How to Draw a Friendly Cartoon Turtle

This cartoon turtle is just begging for you to follow the steps below and bring him to life with your own pencil and paper If you've done some

of the other tutorials you should be familiar by now with making

simple shapes into cool drawings Nothing's changed with this drawing lesson so let's get started!

Step 1 - The Head and Mouth

The head and neck of this little critter may look a little complex, but really is extremely simple Follow the arrows in step one, starting with the mouth Draw a very small curve for the mouth - it should almost look like a straight line From there draw a curve to make the top of the head

This is just an upside-down "U" shape Continue the curve down to a point where the neck will eventually go into the cartoon turtle shell From this point draw a curve up to the first line you drew for the

mouth This line should appear to go under the top of the mouth and will give the turtle a little more personality

Step 2 - Add the bottom of the Shell

I don't want to baby you with the step by step drawing lesson here - just draw what you see Think of the bottom of the shell as a tube that

wraps around a ball The ball, as you will see in step three will be the shell At the point where the turtle's neck pokes out from under the shell add a little 'bump' to the tube Study the image closely and you'll

be fine

Step 3 - Add the Shell

Draw a curve that starts at about the middle of the turtle's neck and ends at the back of the shape you drew in step two There's nothing more to say here; let's keep moving

Step 4 - Detail the Shell

Add a bunch of shapes to add some interesting parts to the shell One thing that you should notice is that some of these shapes go through the curve that you drew in step three The purpose of this is that it will give the illusion that the details that you are adding are actually bumps

raised off of the turtle's shell

Step 5 - Add in the Feet

The feet were made simple by design To start draw an upside down cup shape Look at the front left foot Can you see the upside-down cup? That's the basic shape of the foot, and you'll all some details into that in the next step Once you have the foot, connect it to the shell of the cartoon turtle

Step 6 - Final Details for the Cartoon Turtle

Finally, the last thing to do! Add some lines to the feet to show the toes Erase the lines of the shell where the details were drawn on top in step four The eyes of the turtle are just circles The eyebrows are

simple curves - feel free to experiment with different styles of

eyebrows The last thing that you'll want to do is add a few little hairs

on top of the cartoon turtle's head to give him a little more personality You're done!
