Here’s a fun fact about jellyfish: Did you know that jellyfish aren’t classified as fish? They are vertebrates that live underwater.
The jellyfish is often characterized by its glowing, transparent skin and unique appearance, making it an attractive subject to draw on.
However, due to their complex and intricate characteristics, it can be difficult to capture a jellyfish’s beauty on paper perfectly. Luckily, we’ve nailed a step-by-step guide on how to draw a jellyfish. This tutorial consists of 9 easy steps.
Also, each step is accompanied by detailed illustrations that serve as a visual guide and make drawing a jellyfish much easier to Draw A Jellyfish!
How to Draw A Jellyfish
Step 1
Starting at the top of the paper, draw a downward curved shape to outline your jellyfish’s hood.
If drawn correctly, it should look like a three-quarter circle, as shown in the image.
It cannot be easy to draw this shape freehand. So don’t hesitate to use a pair of compasses to help you refine the outline.
A compass is a drawing tool that allows you to quickly and easily draw a perfect circle. If using a compass, draw a circle and erase the quarter’s bottom line to Draw A Jellyfish.
Step 2
Complete the jellyfish’s body by drawing more connected curved lines under the hood outline we drew in the previous step.
After completing this step, the outline of your jellyfish’s body should be closed, making it complete to Draw A Jellyfish.
Step 3
Draw the first tentacle under your jellyfish’s body.
The tentacle tip looks best when rounded, as shown in the image. But you can also make it spiky to Draw A Jellyfish!
Step 4
Repeat the previous step on the opposite side to shape the second tentacle of your jellyfish.
Make sure you leave a gap between the two tentacles to make enough room for the center tentacle that we will draw in the next step.
Step 5
To create the tentacle between the first two tentacles, we drew in the previous steps, draw an upward curved line below that converges with the lines of the other two tentacles.
Because of the two tentacles on either side, it makes sense that only the tip of the central tentacle is visible to Draw A Jellyfish.
Step 6
Draw another tentacle on the far left under the jellyfish hood to create the fourth tentacle.
Step 7
Repeat the previous step on the opposite side to create the fifth and final tentacle.
Once this step is complete, all your jellyfish’s tentacles should be ready to Draw A Jellyfish!
Step 8
One of the distinguishing features of the jellyfish is the circular patterns all over the surface of its body. That’s what we’re going to work on in this step.
Draw several lateral oval shapes of different sizes all over the jellyfish’s body.
There is no perfect place to place these patterns. So feel free to draw them anywhere, as long as they are on the jellyfish’s hood or body surface to Draw A Jellyfish!
Step 9
Give your jellyfish a happy expression by giving them a pair of sparkling eyes and a big smile!
Create the eyes by drawing two circles in the center of the jellyfish’s face. Next, draw a small circle in each eye. Next, shade all of the eyes except for the small circle inside them to make the eyes appear to glow.
To complete your jellyfish’s facial features, draw an upward sweeping line under the eyes to create a wide smile.
And that’s it – you have completed the drawing of a jellyfish. Now you only need a touch of bright colors to make your jellyfish colorful to Draw A Jellyfish!
Now that we have successfully drawn an adorable jellyfish, it’s time for the most fun and exciting part – choosing colors and coloring in your drawing!
