title: Let's show how creative you are:- Drawing - Tortoise

Hi Steemians, I am fine today I hope you too are fine. I am highly delighted to participate in this contest titled: Drawing - Tortoise.

Tortoises are reptiles that have a large shell on their back for protection. The shell also absorbs heat from the sun, which they need to survive as they are cold-blooded animals.
Tortoises live almost exclusively on land and live in different environments across the world. They move very slowly due to their slow metabolic rate.
Most tortoises are herbivores which means they eat grass, leaves, flowers and fruits. Some tortoises are omnivores, and these will eat insects and worms.

Facts about tortoises

1. Tortoises have very small brains
2. Tortoises lay eggs, and females will bury their eggs to keep them safe from predators
3. Tortoises are generally active in the daytime but sleep through the night.
4. Tortoises are the longest-living land animals in the world. Most tortoise species have a lifespan of about 80-150 years, but some can live for over 200 years.

My drawing equipment

• White A4 paper
• HP pencil
• Eraser
• Razorblade

STEPS OF MY DRAWING:

Step 1

I draw the shell of the tortoise and also draw other parts of the tortoise which include the head, the legs and the neck.

Step 2:

I divided the shell into different shapes and started shading the shell.

Step 3:
I completed the shading of the shell and shaded the back leg of the tortoise.

Step 4:
At this stage, I completed the shading of my tortoise. I first shaded the two legs and then the neck of the tortoise. Finally, I draw the eye, and the mouth and then shade the head.

Conclusion
This is all I have for this contest. A special thank you to @benton3 and the steem4Nigeria for organising this contest.
I invite @chinaza09, @nexcis, and luisito01 to participate.
