Drawing a dolphin is easy with the help of this step-by-step dolphin outline drawing tutorial.

Are dolphins your favorite animal? They are for many people. People love dolphins because they are smart, playful, and always look like they are smiling.

Many people don't know that there are many types of dolphins - nearly forty species, in fact. The killer whale, like the one pictured in this orca drawing, is the largest of the dolphins.

This outline represents the basic body shape of most dolphins. Some are bigger or smaller. Some have snouts that are shorter or longer and skinnier.

Dolphins are seldom found alone. They like to travel in family groups called pods. You can add more dolphins to your pod - check out this cartoon dolphin drawing or this dolphin heart drawing.
