Draw your favourite marine animal

We asked you think about your favourite marine animal, draw it and then send us your picture.

We had five copies of 'RYA Go Green!' - full of wonderful illustrations by Claudia Myatt - to give away to the winners. And here they are with an additional comment by the illustrator:

Sunstar by Chloe Munro (aged 7)

Claudia's comment: It's good to see one of the rarer creatures featured, and I do like the hard-to-find meter. It's a reminder that there are many more animals out there than we see regularly - and it must be especially exciting to spot one with as many legs as this!

Jellyfish by Maegan Spiteri (aged 11)

Claudia's comment: Here's a creature that scares us when we see it in the water, because jellyfish can sting. But this picture shows how beautiful they can be, with the tentacles drawn in lovely detail. There is a strong sense of design in this drawing.

Dolphin by Heather Standen

Claudia's comment: This is a strong picture, with a good feeling of the dolphin moving through the water. I like the way there are other creatures there too, and this artist could do well as a cartoonist - the speech bubbles make it fun. Is that a zooplankton talking to the dolphin? I like him!

Seahorse by Lucy Stephens (age 13)

Claudia's comment: This is a well researched and very carefully drawn picture with detailed colouring and shading. Many people don't know that we have seahorses in our UK seas, so we don't have to go to tropical countries to find them.

Shark by Daniel Kostine (aged 7)

Claudia's comment: This fearsome predator looks like he's just about to tuck into some lunch! There's a great sense of movement here with the waving sea grasses and some great attention to detail on his fins and gills.
