🐟 How to draw a fish

The fish is basically a horizontal oval with a triangular tail fin – that combination is its trademark.

Step by step

  1. Draw a horizontal oval as the body.
  2. Add a triangle at the back as the tail fin.
  3. Draw an eye near the front and a small arc as the gill.
  4. Add a dorsal fin and a belly fin.

Tips for high recognition rates

Why these features matter is explained on the About the AI page: the neural network looks at the typical shape, not at clean lines.

Common mistake

Leaving out the triangular tail fin – without it you just have a horizontal oval that could be many things.
