We love that you love our how to draw tutorials for kids! With temperatures here being summer like, we decided to make a series of ocean animal drawing tutorials (did you check out our how to draw a fish step by step tutorial – it’s the easiest one ever).
Next in line is the dolphin, the silly mammal of the ocean. And a super smart one too. You might think this animal is tricky to draw, but you’ll soon see it’s easy peasy.
Once your kids or you master this “standard pose” (at least judging by all the dolphin pendants I see around) you will be drawing this animal in all kind of different poses too. Or add see waves and sun to the background to make your drawing even cooler.
Ready to give it a try? I just know you’ll make a wonderful drawing!

The first step is actually the trickiest, it will all become really easy moving forward. We’ll start by drawing a rostum. Start at the top, making sort of a “laying down” U shape and stretching the line a bit further on the bottom end.
Now to make the curve for the back. Start on the right and finish one the left.
Draw a pectoral fin.
Draw the belly.
Now to draw all other fins, another pectoral fin then dorsal fin. Also draw the tail.
Last but not least draw a mouth (we drew a nice smile on our little dolphin) and an eye.
