How to Draw a Great Looking Pufferfish for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the cartoon pufferfish outline by drawing its face. Use overlapping curved lines for the mouth and cheek. Use curved and "V" shaped lines for the opposite side of the cheek.
Use a curved line for the top of the cheek, and enclose the partial circle of the eye on top of it.
Draw two more consecutively smaller circles and shade between them. Then draw curved lines in a round shape around the eye.
