How to Draw a Dolphin Heart

1. Begin the dolphin heart outline by drawing the beak of the first dolphin. Use a curved, "U" shaped line for the beak. Then draw the eye. Use a curved line for the cheek, and enclose a partial oval above it. Draw a smaller oval inside the eye and shade between them. Then, use a short curved line for the eyebrow.

2. Use curved lines to trace the dolphin's sleek body. Extend a long curved line from the top of the beak to form the animal's head, back, and tail. Extend a line below the beak to begin tracing the dolphin's chest. Draw a curved line across the beak to indicate the mouth.

3. Extend a curved line from the dolphin's body and double it back upon itself to form the flipper. Continue the line of the belly below the flipper to the base of the tail. Then, use another curved line to trace one of the dolphin's tail fins.

4. Use curved lines to enclose the dorsal fin on the dolphin's back, the remaining pectoral fin, and the opposite side of the tail fin.

5. Now, you will draw another dolphin, a mirror image of the first. Use a curved line for the beak, touching the beak of the original dolphin. Then draw the eye, using curved lines for the brow and cheek, and ovals for the eye itself.

6. Use a long curved line to trace the dolphin's head and back, and a shorter line for the smiling mouth.

7. Draw the pectoral fin using a curved line that doubles back upon itself. Extend a long curved line from the bottom of the beak, behind the fin, to the base of the dolphin's tail.

8. Use curved lines to enclose the tail fin.

9. Complete the dolphin heart outline by drawing the pectoral fin and the dorsal fin. Use curved lines for each.

Color your heart-shaped dolphin cartoon.

Did you know? Dolphins are off in shaded blue in cartoons, but in the wild, they come in many colors. Many dolphins are gray, but others are white with black spots. Some have black and yellow stripes. There is even a type of freshwater river dolphin that is pink in color!
