You have many options to enjoy some peace and quiet, so you can clear your mind and forget about the world.
A relaxing way to do this is to go to a beautiful pond or river and enjoy the gentle rippling water.
This is a great way to relax, but it can get even more relaxing if you have Japanese koi fish!
You can find many different patterns and colors in these beautiful fish. Learning how to draw a Japanese Koi fish is as relaxing and fun as watching them live in person!
This tutorial will be a great help if you love these fish.
This step-by-step guide will teach you how to draw a Japanese Koi fish.
1st Step:
In this step, we will begin with the head, face, and first section of your body. This is the first step in our guide on how you draw a Japanese Koi fish.
We will try to capture the distinctive look of this fish in this illustration.
At the base, the face outline will be very wide. Then it will narrow down closer to the tip. The facial portion will be distinct from the rest.
The whiskers that they have on their faces are another distinguishing feature.
A simple, rounded shape can be used to draw their eyes. Next, draw some curves around the beginning of the fish’s body. Then, we can move on to step 2.
2nd Step:
Once we have the face of the Japanese koi fish drawn, we can add more body parts in the second step. We will first draw the flippers along the sides of this body.
These fins will be drawn with long, rounded lines that make each one appear as though it is made up of three distinct sections.
After you have drawn the flippers, draw a line that extends backward to the belly of your fish. Next, we will move on to step 3.
3rd Step:
This is the third step in , our guide on how a Japanese koifish should be drawn. We will add the fin that runs along its top.
The base will have a smooth curve, and the fin will then be drawn using many smaller, rounded lines connecting to form the various sections.
Refer to the reference image for a guideline on how this fin should look. You will then be ready to move on to the fourth step.
4th Step:
In the fourth step of this guide, we will add quite a bit to this Japanese Koi fish drawing. You can begin to finish the outline by adding the tail.
These lines will be drawn using curved lines. The tail fin’s top will be longer than its bottom. To add texture, you can draw lines in the tail fin.
Next, we’ll draw the scales on this fish’s body. It can be slow and tedious, but it is possible.
These scales can be drawn by simply adding rows of small, rounded marks along the fish’s body. Once these have been drawn, we’ll add more details to the scales in part 2.
5th Step:
You’re now ready to complete the picture. Then, have some coloring fun with this tutorial on how to draw Japanese koi fishes!
We will add more details to the scales in order to complete it. Simply draw a small circle inside each scale where it intersects with another one.
You can then add your own details! Perhaps you could add a peaceful background of a pond to complete the project! This is only one idea. What other ideas can you come up with?
6th Step:
We will finish your Japanese Koi Fish Drawing with some colors.
