I love how in cartoon features are exaggerated, but none more so then when they draw babies all deformed and totally adorable. Today I tried my hand at doing that myself for the first time! Here goes!
Also, Happy Birthday Becca!!! 💜💜💜

PSA: Rin was correct about turtles being aquatic and tortoises being terrestrial. PLEASE don't EVER put a tortoise in the water! They cannot swim and will drown. You can tell the difference based on the shell and the feet. Turtles have more flat oval shells and they always have webbed feet. Tortoises have high circular domed shell and flat round feet. Remember, if you see a turtle or tortoise in the road and can safely move it please do so, they are pretty helpless against a car as are most animals. They were here before our roads, thank you kindly!

the formula for babyfing things is.. -the body is 2 heads maximum..(3 with the head) -big head, thin neck -big eyes, small mouth and nose -chubby boddy (usually the size of the head) -thin short leg, big feet. that's a base, with that you can change what you want depending on your style and the animal.. for example big feet don't always work with pigs, short legs don't always work with giraffes

as someone who has a lil tortoise, the first sketch you did was actually a tort, not a turtle! turtles usually have flat shells, while tortoises have more of a dome-shaped and circular shells. also, turts are aquatic and can be on land, while tortoises are always terrestrial; they never go in the water. and a turtle's feet are always webbed, while tortoises have a most flat and elephant-like feet. so yeah, just wanted to give a lil bit of info for those who are interested :)
