Doodles with the Indian Star Tortoise

So where do I start with this one? Having spent the evening procrastinating about how to start or what to draw, I finally decided to just go with an animal I am fond of, as well as being a creature I would consider developing into a story. I drew an Indian Star tortoise using comic markers and watercolour pencils. Why did I choose a tortoise? Well, it’s an animal I have grown up with and in recent years he has become an escape artist. He has escaped from his enclosure at least three times now to go off on his “gap year” as we have come to call it here. He will often turn up at the bottom of someone’s garden up the road (at least a third of a mile away last time!). Could make an interesting story?
