In a way the question has no answer. Peptide bonds don't "look like" anything, because they're smaller than wavelengths of visible light.

Structurally, they're formed when an amine reacts with a carboxylic acid. The amine group loses a hydrogen, the carboxylic acid group loses a hydroxyl ion, and the carbon and the nitrogen join. Unfortunately, it's not really feasible to draw the structure here, but any biochemistry book should provide examples.

Protein molecules look differently from one another. It really depends on the cell and what kind of protein molecule they need to perform certain functions.
