How To Draw a Leopard Gecko

The first step to drawing a leopard gecko is to make your fade circles. Remember to make one for the head, two for the body, two for the tail, six for the legs, and four for the feet.

 Then you trace your lines to get your basic shape.

Then you will add the pattern for the leopard gecko (I changed the snout from step two). I made the pattern of this  leopard gecko resemble my pet leopard gecko, Savannah.

 Then color in the eyes, lines, and spots black.

 Next you will color in half of the tail bands your dark brown (When I say half I mean leave a band between each dark brown one).

Then color in the back lines light brown (I also did the spot near her tail light brown, since that is what my leopard gecko has).

Then color in most of the body and head yellow (including the legs and feet).

 Then you will color in the eyes (depending if you have a leopard gecko or not, and would like it to have the same eye color as yours) green.

Then sign your picture, I included her name on it adding yellow, orange, and light brown grass. All leopard geckos look very different, so they will not all look like this.

Drawing Objects #2

 If you are drawing an animal, you start by drawing very faint circles on your paper for more circular parts (such as on mine I did the head, snout, chest, thigh, legs, paws, and tail).

 Next you will add more detail to your object (like making the actual outline).

 After step one and two you will add extra detail (this is only for those who want a better looking drawing).

 Next, (if you object is an animal) color in the eyes and nose. Try to leave a white dot in the middle of the eye for light reflection.

Then compare it to the object that you were drawing (I signed my picture after taking the picture).

Dogs

For today's post I drew three dogs. I drew a Shih-tzu, a dalmatian, and some kind of mutt. Knowing your dog breeds can help you draw them better. Like if you thought that a Shih-tzu was an athletic dog, you might draw it jumping for a Frisbee or running. Do you know which one is your favorite?
