    One smaller than the other.

    On the bottom right side of the large circle, draw a larger, half fan shape.

    Draw a small one on the bottom left.

    For his signature small fin, within the big circle, left side, draw a sideways triangle.

    Lastly, draw two small ovals under the big circle. , Add two ovals in the middle/right side of the large circle, with one oval slightly peeking out of the side.

    Within each, draw a small circle.

    Just below the eyes, draw a smile. , Make sure to leave space in between.
