How to draw a fish

One round body, one fan tail, one big happy eye. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your fish to life.

Draw it step by step

Six steps to a fish

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the body

Draw a big egg lying on its side, a little pointy at the mouth.

2

Add the fan tail

A wide fan at the back, like a slice of watermelon.

3

Fins up and down

A triangle fin on top, and a smaller one under the belly.

4

Eye and smile

One big dot eye up front, and a curvy smile at the mouth.

5

A cheek and scales

One curve behind the head, then two rows of little smiles for the scales.

6

Finishing touches

One more row of scales, then three bubbles floating up from its mouth. Now this fish is yours.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper fish into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little tail flick below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.
