How to Draw a Swordfish
- Prepare the base.
Determine the size of your drawing and draw a circle to indicate the position of the head. Then draw a smooth line to indicate the position of the body.
- Draw the head.
Focus on the auxiliary lines and draw the outline of the head. Draw the long thin sword, open mouth, eye, and gill slit on the side of the head.
- Depict the body of the fish.
With the help of a horizontal line depict the back and draw the belly with a smooth curved line. At the bottom, draw two pointed fins.
- Add the rest of the fins and tail.
Depict the large dorsal fin and add two small fins that are closer to the tail. Draw the big tail, which consists of two parts.
- Detail the color.
All the main contours are ready and now with the help of jagged wavy lines draw the contour where the color of the body will be different.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Now compare the drawing with our example and if you notice inaccuracies, then correct them at this stage. Carefully remove all auxiliary lines.
- Color the drawing.
For coloring, use different shades of blue and gray. Highlight the dark areas and add highlights to make your drawing look more realistic.
