Learn How To Draw A Jellyfish Quickly

This is a simplified image that will help you master the basics. Obviously, these creatures don’t have facial features on the side of that “umbrella”. But for the sake of this how to draw a Jellyfish tutorial, let’s have some fun and add them :). We start with the “dome” that also looks like a soldier’s helmet (00 min 06 sec). Once it’s in place, the head will be done.

The identical eyes are placed very close to each other (00 min 16 sec). We’re going for a cartoon vibe in this video guide, which means you should make the left eye just a smidge bigger than the right one. After you put in the pupils, move on to the mouth (00 min 34 sec). Yes, it’s very simplified, but that’s exactly what gives our character that funny and engaging look.

The tentacles are the next step in this how to draw a Jellyfish tutorial (00 min 40 sec). They look like the fingers on a widely open palm. You’ve got five in total, with the one in the middle being bigger than the rest. The final thing to do is to add those “bells” that come down from the tip of every single tentacle (00 min 47 sec). Alright, now we’re officially done!

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
