Seahorse Underwater Colored Pencil Drawing

This original hand-drawn artwork features a detailed seahorse as the central subject, rendered on a spiral-bound sketchpad page. The medium appears to be colored pencil, utilizing a layering technique to create depth and texture. The seahorse is depicted in shades of pale yellow, cream, and peach with hints of green along its dorsal fin, showing rhythmic anatomical segments and a curled tail. It is surrounded by lush green and pale yellow aquatic foliage that fills the lower half and left side of the composition. The background is a solid, deep teal or turquoise hue, textured with vertical strokes to suggest light filtering through water. The artwork is contained within a top-spiral sketchbook with a black plastic or metal coil. The paper shows slight curling at the bottom edge, characteristic of medium-weight sketchbook paper reacting to heavy wax or pigment application. There are no visible signatures or dates on the front of the piece. The style is representational with an emphasis on texture and color blending, indicative of a contemporary hobbyist or student work. The overall condition is good, showing bright pigment retention and no significant smudging or tearing across the illustrative surface.
