Learn More About The Kawaii Dolphin Drawing
What is it about an animal drawing that makes you say, "That's so cute!" Is it the big eyes? The childlike proportions?
The gentle smile and blush on the cheek that indicate innocence and humility? This kawaii dolphin drawing checks all those boxes.
Kawaii describes a Japanese "culture of cuteness" art. It is closely related to the chibi art style in which characters are "superdeformed" to have large heads, large eyes, and comparatively small bodies.
This dolphin definitely fits that description. Dolphins are normally sleek and torpedo shaped, as in this dolphin drawing. But this illustration appears top-heavy and infantile, and that's what makes it so cute!
Your cute dolphin doesn't have to go it alone. Draw its cousin, this cute narwhal drawing, as a companion. Both dolphins and narwhals are considered toothed whales.
You can also learn how to draw other kawaii animals. Start with the classics, such as this kawaii cat drawing and kawaii bunny drawing.
