Description Can I say, holy *bleeeeeep*? o___o A DD?! Thank you so much everyone! <3




Hello everyone!
It's my FIRST FLASH ever so I'm excited about finishing this. <3

This is a step-by-step all you need to know about how to draw a jellyfishes! 5 different jellyfish are introduced and made in this. A total of 89 pages are in this tutorial.

Credits are on the last page of the flash but as a reminder, my information source was basically Wikipedia. So if any of the information you read is incorrect, please let me know and I'll see what I can do to fix it.


Thanks a bunch! Please comment and let me know if it is helpful and what kind of tutorial you'd like to see from me next!

I don't think I would ever have the need to draw a jellyfish, but I went through the entire tutorial all the same, because it was very interesting! And your depictions of these guys was impressive. Nice job!

XD I get pretty random when I write... I never expected so many people to read this so I'm a bit "o_o;;;" If I knew, I probably would have been a little bit more serious and actually tried to use a spell check of some kind. Haha.

Thanks!

Your jellyfish are a thing of beauty! They look very realistic. c:

No offense or anything, but this was the last thing on my mind when it came to making tutorials on random animals. But jellyfish can be hard to draw to those that don't usually draw them (which is a lot of people, including me).

Your instructions were clear and concise, unlike some tutorials that just tell you what they did. (Ex.: "I drew the bell of the jelly, then the tentacles.)

Not only did you tell us how to draw a jelly, you also put in some interesting facts as well.

Thank you for this lovely, detailed tutorial!

I was unsure of how good or bad I was doing tutorial wise on drawing and explaining it.

Wow. Who knew jellyfishes would be this interesting (and detailed?o.O)

I'm not sure if I'll ever need to draw jellyfishes (I'm kind of hoping I will, eventually) but this shall be saved, just in case!

For one who loves to frequent various aquariums, this is quite a pleasant surprise here on DA! It's great to see someone take a creature that many overlook and make it fascinating for us to learn about.
I really enjoyed the detailed descriptions of each type of jellyfish and how you melded it with the technical side of actually drawing it. This really makes me wish there was some sort of drawing tour at the aquariums where people could do this live!

Now that could be fun! In the aquarium have a little drawing corner with artist assistants. xD

This is beautiful. The details and the time invested in this makes it well worth reading. Not only does this tutorial describe the simple elegance of jellyfish but it teaches us how to use color layers to make beautiful art.

I love jellies so much, whenever I go to the aquarium I just stand at the tanks and stare at their wiggly beauty.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial, now I want to go off and draw oodles of jellyfish!

o.o How sweet!

I'm a fan of jellies, they are a living proof that a creature doesen't need a face to be cute

I'm surprised you make this so simple and fun to follow ^^ Congratulations!

Also, congrats on the DD, you earned it!
