Learn More About The Baby Turtle Drawing

Sea turtles are amazing animals. You can add one to your sketchbook with the help of this easy, step-by-step baby turtle drawing guide.

Sea turtles are reptiles, just like lizards and snakes. They have scaly skin and lay eggs. They also have a characteristic armored shell.

Scroll down for a downloadable PDF of this tutorial.

Did you know? Sea turtles are different from “land turtles". They have flippers instead of legs. They also cannot draw their heads and limbs entirely inside their shells to hide.

This turtle might remind you of the young sea turtle Squirt from Disney's Finding Nemo. You can recreate your favorite scenes when you learn how to draw Nemo. You can add this Dory drawing, too.
