beak, a little above the middle, draw 1 big round eye with a black dot and shine.
Step 4: Long smile
Start at the point of the beak. Draw a long smile back under the eye, curling up just past it.
Step 5: Belly line
From the bottom of the smile, draw a long belly curve back to the tail.
Step 6: Flipper
Under the tummy, just behind the eye, draw a small leaf flipper pointing down and back.
Step 7: Tail flukes
At the end of the tail, draw 2 curved flukes with round tips, one going up and one going down.
Tip Rub out the tail tip inside the flukes.
Step 8: Bubbles
In front of the forehead, draw 3 bubbles floating up, smallest on top.
Step 9: Cream belly, pink blush
Colour the belly under the smile cream and a pink blush on the cheek.
Step 10: Grey dolphin, blue bubbles
Colour the dolphin grey around the belly and blush, and the bubbles sky blue. Leave the eye white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a dolphin face, drawn by you.
