I thought of drawing this because I knew that Christmas was coming up and I wanted to draw something and give it to someone as a gift. My sister and I used to watch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV show when I was a lot younger. I kept looking for videos on how to draw a Ninja Turtle on YouTube, but I couldn't find anything that I was looking for. Because of that I just drew it off the top of my head.
