Need more help? In the full video version of this tutorial, I show you exactly how I draw this sea turtle step by step, with more explanations and tips than I had time to cover in this article. I hope you had fun while drawing yours too! It was a lot of fun drawing this sea turtle. Once you are more comfortable drawing a sea turtle, you should find it easier to draw other animals that are similar.

Start off by sketching basic shapes to establish the general proportions and positions of the head, neck, shell, and flippers.Try using a reference photo while you draw the sea turtle so you can be sure to include its realistic traits for an accurate representation.The next time you wish to create a realistic sea turtle drawing, here are a few reminders:
