Do you just sketch the turtle freehand? I'm a horrible sketcher, any advice would be awesome!

Hi Kristen! I used the grid method to sketch the turtle onto the canvas. I’ll link to a video showing you how to do this below. Or if you’re using a small canvas you could transfer it with tracing paper (I’ve just made a video about this which will be ready really soon). Would you like a line drawing for this turtle? I thought I’d uploaded one but I must have forgotten! But I can upload one for you if you’d like 😊 This is the grid method video: https://youtu.be/8drKVyN2ZO0

I would love a drawing! I'll watch that grid method. I've done it once for a truck but it was quite an adventure

I have just uploaded the line drawing to this post, if you want me to email it to you just let me know. I've also just uploaded a video to youtube showing you how to easily transfer an image to canvas etc. This works better on smaller canvases. This is the link incase you want to see it: https://youtu.be/tRiES5zEd-Y
