how to draw a blobfish
Step 1:
Begin with an irregular, rounded shape for the base of the body, slightly narrower at the top and wider at the bottom.
Step 2:
Add two small circles towards the top of the body for the eyes.
Step 3:
Draw a large, downturned mouth below the eyes, making sure it’s wide and slightly overlaps on the bottom side to give a three-dimensional effect. Also, draw a “U” shape for the nose.
Step 4:
dd a flipper on each side of the body, starting with a curved line outwards and then back in to create a simple fin shape.
Step 5:
Repeat the flipper shape on the other side to ensure symmetry.
Step 6:
Add details to the flippers.
Step 7:
Outline the body to give it a more definite shape, and add a tail fin protruding from the back, using a wavy line for the top of the tail and a smoother curve for the bottom.
Step 8:
Sketch in the details of the tail fin, drawing the individual lobes of the fin.
Step 9:
Add texture to the body with wavy lines for a gelatinous appearance.
Step 10:
Finish by coloring the blobfish, typically in a pale, fleshy pink with lighter shades for highlighting and darker tones for shadows.
