Step-By-Step Images and Instructions
1.
Begin your drawing by taking a green pen, and drawing a curved line in the right of your page. At the end of this, bring another curved line down and across to the left, waving at the end.
2.
Now, return to the top line, and add a small “step” to the left. Then, bring this line across, curving down in a “C” shape, and ending with a spiral to create your lizard tail.
3.
Bring the top of the spiral across and up, and add two long, thin “arms” as you go along. Continue the line across to the right to join the pieces.
4.
Take a darker green pen, and add a series of small circles along the curve of the back.
5.
Then, use the same shade to add small ovals and circles inside the body of the lizard.
6.
Use the dark green to add a curved belly to the front of the shape, and fill the bottom of this in with the green.
7.
Continue the belly by filling in the rest with the dark green…
8.
And then add a long, thin “point” just below the “step” on the head.
9.
Next, switch to a lighter green pen, and add two more “arms” just in front of the first, with small circles at the ends.
10.
Add a large circle to the top of the head for an eye…
11.
And then use a black pen to add a wavy smile below this.
12.
Now, use a brown pen to add a long, thin stick below the lizard.
13.
Grab the black pen, and add a small “crescent moon” shape inside the eye.
14.
Next, use a yellow pen to add spots to the back…
15.
And then a green pen to add small dots to the face.
