[drawing] Freshwater turtle

I don't know which is correct in English: Freshwater turtle or Freshwater tortoise. 😅
Anyway, It's rainy season here these days and it's raining a lot, so I wanted to draw some freshwater turtles or frogs.
Turtles with long necks are so cute. They wrap their neck to the side of body. They look like small plesiosaurs.
Map turtle is small but cool looking. They have quite complex patterns on their shells and bodies, there will be a lot to think about when characterizing it.
I drew them once before. With pink diamonds.
Right now I'm constantly debating whether or not to draw the turtle's claws. I seem to think about this every time I draw a turtle. I think their claws are super cute! But also want to draw them as soft and simple as possible. When the picture is completed, you will see how I expressed it.
Thank you!

Haha, I'm glad they're not scary to you now. They're not around where I live, but I'd really like to see them.

Not that much, haha. But it is funny when the water is murky and you can just see its head and no body

I personally also love the claws, but I see what you mean about looking “softer” without them 💅🏻

ah! When I was researching about them, I heard from people that they are animals that people like or dislike. Haha, are you still scared of them?

Snake-headed turtles scared me as a child. 😱 I used to think they were snakes that had killed a turtle and were hiding in its shell. 🐢 Kids’ imaginations.
