step-by-step drawing guide

step 1: draw the letter c

first, take your blue crayon and draw a large letter c in the middle of your paper. make it big enough to leave room for the rest of the dolphin's body. this will serve as the base for your dolphin's shape.

step 2: draw the nose

next, draw a small backwards letter c at the top of the letter c you just drew. this will be the dolphin's nose. make sure it's connected to the main letter c.

step 3: draw the forehead

now, it's time to draw the forehead. start by curving the line from the nose down and around, creating a smooth curve. then, bring the line to a point at the bottom. this will give your dolphin a more defined shape.

step 4: add details

to make your dolphin look even more realistic, add a little bit more detail to the top of the forehead. draw a small curve coming up from the top and then in, creating a thicker top for your dolphin.

step 5: finishing touches

once you've completed the main outline of your dolphin, you can add finishing touches like the eyes, mouth, and fins. use your black crayon to draw these details, making sure they are proportional to the size of your dolphin.
