I will get back on track with another tutorial on a cartoon animal and it is called “how to draw a cartoon dolphin” step by step. The dolphin is probably one of the smartest animals alive on this planet which is why so many boys and girls love learning "how to draw dolphins". The dolphin is a favorite to watch at aquariums, and sea amusement parks like Sea World and so forth. I also like the killer whale as well because even though they are gigantic and sometimes dangerous, they are also very smart and easily tamed. One famous dolphin that stared on a TV series was called Flipper. I can remember watching a few episodes of that show even when I was small. Anyways this is a perfect lesson for novice artists who are looking to start learning "how to draw animals" in an easy way and still have them look good. I encourage parents, and teachers to print out the finished line art steps of all the cartoon animals and characters on the site because they are a great way to keep kids entertained and amused.
