We haven’t colored our koi fish yet, but we’re planning to soon.

How to draw koi. Draw the koi fish on canvas. Outline the body of your koi fish sketch. This is a great tutoral on drawing our favorite fish.

First, you draw a curved line as the body of the fish. This fish has a distinctive look, and we will be aiming to capture that look in this depiction of the fish. Before we begin drawing, it's important to set aside some time to research.

Here’s another look at the completed drawing…. My traceable is two 8.5” x 11” sheets that you will need to tape together. Draw the body of your koi fish sketch.

This will fit on an 11 x 14 canvas. When you trace, do so on a flat surface. This lesson is a little more advanced and meant for kids ages 13 and up and even adults!

Also, add details on the fins. Add lines inside for detail. Step 4 make tail & lower side fins.

Draw one part of the tail. Perfect for artists of all levels! Step 5 make lines over the tail and over the fins as shown.
