How to Draw a Friendly Cartoon Turtle

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. ... - tailieumienphi.vn
