How to Draw a Tigerfish

Step 1: Long egg body

Draw a C face on the left. From its top, draw a long rainbow ending at a short neck. Same underneath.

Step 2: Huge eye

High in the front of the body, draw one huge eye. Add a black pupil with 2 shines.

Step 3: Mouth full of fangs

Draw a smile from the face up to a corner, a lip from the chin to it, and 4 long fangs.

Tip Long pointy teeth are what a tigerfish is famous for.

Step 4: Forked tail

Draw a line across the neck. Start at its top, draw a pointed fin ending at a dent. Match it below.

Tip The 2 points are the same size, like a letter V on its side.

Step 5: Top fin

Start on the back near the middle. Draw a sail leaning back, ending on the back. Add 2 rays.

Step 6: Gill

A finger behind the eye, draw a short C bowing toward the tail, not touching the back or belly.

Step 7: Tiger stripes

Behind the gill, draw 3 long thin leaf stripes along the body, all pointing at the tail.

Tip Keep every stripe inside the body, with a gap between them.

Step 8: Side fin

Under the stripes, draw a fat leaf fin lying flat, pointing toward the tail. Add 2 rays.

Step 9: Belly fin

Start on the belly behind the side fin. Draw a small sail leaning back, and stop back on the belly.

Step 10: Sand and seaweed

Draw a wavy sand line from edge to edge. Add 2 seaweed blades on the left, one on the right.

Step 11: Sandy floor, green seaweed

Colour the sand under the line sandy and the seaweed green.

Step 12: Silver-grey fish

Colour the body grey, around the stripes and the side fin. Leave the eye and mouth white.

Step 13: Orange fins, red mouth

Colour the tail and all 3 fins orange. Colour the mouth red around the fangs.

Step 14: Black stripes

Colour the 3 stripes black. Go over your lines and your tigerfish is done!
