3. Now draw the fins that along with the tail help the creature to swim against high tides. While making the fins make sure they are drawn in balance with the body. Do not draw them too far from the head.

4. Add further details to your drawing like eyes and mouth. For the mouth portion draw a U shape at front of the head such that the open side of U is facing towards the right.
