How to Draw a Carp Fish from Animals
step-1
GRID STEP. You can print out the base construction lines and start drawing on tracing paper or you can draw the grid layout yourself using the following steps.
1) Draw a rectangle that will define the conditional proportions and boundaries of the chosen drawing. 2) From the middle of the rectangle, draw one vertical and one horizontal line equally dividing the shape. 3) Draw another horizontal line equally dividing the upper half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a horizontal line equally dividing the bottom half of the rectangle. 4) Draw a vertical line equally dividing the left half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a vertical line equally dividing the right half of the rectangle.
step-2
GRID STEP. Mark off the width and height of the picture. Draw two ovals for the head and body of the fish. Draw a smooth line, which will act as the center of its head.
step-3
GRID STEP. Draw the shapes of the body and fin.
step-4
GRID STEP. Add guidelines for the fins and mouth.
step-5
GRID STEP. Draw the shapes of the fish’s fins, mouth, and eye.
