Start by making a slightly flattened circle for the King's head. Next, lightly sketch a pair of crossed lines on it to serve as a guide when you draw his face. Then, make a large oval for Kelpbeard's body. Finally, add the King's tail to the back of his body shape.
Now, draw the King's arms. His right arm (which is on your left) is bent, and he's going to be holding his trident in his left hand (on your right), so his left arm should be raised. Lastly, add his fist to his left arm.
It's now time to give Kelpbeard his royal attire. Begin by drawing his crown on top of his head, and then start working on his robes. Be sure to give them plenty of thick fur trim. Finally, add his tail fin to the end of his tail.
Use the guide lines you made in the first step to draw the King's eyes. Next, begin adding some small fins to Kelpbeard's head. Then, put his trident in his left hand (which is on your right) and draw his right flipper (on your left) coming out of the sleeve of his robe.
Give your drawing some more detail by adding a bit of decoration to the King's collar, giving him a beard, and dividing the shape you made for his tail fin into two pieces.
It's now time to finish drawing Kelpbeard's face. Add some more detail to his eyes and give him some bushy eyebrows. Then, draw his mouth and make a short curved line in the middle of his face for his nose.
At this point, erase any extra lines you might have on your drawing, and then add a few lines to Kelpbeard's tail to give it that Koi look.
Give the trim on the King's robes some furry texture.
Finish drawing the King's coral-like crown and add some more kelp leaves to his robe, along with some thin, feathery fins for his head.
Erase your extra lines. Then, give the King's beard some texture. Finally, add more definition to Kelpbeard's right arm (which is on your left) and lower body.
Next, refine the shape of the King's left flipper (on your right) a bit.
Now, finish making the King's trident.
Your drawing is almost complete! Erase any remaining extra lines you might have.
Give your drawing of King Kelpbeard some colour, as well as plenty of shading and texture to make it look especially realistic. Does your picture look like it could command the armies of Maraqua?
