Watch out for turtles — it’s that time of year. Found this snapping turtle laying eggs at the roadside near the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and watched from my car. Drew her later with GraphGear 1000 pencils, Blu-Tack, and blenders. She knew that spot long before the road was there.

Graphite drawing of a snapping turtle viewed from the side in a small sketchbook, rendered with fine mechanical pencils. The turtle faces right with detailed scutes, textured skin, and a mossy shell. Grasses sketched loosely in the background. Cool grey tones on cream paper.
