For beginners, before you start your koi fish drawings, make sure you get few koi pictures.

Why?

Even tough koi fish swims rather slow, yet, there is no way you can make it stands still posing for you for hours. Instead, you can learn to draw koi from koi pictures. Choose the one which is convenient to you. You can practice to draw based on koi pictures or photos. As practice makes perfect...

So, what you need to do before you draw your koi fish are:

1. a nice place to sit...because it might take you long hours before you finish your drawing.
2. a good art drawing pencil set consists of different grade of graphite pencils (B, 2B and 4B). Faber Castell, Mont Blanc, Bic or Steadtler are among the best art pencil brands.
3. Another thing you need is a pencil eraser and a pencil sharpener.
4. a light, smooth surface paper holder (preferably with a clip), and
5. of course, a piece of A4 paper (preferably a 80gm photocopy paper).

You can purchase your art drawing pencil set at your local art suppliers. Otherwise you can get it here...

If you already have all that is required, than you can start your koi fish drawings in pencil.

Create your own koi fish drawings based on what you see. Start with few basic pencil sketches forms as I've mentioned in my drawing pencil sketches.

Already have one? Hang it on your room's wall. I highly recommend that you scan your drawings of koi fish or at least take a few snaps using a digital camera and then store your images at any available free image hosting company like Photobucket.

Or, you can have your own personalized t-shirts from this koi drawing. Visit Custom T-Shirts to have yours... There is no minimum order required.

Okay, here are some examples of koi drawings that will inspire you to draw koi fishes.
