How to draw a Carp Fish

Let`s learn how to draw a Carp. We continue the theme – how to draw a fish.

Carp is a relative of the sazan, just more domesticated. Carp can live in rivers and lakes.If the carp lives in running water, it has a more elongated torso and in still water carp is short and thick. Carp feed on crustaceans,worms and fish. In winter they are covered with a layer of mucus and hibernate. The body of a carp is covered with a dense layer of scales.But there are species generally glabrous or with a few huge scales.
