Alaa KassemShare
Welcome to our exciting drawing tutorial! 🎨 Today, we'll be learning how to draw a Cute Jellyfish, perfect for kids and beginners. Whether you're here to watch a quick video or follow along with our detailed step-by-step guide, we've got you covered.
Jellyfish aren’t fish at all. They are mysterious creatures that are actually gelatinous, they have no spine and they are like jelly! There are fossils of jellyfish that are from over 500 million years ago, which makes them hundreds of million years older than dinosaurs! Jellyfish have bell-shaped bodies, arms that bring food to their mouth and up to 15 tentacles. A jellyfish's tentacles can have millions of very small stinging cells. These stinging cells release toxins into a prey, so when a human brushes a jellyfish, it stings because these toxins are going into our skin! Finally a jellyfish has no brain, heart or lungs!

Step 1: The Top of The Body
Draw a top of a bell shape for the top of the jellyfish’s body, draw small hairs on top of the head to make it look even cuter.
Step 2: The Bottom of The Body
Draw a wavy line at the bottom to complete the bell shaped body of the jellyfish.
Step 3: Face Features
Draw 2 eyes as shown, draw a mouth in between, with the tongue showing inside to show the jellyfish’s big laugh. Draw some tiny lines at the bottom of the body for some texture.
Step 4: Three Tentacles
Draw 3 snake-like shapes coming down from the body to make the arms or tentacles of the jellyfish.
Step 5: Two Tentacles
Draw 2 tentacles intersecting each other at the bottom.
Step 6: Another Two Tentacles
Finish the tips of the previous 2 tentacles as shown, then draw another 2 tentacles, with parts of them hidden behind the others.
Congratulations, now you can draw a jellyfish.
