These creatures come with a mighty (and incredibly sturdy) shell that covers almost every part of the otherwise fragile body. The shell isn’t one big “block” but rather consists of several smaller plates. The biggest difference between sea turtles and their terrestrial siblings is the fact that they have fusiform bodies.

Basically, this means that the sea turtles don’t have the ability to hide their limbs (including the legs, the hands, and, of course, the head) into their shells and survive an attack. On the bright side, this body form allows them to swim easily under the water and reach their destinations faster.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
