Seahorse Drawings


Have a look at this unusual creature and have a turn at doing seahorse drawings.

It doesn't hurt to experiment and try drawing every subject that you see.

I find that has helped me tremendously, I'm not afraid to draw anything.

That doesn't mean they all look good, but, I've had a go and that's the main thing.

It's all practice.

Here is an outline of a seahorse, should you want to use one for practicing.

Seahorse Oultine

My mum came for a visit over the holidays and did a couple of drawings of seahorses for me.

I thought they were so good, how could I not use them?

Plus, it gives me extra time to work on my other drawings for you. Thanks Bessie! (Mum's nickname.)

Seahorse Details

Seahorse Drawing

Okay, now for some information about the seahorse.

The seahorse was given that name because it was thought it's head resembled a small horse head.

It has a long snout and prominent eyes.

The body is about 5 inches long (13cm).

It's armour-like skin protects it.

The long tail can curl around plants to give him something to cling to.

He is a weak swimmer so he mainly swims along on the currents.

The lifespan of a seahorse is about three years.

He looks a bit pre-historic I think. That's a very interesting little sea creature.

The main features of a seahorse are the coronet and the dorsal fin.

Have a look at this drawing below. Did you notice how putting some shading around the drawing has made a difference?

You can experiment with shading and putting shadows in. You'll find your pencil drawings will come alive with more character.

I hope these seahorse drawings are of use to you and give you the inspiration to do drawings of seahorses for yourself.
