How to Draw a Dolphin in Sunset Scenery

1. Begin the dolphin sunset scenery outline by drawing the dolphin's face. Use curved lines for its beak and to outline its eye. Draw two successively smaller circles inside the eye, and shade between them.

2. Use long curved lines to sketch the dolphin's head, back, and belly. Use curved lines that double back on themselves to draw the pectoral fins.

3. Use curved lines that double back on themselves to enclose the triangular dorsal fin and sides of the tail fin. Contour the sides of the belly with long curved lines.

4. Use long and short curved lines to draw the splashing water from which the dolphin is jumping.

5. Draw more splashing water alongside the tail, and contour the water below it with curved lines. Draw oval-shaped water droplets around it. Then begin drawing the island.

Use a curved line for the top and a nearly straight line for the bottom. Extend a pair of nearly parallel curved lines from the island to form the trunk of a palm tree.

6. At the top of the tree trunk, draw the large leaves of the palm tree.

Use long curved lines for the tops of the leaves and a scalloped series of curved lines for the bottoms. Extend another pair of curved lines to draw the second trunk.

7. Finish the leaves of the first palm tree, then draw the leaves of the second.

Next, draw a straight, horizontal line behind the island and dolphin. This is the horizon line, marking the distinction between the water and sky.

8. Use a curved line to enclose a half-circle on the horizon. This is the setting sun. Draw a cloud beside it and waves on the water.

9. Draw more fluffy clouds in the sky and along the horizon.

Your dolphin sunset scenery outline is now complete. Color your picture.

Use colors that fade from orange to pink, purple, and blue to capture the sunset in all its glory. Don't forget to color its reflection on the water.
