How to Draw Raphael Ninja Turtle

1. Begin the Raphael Ninja Turtle outline with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle face drawing. Use curved lines to draw the eyes, and shade the round pupils inside them. Draw a curved line below them for the wide nose.

Then, use curved lines to draw the mask over the eyes. Finally, use a long curved line to enclose the oval-shaped bottom of the face. Within it, use curved lines to draw the grimacing mouth.

2. Use a curved line to enclose the round top of the head above the mask. Use overlapping curved lines that meet at points to draw the ends of the mask. Then, use overlapping curved lines to draw the neck and the muscular shoulders and upper arm.

3. Draw the sais, erasing as necessary. Draw a triangle for the central baton, and use curved lines to create the "C" shaped set of prongs. Then, use overlapping curved lines to draw his fist grasping the handle of the weapon.

4. Use curved lines to enclose the cylinders of the weapon's handle. Draw two curved lines to complete the arm with a wrist band. Use a long curved line to begin the carapace or belly, and a series of overlapping lines for the remaining arm and arm band.

5. Use overlapping curved lines to draw the remaining fist, then draw the sais in its grasp. Enclose a pointed "C" shape and a triangle above the hand, and a small, rounded rectangle below it.

6. Draw a circle in the middle of the belly and extend two lines from each side of it. Draw two sets of lines below it, and connect each set with a "V" shaped line.

Then, draw a curved line parallel to the carapace and use shorter lines to contour the chest muscles. Enclose the rest of the carapace between the ribbons. Draw a pommel on the end of the second sais.

7. Draw a bold letter "R" in the middle of the circle. Draw lines parallel to the edge of the carapace and down its middle. Draw the side of the torso, upper leg, and band around the knee. Contour the leg muscle with curved lines.

8. Extend a long curved line from the knee band and double it back on itself to enclose the leg and foot. Then, draw the remaining leg, knee band, and foot.

9. Draw the shell on the turtle's back, using intersecting lines to create the pattern. Contour the neck, muscles, and fabric with curved lines.
