The anglerfish is one of the very rare sea creatures that are scary looking and notorious for their large jaws and sharp teeth. The very look of this creature makes one feel dangerous and aggressive.

Its dorsal fin acts as a fishing rod to attract prey closer to its deadly mouth. The jaws and stomach of the anglerfish are very retractable and the bones are thin and elastic, so they can eat food twice their own size.

Most species of anglerfish are poor swimmers and do not hunt quickly in the ocean. Some anglerfish that live on the bottom of the ocean even crawl mainly on their pectoral fins.

The anglerfish, which lives in the deep sea, has a rod that glows at the end. Many fish in the deep sea like to swim near bright lights, so these "fishing rods" become a lure for the anglerfish to attract food.

In today's drawing tutorial, let's learn how to draw an anglerfish, which looks a bit funny as it stares at its "fishing rod" and expects the fish to swim to its mouth.
