Add facial features.
Draw the seahorse’s eye as a circle and the mouth as a short curved line.
Draw one side of the seahorse’s tail.
Continue the outline of the torso with the curved line, it will be the back of the seahorse’s tail.
Add the rest of the tail.
Continue the tail line you drew earlier. Draw the rest as a spiral and a straight line.
Draw the seahorse’s fin.
Depict it on the side of the seahorse’s torso. Use straight and rounded lines.
Picture the scales on the seahorse’s back.
Draw them along the back of the fish, using short rounded lines.
