Description Drawing of an Iguana courtesy of this marvelous photo [link] by .

I will do a whole series of lizard drawings as part of a home decoration project. Right now I'm looking to do a cameleon, a gecko, a monitor lizard and a bearded dragon. Mr Malfoy is already fuming as he will be taking a back-seat over the next few weeks, but hey, my newly painted bathrooms come first! (At least I painted them Slytherin green!)

Oh the detail is amazing. All the different textures & shapes seem to create an almost abstract design/pattern. Lovely work!
& Slytherin green bathroom sounds awesome

Maybe its your reptilian complex in the brain that makes you feel this way....lol. Really, though they are fascinating creatures. I can sit and watch Discovery channel stuff on them pretty much all day....sad but true!

Absolutely, I use Krylon Spray-on Fixable, sometimes even while it's still a WIP if I'm happy with one area to protect it as I move on. Smudged graphite is the WORST!
