How to Draw Deep Sea Animals
In this section of the site, let's focus on deep sea animals - a popular niche within another obviously popular section on the site. It's true - animal cartoons are something many people (me too!) just love to draw.
By 'deep sea' of course - we're talking about any type of critter that lives beneath the ocean. Everything from fish to dolphins to whales to turtles. So any new animal lessons that pop up - geared towards this topic, I'll be sure to post them here.
By the way, have you thought about how easy drawing sea creatures can be? If you look at the fish lessons below you'll notice that yes - I show you how to draw 'one specific fish'.
But truly, if you get extra creative - you can alter the look to create literally ANY type of fish imaginable. The shape of a rainbow trout for example isn't the same as say - a pike or barracuda. So? Stretch out the framework, reference a photo of the new fish you'd like to create... and get to it!
Creativity should always play a HUGE role, as you embark to become better at drawing - including the deep sea animals you'll draw here.
