If you enjoy sketching sea creatures, don’t forget to check out our dolphin drawing tutorial too!

Before we begin, let’s learn a few quick facts about goldfish. Their size can vary quite a bit based on their environment and type. In the wild, they typically range from about 4.7 to 8.7 inches, though some can grow as long as 16 inches and weigh up to 5 pounds! Goldfish living in tanks are usually smaller, around 2.5 to 15 cm (that’s roughly 1 to 6 inches), depending on the space they have.

Different breeds also have different sizes. For example, the Twisty Tailed goldfish stays relatively small, about 6 inches in length. Fancy goldfish can grow to around 8 inches, while the more streamlined single-tail varieties can reach up to 10 inches or more!
