Hand-Drawn Seahorse Illustration in Spiral Sketchbook
This item is an original, hand-rendered colored pencil or mixed media drawing of a seahorse on white sketchbook paper. The central subject is a detailed seahorse depicted in profile, featuring a palette of cream, tan, and light green tones with subtle pink highlights. The seahorse exhibits fine textural details across its skeletal plates and a curled tail. It is surrounded by lush green and yellowish aquatic vegetation, likely seagrass or kelp, which creates a foreground and middle ground. The background is a solid, vibrant teal-green color that stops just shy of the top edge. The artwork is contained within a standard spiral-bound sketchbook, as evidenced by the micro-perforated edges and metal spiral at the top. The paper quality appears to be medium weight with a slight grain or tooth. The condition is excellent with no visible tears or stains, though there is a slight curve to the bottom edge of the paper from handling. The style is contemporary and illustrative, showcasing focused craftsmanship in the layering of colors to achieve three-dimensionality on the seahorse. There are no visible signatures or dates on the front face of the page.
