How to Draw Shy Turtle

Simple steps to draw shy turtle, based on what works in the examples above.

1 Sketch the body with one big oval and add the head as a smaller simple shape.
2 Add shell and small head early — these are the features that make a shy turtle recognizable.
3 Add the animal clues early: ears, tail, beak, fins, shell, or paws.
4 Keep it simple at first. Avoid making it look like a generic blob by giving the face and body different shapes.
5 Practice by drawing a shy turtle in Artbitrator, where you can also watch how other players approached it.

Tip: The most recognizable shy turtle drawings get shell and small head down early. Add those first, then refine.
