Drawn fish, pictures with which fit well into any interior, can have the same effect on mood as a real aquarium. Therefore, it is better to place them where you want to relax. Masters in large works start the process from the background, drawing the bottom (stone, sand), objects surrounding the fish, which can be algae, a flooded boat, a treasure chest, etc. It is very important to transfer various layers of water, as well as streams of light from above. This gives the picture volume and depth.
The path to great works begins with a lesson entitled "How to Draw Fish with a Pencil." First you need to decide which representative of the water world you want to draw. It is one thing if this is a pike, similar to a log, another thing - if a nightmare of underwater depths - an angler. In the initial stages, the easiest way is to take some kind of animated sample of ordinary shapes.
If you want to know how to draw fish, you can start with a large oval that will represent the body. To the ends of the letter you need to draw two diverging sticks and connect them together with a wavy line - this will be the tail. Further on top and bottom draw triangles, and in the center is put a checkmark in the shape of "V", depicting the lateral fin. An eye is drawn in the appropriate place, and the reverse letter “Z” is drawn in place of the mouth, which will depict convex lips. Now on the body you can draw scales, stripes and colorize the picture. All work takes a couple of minutes. Such drawings are good for small children, as they are very simple and give quick results.
A more "graceful" creation will turn out if you take the oval as the basis of the drawing. How to draw fish in this case? To the oval on one side you need to draw a triangle, the two sides of which lie on the contour of the oval, and the third protrudes forward and slightly down. On the other hand, draw a small rectangle, going beyond the contours of the oval shape. In the rectangular contour we enter a triangle so that its two sides pass through the two corners of the rectangle. We trace all the figures along the contour in a smooth line, draw the tail, face of the fish, eyes and gills. We depict fins and scales. This sample is more similar to those that are painted, for example, on canned labels.
Some are interested in how to draw fish in motion. In this case, you also need to try to highlight some simple figures in the figure, from which then “assemble” the whole image. For example, in the proposed carp drawing, the head and silhouette of the calf are first drawn, to which, again, fins are added.
Those who want to portray the underwater world most realistically try to learn how to draw fish with glare. Here, everything is also quite simple: on the back, light stripes are shown along the ridge, and on the scales - small light spots. This is a classic option. If you are drawing from nature, then the light accents are placed depending on the location of the light source.
