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!)

Thank you! Yeah, the scales were a handful... But when you add the shading afterwards they really pop! I was quite amazed by it.

Thank you! It took me the better part of an afternoon and another one or two hours one evening. I started with the scales textures first, then added the overall shading. Seems to work well that way and pull all the detail together.

thats quite amazing Elly ...so much work on the detail!

WOW Elly! I thought this was a photo! You did those eyes so amazingly real....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. I always start with the eyes. That way, if I botch it, there's very little to throw away. And I think a good pair of eyes can really carry a picture.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm. That's interesting! I don't start with eyes, I do the outlines and then go back in for the details once I am satisfied with the shape of the face or body...cool to see how you do it.

Hey, whatever works! And in fact I do a rough sketch as well just to know where everything will eventually go.

Wow--the detail! Incredible work here! Did it drive you nuts?

Hee hee! I'll bet! I can just see your eyes crossing now. lol

Thank you! There were a few tense moments there when I was working on the dewlap... Had to get up and walk around the room a few times cause of all the little bitty scales. LOL!

Ooh, good luck on the home decorations. This is a really incredible image and I particularly like the color you chose for the job. I can't wait to see the gecko..what type of gecko are you going to draw?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! I'm not sure about the gecko yet: Tokees are nice, or maybe a crested gecko. Because of the lack of colors I need to go with really striking textures in the eyes and scales. Got any other good suggestions for me?

Are you planning on using the same tone for all your pictures, or are you thinking about using complimentaries also?
This little guy is my favorite of all geckos [link] 
I hope the link works. The gekko gecko has beautiful scales and markings and just has so much personality...are you sold yet? 
I'm sure whatever you draw will look incredible. Surprise us

Love him! Especially where he gapes/hisses! Such a cute, feisty little one. I think I will definitely go Tokee for the gecko one... Thanks for the link!

Thank you! It's a suede effect dark green paint, and the light cream paper of the drawings makes a great contrast. I'm very happy with it.
