Artist’s notes:
The Marginated Tortoise was completed on 7.29.2014. This is about the twentieth tortoise I’ve drawn, having completed all species native to North and South America, I’ve moved into Europe and Africa and eventually will try and complete drawings of the Asian species as well. This drawing is based on a photo by Vincenzo and was used with his permission.
