How to draw a Pike fish

Let`s learn how to draw a Pike.

Of course, as it has become a habit, I have prepared a lesson on “how to draw a pike”. But I warn you once, that the pike from any point looks almost the same. Usually I encourage everyone to draw animals in a realistic way, not to resort to stylization and cartoonish images, but pike will not be spoiled even in a cartoon. She has a very specific appearance – a sort of crocodile embodied in the fish.

Let`s start.

Pike fish drawing step by step

Here‘s just a few lines,and all this pike is already clear. Elongated torso like a log abruptly narrowed in front of the tail.

The head is large and even huge,it resembles a crocodile due to the long jaws. And just like a crocodile snout slightly snub-nosed. The eyes are small and round. The head is separated from the torso by gills,with the gill covers.

In this picture the pike is depicted with a closed mouth. It’s good. I really don’t approve of pike with open jaws. Once I was given a dried head of a pike. You would have seen these long curved inside teeth! Of course, I immediately stuck a finger in her mouth. And couldn’t pull  out back. I came across several hooks. After I almost ripped my finger, I strongly prefer the pike with the closed mouth.

And we turn to drawing the fins.

The tail has two rounded blades. Dorsal and caudal fins are almost the same

On the belly and chest pike has two pairs of triangular fins.

The fins have a complex structure – they consist of long dense spine.

Pike usually has  camouflage colors. It can be darker or lighter depending on habitat. If pike lives in the grass,its sides can be of the strip. Or it may be spotty.

I have another step-by-step lesson how to draw a pike, but she is, you know, just the same. So I’ll just show the final figure. And this detailed review I am lazy, sorry.
