How to Draw a Blue Tang

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Draw a slightly skewed oval.

   The oval should be horizontal.
   
   Make sure that you are using a pencil for the draft sketch so you can erase it afterwards to make it neat.
2. 2

   Step 2: Add the fins and tails.

   For the tail, just draw a long triangle at one opposite end, with the point towards the fish body.
   
   For the fin, just draw an elongated heart-shaped figure placed 1/3 across from the left. , For the anal fin, just add a long curved line from the belly to the tail.
   
   It doesn’t need to look perfect, just to add some textures to the fish.
   
   For the pelvic fin, draw a skewed “V” that points slightly towards the tail.
   
   Draw a circle for the face just so you know where to draw the gills.
   
   Also, draw 2 peaks for the fish’s beak. , Put in mind the overlapping lines and parts that should be hidden.
   
   The lineart might not look perfect and crisp but it should look neat when the pencil is erased. , You can add a line for the dorsal fin and you can make the eyes bigger or fuller.
   
   You can also add extra lines to separate the color.
   
   I added some of those lines to the tail. ,
