Introduction
Did you ever look at a seahorse, live or in picture, and wanted to draw it? I know that may sound unusual, but trust me when I say this – I’ve always wanted to know how to draw a seahorse. There’s just something about them… something majestic that’s always grabbing my attention. Of course, like many, I was confused as to how I could manage to draw a flawless image of a seahorse. And that’s when I started doing my research.
In my research, I’ve found that the best way to draw a seahorse, is by first studying its structure, and then deciding on the type of paint you’re going to use. After you’re done working these two things out, all you need to do is, well, paint! You can explore various aesthetics and coloring patterns as well, depending on the style you’re aiming for. Still confused as to what I’m going on about? Well, check out these tutorials I’ve discovered during my research, and you’ll figure things out by yourself.
