How to draw a Sea Turtle

Learn how to draw a Sea Turtle with illustrator, Shoo Rayner.
@maxoid101 asked me to do this. I was tired from a day out telling stories and couldn't think what else to draw today. I fancied drawing a Sea Turtle so I did!
With award winning illustrator, Shoo Rayner.

Best thing to do is to watch a small bit of it and then you pause it and draw it out

[@StephanieLisaTara]

Oh my goodness - this is a true marvel...I wrote a book about sea turtles - but did not draw them....this is WONDERFUL!

[@sozoshu]

wow, your drawings are always great and I like your style, but this one is a bit different yet is really amazing.

[@masonstephenson4018]

[@TropiChic]

I just got a jolt of joy because I'm from Guam! I have seen many sea turtles and can say that your drawing is quite realistic. Thanks for visiting our little island and sharing your expertise with our students. Hope you can visit again. Drawing along with you has greatly improved my skills. Thanks too for that!

[@michaeljordan-iy9yl]

This is so perfect and perfect timing, just trying to draw a turtle, got frustrated and as soon as I turned on utube there u were. Love this video. My turtles kept coming out flat, always have trouble with 3D projects. Want to paint an ocean sea with a turtle as the prime subject. Will keep practicing, thank you

[@shooraynerdrawing]

[@angelinamolina9283]

Shoo Rayner wow that is astounding that after 6 years u still come back and reply to comments. That shows u are a very humble person.

[@surfnsantacruz]

When you do these realistic animal drawings, do you use an image for reference? If you do, could you link the reference images in the description? (assuming you found them online) Awesome drawing by the way!

[@katieboomer2546]

I watch you at my school, i did your Tudor House :)

[@nguyenc512]

You should show us how to make a jelly fish to go with the turtle :D

[@Ever3j]

WHAT PENCIL IS THAT

[@shooraynerdrawing]

Rotring Tikky 0.5

[@tabataorellana3806]

Tutorial en español te lo pido x fa

[@mrsmonkeydoodle]

Favorite video. Would be nice to see an actual turtle before you drew him. I would emphasize observation of live animals or at least photo references. Easier to draw something if you know what it looks like. :)

[@TheMissglamqueen]

thank u this helped me wid my art btec work :)

[@lightningbolt61]

@ShooRaynerDrawing ok then I see what you mean thanks for the advice anyway!

[@Deathnotelover95]

[@melonsmash3r]

thanks! just saying you should make your videos a little slower, i think its a little too fast and if you cant make it in 1 video you should do another video with part 2

[@nguyenc512]

Mind telling them I gave ya a idea? *Chinh Nguyen* If you don't mind, i'll be happy if you do :D
