Step 3. Join two lines with a large circle and a quadrilateral.

Step 4. Extend the trunk lines, gradually narrowing them so that a wide tail turns out. Draw flippers on each side of the large circle. The seal rests on them when walking, so their lower part should be parallel to the trunk (as if the arms are bent at the elbows).

Step 2. A mustache on the face, large round eyes and a wide flat nose will revive our drawing. Close to the head, you need to draw fins, a bit like bird's wings. And from behind you need to picture something similar to the fish tail - this is the lower extremity of the seal.
