Sea animals in pencil: a shark, a sea turtle, an octopus with a pearl, a dolphin, a jellyfish, a whale, a seahorse and a crab. They are simple line drawings, easy to copy into a sketchbook.
Start with the outline in an HB pencil, then add the shell pattern, spots and shading with a soft pencil. You can color the drawing later.
