Here's my entry for @sparkyez Sketch Drawing Contest #6. The main rule is to stick to black pen or pencil - no colour! This is my kind of drawing, I love keeping it simple.

As usual, I've stuck to a small piece of paper (approx 10x14cm). I started by looking at a few photos of tortoises online, did a rough outline in pencil, then added detail. Here are a few pictures showing the rest of process once I'd started drawing with a pen (I forgot to take pictures from the start...)Â
