How to Draw a Turtle Shell
In this lesson I want to show how to draw a turtle shell. This lesson will be interesting and useful for each of you.
Here is a simple instruction on how to draw a turtle shell step by step. I developed this lesson specifically for children and beginner artists, so the instructions are very clear and accessible. You can easily cope with this task, even if you are new to drawing.
Turtle shell has a convex shape, it consists of a bone base and a horn covering. The shell reliably protects the turtle from any external influences, for example, it protects the turtle’s body from mechanical damage and protects it from predators. The upper part of the shell consists of several plates that form a beautiful pattern.
The skills you learn in this lesson are sure to come in handy in the future. When you learn how to draw a turtle shell, you can easily draw a whole turtle. So, take all the necessary art supplies and start following all the steps in this instruction sequentially.
