Description (2011) 9"x12", pencil on paper.

This drawing is based on the amazing lizard photo of an anolis barbatus by



He kindly gave me permission to use his image as a reference months ago. It took me just so long to finally get down to drawing this superb little lizard. I think if any lizard species really manages to look like a dragon, it's this one.
