OK, we are going to make this cute tortoise!!
 
All you need is PSP!

1.  Open a transparent image of 120wide and 100 depth.
 
2.  Using color #773F15 draw the shell:


 3.  Using color #B39175 draw the body parts.... (I have colored them in red so that you can see them better!!)
 
 
4.  Using color #965E34 draw the under shell.... (again I have colored it in red so that you can see it better!)

5.  Select inside each part of the shell with the magic wand by holding down the shift key and clicking in each section and fill with color #9D5C2D.
 
6.  Select inside each part of the body (including the tail) in the same way and fill with color #F4DB6.
 
7.  Select inside each part of the under shell and fill with color #BB763F.

This is what we have so far:
 

To make life a little bit easier, I have given each section a reference No. as in this image:
