How to draw a tortoise

Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

 You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below

Step 1

Start drawing your turtle with your head. Turtles have very long necks, so draw two slightly curved curves below the head and leave them open.

Step 2

Now, give your face a bit of detail to make it look real. Draw eyes, nose and mouth. The nose should look like two small circles right next to each other.

Step 3

Next, draw one of the forelegs. This foot is even thicker than the turtle’s neck.

Step 4

Now draw the front leg of the turtle. Don’t forget, turtles have four big claws on each foot!

Step 5

For the next step, draw the turtle shell. If you’re in trouble, it’s shaped like a lemon – like an oval with small round tips protruding.

Step 6

Complete your turtle by drawing its hind legs and placing the details on the shell. When you’re done with your turtle, you can start coloring it.
