II. Step-by-Step Tutorial
Let’s begin with the step-by-step tutorial to draw a sea horse from scratch.
A. Basic Shapes
Start by drawing a small circle for the head, followed by a slightly larger circle below it for the body. Draw a small triangle for the snout, and a curved line for the mouth. Add two more curved lines to form the neck and add a cylinder shape to create the midsection of the sea horse.
B. Gradually Add Detail Until the Final Product
Next, add the details that give the sea horse its distinctive features. Draw two small circles for the eyes and add the iris and pupil. Add the dorsal fin, pectoral fins, and the tail. Draw curved lines to form the texture around the top of the head, body, and tail. Finally, add the ridges and bumps of the sea horse’s body.
