How to Draw an Easy Dolphin for Kids

1. Begin the easy dolphin for kids outline by drawing its eye. Draw a circle with a small oval inside it. Shade between them.

2. Draw a long curved line to form the dolphin's head, back, and tail. Draw a short line over its eye to indicate the eyebrow.

3. Draw another long curved line to outline the dolphin's beak - its mouth - and the bottom of its head.

4. Draw a curved line perpendicular to the previous one to form the dolphin's flipper. Draw a curved line down the center of the beak, and let it intersect a small curved line at the end. This is the dolphin's mouth.

5. Complete the flipper by extending the curved line and doubling it back on itself.

Then extend another curved line from it, forming the belly. From the other side of the tail, extend a curved line to begin the tail fin.

6. Extend a curved line on the opposite side of the tail to mirror the first. Then draw a curved line to meet the end of the first.

7. Use a curved line to finish enclosing the dolphin's tail. Extend a curved line from the chest and double it back on itself to enclose the remaining flipper.

8. Extend a curved line from the dolphin's back and double it back on itself to form the dorsal fin.

9. Draw curved lines loosely parallel to the belly and chest to indicate the lighter coloration on the dolphin's belly.

Your easy dolphin for kids outline is now complete. Color your animal drawing. Bottlenose dolphins are bluish-grey, sometimes with light pink bellies. But other dolphins come in other colors, too.
