How to Draw a Great Looking Barracuda for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the barracuda outline by drawing a long curved line. Angle the line in a "V" shape to form the front of the fish's snout, then double it back on itself at the end.
Then, draw the eye using an oval within an oval. Shade the smaller of the two ovals.
