Description And the final bits of the old tutorial, now with new material that I never really finished properly but added on anyway. The extra stuff is really fun, it's the kind of stuff I like in how to's and tutorials to have, inspired by that silly man Jack Hamm and his how~to books. The fully rendered dolphins at bottom the are copied from photos (about 4 or 5 years ago!) but because I have them in use for educational purposes, I think it's ok. I am surely not going to make any money of of this. It ends fairly abrubtly but that's as far as I got.

Hope this helps! Comments and critiques are welcome! Please send others you feel might benefit from any of these how to's this way.

Edit: I just realized there is a mistake. I mention Fig. G twice...the second time it should say Fig. H.

I like it very much, though I'd like you to show how to draw a dolphin's body. I know basics, but still I'd like to learn more.

Oh, I adore dolphins! Can't believe there's tutorial here for drawng one.

Anyways, the tutorial really was helpful. Very easy and simple enough to follow through. And your dolphin sketches are adorable, incredible pencil-shading too.

Such adorable creatures dolphins are huh?

OMG! I love this tutorial! Dolphins are my absolute favorite animal and i draw them now and then, but only from a distance, now i can do some close ups!

Jozef-Szekeres [2006-04-21 03:55:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for keeping me sharp. You have an animators feel to how you describe all this information. This will be great inspiration as a backbone to the dolphin like creatures that will be in my new graphic novel that I'm working on. Thank you.

Hugs.
