Seahorses—In Progress

After importing the scanned pencil drawing into Photoshop,
I began to build vector layers to add color.
 I tend to work in vector when I don't know how I will use the finished illustration.
 Should I bring back the heart?  I am not sure it needs to be there.  

Seahorses—Sketch

I confess. I am not as terrified of seahorses as I am of other creatures. You can't deny their innate strangeness though. These are not the cute comic steeds that mermaids ride around on. However, they are social and anchor themselves with their tails. As the heart hints, I think they may be at least symbolic of love. So this is an easy place for me to start. I do promise to move up to hammerheads and stingrays long before I am comfortable doing so.
