Learn More About The Cute Turtle Drawing

Sea turtles live underwater and use their flippers to swim. Learn how to draw a cute turtle with a friendly smile.

This sea turtle drawing guide features a simplistic style with only a few precise details. While the face might look complex, if you look closely, you'll see that circles, hills and wavy lines are all you need. Lines on the shell make the surface appear textured.

The turtle appears to hover on the page, suggesting that it's floating in the ocean. For an extra challenge, you could fill in the background with blue and draw fish, seaweed or coral in the waters.
