Now that we’ve learned our basic shapes, let’s get out a new piece of paper and I’ll teach you how to draw this fish. First, we’re going to draw an oval for the body, like this. Be sure to put your oval over on the side so there’s room for the tail later. Now, here is where we can put the triangle for the tail, like this. Okay, I think our fish needs eyes. So, we’re going to draw two circles over. Now let’s put two smaller circles inside for its eyeballs. I’m going to make my fish looking this way, but you can make your fish looking anyways it wants. Now, let’s draw a big smile. Now our fish needs to swim, so let’s give him fins. We’re going to use triangles, one right in the middle, like this. Now let’s put another triangle on top, like this. One more, on the bottom, like this. Our fish is almost done. I’m gong to give my fish stripes but you can draw whatever you want, like squiggles or dots. Let’s draw air bubbles, by drawing circles for our fish. Now it’s time to color our fish. I’m going to color my fish red with yellow stripes, but you can color your fish anyway you want. “There’s a hundred million fish in the sea. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And each one looks so different to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Their shapes and sizes all are unique, some are going so fast. Some swim so slow.”
