How to Draw Clown Fish

The clownfish is very identifiable by its bright orange and white stripes. Start by drawing a fish shape outline, and then add fins to it on either side. Add an eye and the bold stripe pattern. Finish off with a black stripe towards the outer edge of the fins. If you wish to use color, add orange to the wide stripes.

TIP: Always draw your fish at on angle either going upward or downward, to show movement.
