The point is to draw a convex body with fins and an elongated "nose". Draw this simple lines of the body, head and the tail at the first step.

2. Draw the lines of the tail and the fins

Now add some more lines like here. It is not necessary to draw the initial lines perfectly because you will correct them or erase afterwards. The point is to mark the body and the head’s proportions.

3. The outline of the body, the head and the fins

Make sure that all the proportions are precise and connect all the parts of the body with the tail. Draw a line dividing the tail in halves with a smooth solid line. If there are straight lines left on the drawing you’d better bend them a little. The dolphin looks gracefully. The fins should not be too big or too small. Try to draw them as precise as you can. Draw the upper fin first then two side fins and then the tail fin divided in halves.
