I love to composition and using colored paper for this. As for signing it 2011, at least you're ready for the new year.

What I love most are the bumps/scales on the turtle. Hopefully you know what I'm talking about. I love how you shaded them and each on is interesting. The extra other colors in this really make the drawing stand out. Also, they all have intersting shapes. Lastly, I think its nice that you just did the blue around the turtle instead of creating some whole background. Not only does it save time but you let the colored paper do a lot of the work for in the background and the turtle. It's also interesting and it matches his eye too.

Wonderful job!

He's gorgeous! Nice work. I love how turtles and tortoises can look like grumpy old men. Grumpy old men that really have a heart of gold underneath the grumpiness...

I hope your turtle brought in some money to help your friend. I'm sorry to hear her story... I hope she is able to relocate.

Brilliant! But I am curious. I looked over your folder and a turtle is a departure from your earlier works. My wife says it reminds her of the "Disc World" series. What's the inspiration? Curious minds want to know!
