Tips from your teacher

How to color a seahorse with depth

Apply a gentle base first, define the direction of the light and add texture only once the body has form.

1

Light, even base layer

Cover the body with light pressure to preserve the paper’s tooth for further layers.

2

Shadows on the belly and curves

Darken the underside, fin joints and inside of the curled tail.

3

Final texture and highlights

Add dots, lines or small markings and preserve light highlights in the eyes, crest and fins.

Ideas for choosing pencils

Three palettes for an underwater world

Use four related shades and repeat some colors in the plants, bubbles and small fish to maintain harmony.

Tropical seahorse

Coral and yellow

Warm, cheerful colors to stand out against turquoise water.

Ocean seahorse

Turquoise and blue

A fresh palette for creating depth, aquatic reflections and transparent fins.

Fantasy seahorse

Lavender and pink

Soft tones for a kawaii character, bright bubbles and an imaginary setting.

Separate the body, belly, crest, fins and background before choosing the palette.

A simple process

Work from the body toward the background

Finishing the creature first helps you decide how much contrast the plants, water and bubbles need.

1
Choose the main color

Decide whether it will be natural, tropical, cool or completely imaginary.

2
Build the form

Add darker layers to the belly, tail and areas beneath the fins.

3
Color the plants

Use greens and coral tones that are less intense than the main character.

4
Add water and bubbles

Apply soft blues and preserve white areas for highlights.
