Artist's notes:

gopher tortoise thumb The Gopher Tortoise was completed in 2008. Is is based on a photo by a Flickr friend called 'lakegeorgevacations.' I think it is one of my strongest tortoise drawings, and is one of the last North American tortoises I have left to draw. Check out all the other tortoise drawings I've completed, and please feel free to make a suggestion if you don't see the one you're looking for.
