Drawing Step 2
2. Draw an oval within an oval inside the eye, and shade between them to indicate the pupil. Draw two curved lines above the eye to detail the upper eyelid and eyebrow.

Drawing Step 3
3. Draw a long curved line around the eye to sketch the seahorse's head. Double it back upon itself at the front to form the snout and smiling mouth. Draw a short curved line at the corner of the mouth.
Drawing Step 4
4. Draw a curved line overlapping the mouth to form the lower jaw. From the bottom of the jaw, extend a long spiral line. This forms the seahorse's belly and its spiral-shaped tail.
Drawing Step 5
5. Draw a line from the back of the head to the tip of the tail, completely enclosing the animal's body. Then, extend a short curved line from the head. Draw another line meeting it at a point. This begins the fish's dorsal fin.
Drawing Step 6
6. Continue drawing the dorsal fin along the head, neck, and back. Use short curved lines that meet at points. Notice how the lines get shorter near the bottom of the fin.
Drawing Step 7
7. Draw another fin in the middle of the back. Use connected "U" shaped lines to form a scalloped pattern.
