Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing Michelangelo Ninja Turtle
How to Draw a Great Looking Michelangelo Ninja Turtle for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the Michelangelo Ninja Turtle outline with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle face drawing.
Start by outlining semicircles for the eyes and shading the round pupils inside. Then, use curved lines to draw the nose, mask, bottom of the face, smiling mouth, and dimple at its corner.
Drawing Step 2
2. Use a curved line to draw the round top of the head. Then, extend pairs of lines from the head and allow them to meet at points, forming the ends of the cloth mask.
Next, use a series of overlapping curved lines to draw Michelangelo's neck, muscular shoulders and arms, and the armband at his elbow.

5. Draw two ovals on the pizza to indicate pepperoni, and contour the hand with a curved line. Next, draw a circle on the belly. Extend four sets of curved lines - two that end at the sides of the torso, and two that end in "V" shaped lines. Continue the line of the carapace, then draw another curved line parallel to the inside of it.
