For the next few weeks, I plan on redoing some of my old tutorials that weren't quite as good as they could have been (meaning that they looked pretty bad). So for today I am redoing a tutorial on how to draw a leopard gecko.
|
First start with the outline. |
|
Then add some curves for the eyes, eyelids, and sides of the face. |
|
Now draw the rest of the eyelids and two more curves to start the top of the head. |
|
Then another semi-curved line to connect the other two. |
|
Now draw the pupils inside each eye. |
|
Then, erase the excess lines on the face and add two more darkened lines on the sides of the face and connect them below. |
|
Now add the mouth, nose, and chin (I used the curved between the eyes to help position the nostrils although this step is not necessary). |
|
Now add some spots and patches on the face, except for under the chin. |
|
Then you darken the outline and add the beginning of some legs. |
|
Also erase the no longer needed outline on the front legs. |
|
Now make curved lines coming from the legs (the start for the feet) and a light line across the back. |
|
Add the front feet. |
|
And the back foot. |
|
Now make a swirled pattern on the back and add scales to the side (it is not a necessity but it makes it look a lot better). Also add the last foot. |
|
Now draw some spots on the front legs and shade between the designs on the back. |
|
Continue to add spots to the hind leg and draw lines and designs on the tail. |
|
Add some shading and then we are ready to add some color. |
|
First, you will do the pupils and inner eyelids black (you don't have to color it in this order, it's just the way that I did it). |
|
Then color in the spots with a warm gray (you could make these black, but I think that it looks better with the eyes being darker than the spots). |
|
Now add a light gray to the tail along with some brown for spots. |
|
You can do the eyes any color that you like, but I used a dark green. |
|
Then the yellow. I also added a light greenish-gray to the head. |
|
Then I added lime green to the eyelids. |
|
Now darken the feet and add any extra shading that you want. Normally this would be complete but since I was drawing mine from a picture that I took, I continued on from this point. |
|
I added some yellow since that is what the picture showed. |
|
Next I added a shadow and the rest of the background. |
|
Then after coloring in my picture, it is now finished. |
