Oceans have always been fascinating to people due to their abundant variety and alien features. Over seventy percent of the Earth's surface is covered by saltwater, yet some researchers have said that we know more about the surface of the moon than the ocean depths.
Marine biology is the study of the plants and animals that live there. About a million species are suspected to reside in the world's oceans. The smallest can only be seen with a microscope, and the largest, the blue whale, is the biggest creature to ever live. It outsizes even the mightiest dinosaur.
Animation often looks to the sea for inspiration. Notable examples include Finding Nemo, Finding Dory, Shark Tale, and The Incredible Mr. Limpet.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing an Underwater Scene
1. Begin by drawing a series of overlapping horizontal curved lines. These indicate the sandy seafloor.
2. Draw cloudlike shapes using connected "U" shaped lines. Then, from the tip of each bulge, draw a line downward to the seafloor or the shape beneath it. These form underwater plateaus.
3. Draw the staghorn coral, erasing as necessary. For each coral, use a curved line to draw many branches, and branches upon these branches. Use a single curved line and double it back upon itself many times.
4. Use curved lines to draw additional dunes of seafloor sand in the background. From the dunes, extend pairs of curved lines upwards. Enclose each set of lines with a wavy line. Then, draw another wavy line above it. Connect them at the ends with short, curved lines. On top of this, use inverted "U" shaped lines stacked close together. This forms an anemone with its stinging tentacles.
5. Draw some seagrass in the foreground. At its base, use a curved line to draw a small dune of sand. Then, extend pairs of curved lines upward, allowing them to meet at points. Erase as necessary. Then, draw some sponges in the background. Draw pairs of lines rising from the seafloor, and connect them using curved lines. Draw an oval near the top, then band the sponge with curved lines.
6. Draw another coral by doubling a curved line back upon itself many times. Draw another stand of seagrass, using curved lines as dunes at the bottom and allowing each blade to culminate in a sharp point. Draw small stones on the seafloor. First, draw a "Y" shaped line to indicate the depression in the sand, then enclose the stone using a curved line. Finally, draw a five-pointed star with rounded tips. This is a starfish. Texture it with dots.
7. Draw some fish. Outline the bodies of the fish using curved lines. Note the different kinds of fins they can have - some pointed, some rounded. Detail the face, and embellish the body with stripes or scales.
8. Draw a jellyfish. Draw the bell using a large "C" shaped line, the ends connected by a series of small "U" shaped lines. Then, draw many tentacles using curved lines. Allow some of the lines to meet at points.
9. Draw bubbles throughout the landscape, using a small circle for each.
Color your cartoon underwater scene. Use bright colors on the tropical fish and coral.
Then, learn to draw even more denizens of the deep, including your favorite characters from Finding Nemo and Finding Dory.
