Seahorse Drawing

Now students can learn how to draw a Seahorse with enough detail to show off their amazing bodies, but not so many as to get overwhelming. This tutorial will walk them through getting the basic shape of the body down, and then adding all the spikes and fins. A few strands of seaweed and bubbles finish off a fun drawing. Here are a few fun facts about seahorses:

  • Seahorses are unique in that the male seahorse is the one who carries the young and gives birth. The only other animal who does this is the sea dragon. 
  • They have a swim bladder that is a tiny pocket inside their body.
  • Like other fish, they breathe through their gills.
  • Seahorses are named due to the shape of their head that looks like a horse.
  • There are around 54 seahorse species worldwide.
