Step 1: Draw a circle for the tortoise's head and two lines on one side for the neck. Make the top line a little shorter to leave room for the shell.
Step 2: Add two circles for eyes, two small lines for nostrils, and a curve with a divot at the bottom for the mouth.
Step 3: Now draw a tall curve for the top of the tortoise's shell and three sets of parallel lines on the bottom of the shell. Then draw a small curve for the belly.
Step 4: Add two front legs. These are thick and sturdy to hold the heavy shell. Draw a few half circles on the bottom of each leg for toes.
Step 5: Next, draw the back legs in the second empty space. Add half circles for toes to these.
Step 6: Don't forget to draw circular spots on the shell for texture. Draw a short tail in the back.
Step 7: Congratulations on finishing your tortoise! Give it a green or grey color on the shell and body!
