lizard drawing is a challenging task but if you follow the simple steps it is not impossible to learn how to draw a lizard. Like any other art, it takes time and effort to learn to draw and be perfect in it. In this article, I’ll show you some tips that will help you learn to draw lizard or any reptiles in no time.
To draw a lizard with curves and lines, you must know about them first and have a general idea on how to draw them. There are two types of lizards: true wild lizards and domestic ones. The difference is very obvious in their shape and in the way they walk because they have certain unique features that make them different from each other.
To get started in your lizard drawing adventure, the first thing you should do is to learn how to draw the head. You need to have a general knowledge about it because this is the basic foundation of your drawing. You have to understand the shape of the head and the position of the eyes. The next step is to draw the body in a perspective.
The next step is to draw the legs and tail. Keep in mind that you should keep all the body parts in the same proportion and the shape should be similar to the head. The last step is to add some details like the spots on the skin and the color of the spots. It is better to start with the upper part of the animal drawing and go down to the lower one.
For the next step, draw the lizard’s facial features. The first step here is to understand how to make facial expressions in drawing. It is a good idea to practice this a lot of times and take your time before trying to give an actual expression to the character. Next, draw the lips. It is easier to understand the details of the lips if you copy them from a previous drawing.
For the next part, draw the hind leg in the upward direction but make sure that the toes are straight and do not bend the knee. The other thing to consider is the positioning of the toes. Draw the foreleg in the upward direction and then the hind leg in a curve so that it looks like a pointed toe.
For the last step, draw the chest in the upward direction and make sure that the nipples are pointing upwards. Then, continue drawing the chest in a straight line until the snout is in the middle of the chest. This will give you a better view when you will be drawing the face. Start to do the head and then the face. When you are done with the upper and lower body, continue with the legs. The last thing that you have to do is to fill up the body with some more detail like the rib cage or the stomach.
Those are just some basic steps on how to draw lizards. I encourage you to learn more about this art because it is really interesting. It will also help you as you go on doing other kinds of drawings such as dragons, dogs, cats and flowers. Good luck!
Now, let us move on to the second step on how to draw a lizard. The next step is to find out what kind of habitat this animal lives in. The habitat determines the temperature, humidity and other characteristics that will be useful for your drawing. You can get more information on this from books or you can simply observe your own hand which is better since most of the steps when you are drawing lizards are the same when you are doing the other animals.
After you have found out the habitat, it is time to learn what kind of features your lizard has. Some lizards have only one set of legs, but there are also some who have two sets of legs, usually separated by a gap or a slit on their back. There are also some who do not have any set of legs at all, but they use their front legs to walk and some even have two tail flukes. The color of your lizard might also be determined by what kind of habitat your lizard lives in.
The next step is to learn about the characteristics of each of your lizard’s limbs and especially the claws. Curved lines indicate the claws, which is helpful in determining the thickness of the skin or scale. Next we have to learn about the head and eyes of your lizard. In order to draw them correctly, we need to know about the body of your lizard.
