How to draw a realistic Gold Fish

Let us learn how to draw a Gold Fish.

Gold fish descends from carp domesticated more than thousand years ago in Asia. It would be interesting, but … boring to tell how breeders gradually selected this kind of fish, changed its shape and coloring. Now  any interested person has an opportunity to keep goldfish in the aquarium. Actually there are a lot of different types of the goldfishes, and we`ll  learn how to draw the most common Gold Fish now.

Gold Fish body is elongated, thick and strong, like the wild carp body, but without the hump on the back.

Look at the head: it is separated from  body  by the line of  Gill cover. The eyes are large and are situated approximately in the middle. The mouth is a narrow crack in the middle too.

Tail fin is very large if compared with the fin of any wild carp-like fish. Pectoral and pelvic fins  also complement the appearance of the fish.

As always I believe that one lesson-how to draw a Goldfish – is not enough . We need to learn more!
