You Want to Draw Fishstick? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
Fishstick, the floppy boi, the legendary lure launcher himself. This Fortnite OG might be a walking (well, swimming?) punchline, but there's no denying his charm. And what better way to show your appreciation than by immortalizing him in glorious hand-drawn form?
Before You Begin: Gather Your Fishy Arsenal
- Paper: Printer paper is fine, but if you're feeling fancy, grab some sketchbook paper!
- Pencil: A trusty number 2 will do, but feel free to experiment with different hardnesses for shading later.
- Eraser: Because mistakes are inevitable, unless you're some kind of graphite god (in which case, teach me your ways!).
- Markers, Colored Pencils, or Crayons (Optional): For when it's time to make Fishstick truly shine!
Step 1: Those Bulging Bug Eyes
Fishstick's signature feature (besides the questionable fashion choices) are his perpetually surprised peepers.
- Draw two large circles near the top of your paper, spaced a little further apart than you might expect for human eyes. Fishstick's got that whole "wide-eyed wonder" thing going on.
- Add smaller circles inside for his pupils. Feel free to get a little wacky here. Are they tiny black dots? Wild spirals? Flaming eyeballs? The choice is yours!
Step 2: A Mouth That Could Swallow a Small Sloop
Fishstick's impressive schnoz deserves some attention.
- Draw a wide oval beneath his eyes. Think of it like a comically oversized fishbowl mouth.
- Add another, smaller oval inside for his lower lip. This creates a nice sense of depth.
Step 3: The Rest of the Fishy Fellow
Now that you have the foundation, let's build our fishy friend!
- Connect the eyes with a slightly curved line at the top, like a surprised fish might have.
- Draw a smooth line from the bottom of the mouth, curving down to create the bottom of Fishstick's head. Imagine a fish's belly.
- Don't forget the hat! Fishstick wouldn't be Fishstick without his signature fisherman's hat. Draw a simple curve on top of his head, then another curved line coming down the side.
Step 4: Fin-tastic Details
We're on the home stretch! Time to add those details that make Fishstick, well, Fishstick.
- Add wrinkles above and below his eyes for that extra dose of derp.
- Draw a simple zipper down the front of his...suit? Jumpsuit? Whatever it is, it needs a zipper.
- Don't forget the gills! Add three small curved lines on each side of his neck for those essential fishy breathers.
Step 5: Time to Shine (Literally)!
Now comes the fun part: coloring your masterpiece! Fishstick's color scheme is pretty flexible, so let your imagination run wild.
- Classic Fishstick is blue and yellow, but why not give him a flamboyant pink and green makeover?
- Feeling fishy? Color him like a tropical reef fish!
- Disco Fishstick? Go for a dazzling array of metallic colors!
Bonus Round: Show Off Your Skills!
Once your Fishstick is complete, brag about it! Take a picture and share it with your friends, family, or the internet. You might just inspire the next generation of Fishstick fan artists!
