Use short lines to outline the eye and contour above it. Draw two consecutively smaller circles within the eye and shade between them.
Drawing Step 2
2. Use long, curved lines to draw the dolphin's back and belly. Use curved lines that double back on themselves to form the pectoral fins.

Drawing Step 4
4. Use curved lines to contour the base of the pectoral fin and outline the lighter color of the belly.
Then, begin drawing the dolphin's environment. Use long curved lines to form a rocky outcropping with several rounded shapes above it. These will become animals called sponges.
Drawing Step 5
5. Draw a "C" shaped opening at the top of each sponge. Then, use curved lines that meet at points to draw seaweed.
Drawing Step 6
6. Use long, curved lines to draw the sandy ocean bottom and another rocky outcrop in the distance. Then, enclose a five-armed starfish drawing lying on the seafloor.
Drawing Step 7
7. Draw curved lines in a starburst pattern down the center of each of the starfish's arms. Enclose several ovals and rounded shapes on the seafloor.
Then use curved lines to enclose a balloon shape above the dolphin. This will become a jellyfish drawing.
