Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Cute Starfish
How to Draw a Great Looking Cute Starfish for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin by drawing a curved line like a rounded, upside down letter "V." Notice how the edges of the "V" flare outward. This forms the first arm of the starfish.

9. Give the starfish additional texture by drawing protrusions at the sides of the body. Use one or more curved, "U" shaped lines for each. Erase guide lines as necessary.
Color Your Cute Starfish Drawing
10. Color your starfish. This animal comes in a wide range of colors. For example, the leather star is white with orange spots. The morning sun star is pink and yellow. The royal starfish is a deep purple or blue with orange edges. The Pacific blood star is bright red, and the blue sea star is, as its name suggests, blue in color. Be creative!

Learn More About The Cute Starfish Drawing
Starfish, also called sea stars, are ocean dwelling animals. They live all over the world, from tropical coral reefs to frigid polar ice caps, from the seashore to the deepest abysses.
They are ancient animals, appearing long ago in the fossil record. Starfish are predators; although they move slowly, they hunt other animals such as corals or molluscs.
Many sea stars have five arms, as in our drawing, but others have six, seven, ten, or fifteen arms. Starfish can regrow a lost arm; some can even grow into two separate individuals if cut in half.

The starfish in our drawing guide resembles Peach from Disney's Finding Nemo (2003), who was often seen sticking to the aquarium glass.
Did you know? The starfish does not actually have suction cups on its underside. Instead, it has "tube feet." Tube feet use chemicals rather than suction to adhere to objects.
Other famous starfish include Patrick Star from Nickelodeon's animated series, Spongebob Squarepants.
Starfish are also frequent design features in art, decor, clothing, and accessories.
