The Fish Base
The next post I planned to be another simple origami dragon tutorial. However, since this dragon begins from an origami pattern other than bird base, I decided first to make a tutorial about making this pattern, the fish base. It is one of the basic origami start patterns, so it is useful to remember it. Don’t worry newbies, there is nothing complex here 
We will start with a simple square and a diagonal fold.
The second diagonal fold.
Pull and fold the left and right corners towards the center to form a kite.
Unfold the kite...
...and rotate it 180 degrees.
Fold the right side of the kite.
Unfold it.
Now fold the left side of the kite.
And unfold it too.
Start folding the right part of the top kite.
Start bringing the right side of the bottom kite as well.
Bring them closer.
Stabilize the rabbit ear you have got.
And crease it up.
Like so.
Now repeat the same with left side, and you have got yourself a fish base
