    How to Draw an Iguana Step by Step

    Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

    You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below

    Step 1

    Start by drawing an oval. This will help you draw the head of the iguana.

    Step 2

    Draw three curved lines that overlap the circle. This forms the upper and lower parts of the salamander’s mouth, as well as its lower jaw.

    Step 3

    Erase the guide lines of the original oval. Draw a short line across the top of the jaw.

    Step 4

    Draw two overlapping curved lines on top of the iguana’s head, forming the eyebrows. Then draw several smaller circles in a row that interlock to form the eyes. The shade between the two is the smallest to indicate the pupil. Then, draw a small oval with a dot next to it on the muzzle to indicate the nostril.

    Step 5

    Use long and curved lines to outline the body of the salamander. Extend one line from the brow and the other from under the jaw.

    Step 6

    Use a curved line to enclose the wavy shape of the skin below the salamander’s throat.

    Step 7

    Extend the contours of the body using curves. Let the lines double below the body and meet at one point, forming the tail. Then, use pairs of curves of different lengths to draw the spines on the salamander’s back. The lines will meet at points. Note that the longest spikes are on the back of the iguana’s head.

    Step 8

    Draw the salamander’s legs, erasing as needed. Use pairs of lines to draw the front and rear legs. Note the overlap in the shoulders and the flexion of the rear knee. Then, enclose the foot using curved lines and narrow “U” shaped lines for the toes. Also note the front paws visible behind the neck. Connect the jawbone, front leg, and hind leg using curves that indicate the muscle bottom.

    Step 9

    Detail your salamander with a striped and spotted pattern. Wrap multiple triangles along the back and tail. Draw circles and ovals of different sizes on the head and back to give the lizard the scales.

    Step 10

    Color your iguana. Many iguanas are green, but they can also be gray, brown, white, red, or black.

    How To Draw A Lizard Easy Step By Step

    Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

     

    You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below

    Step 1

    When drawing an animal, starting at its head and working your way towards its legs is key. So that’s exactly what we’re going to do in this step.

    Draw the outline of the lizard’s head where you want it to face forward. For example, if you want it to face the left side, then draw a border on the left side of your paper, as shown in the illustration.

    Step 2

    Sketching a lizard’s head
    Extend the lines of the outline that we drew in the previous step to fully structure the head of the lizard. Don’t forget to draw an overlapping line on the bottom inside of the head to create the distinct pointed mouth of the lizard.

    Remember, both the upper lip and lower lip of the lizard should be slightly pointed. Use the illustration as a guide to help you form your lizard’s mouth quickly and easily.

    Step 3

    Create a rough sketch of the lizard’s body
    Draw an oblong oval attached to the lizard’s head to outline its body. In the meantime, don’t hesitate to draw various shapes and patterns on the surface of the lizard’s skin if you’re feeling a little more artistic! Did you know that some lizards have distinct patterns printed on their skin?

    Avoid pressing down too hard with the pencil when drawing the outline. It is important to sketch with light strokes so that you can easily erase some unnecessary lines from the outline later.

    Step 4

    Now let’s draw a tail attached to the body
    To structure the lizard’s tail, draw a narrow, elongated shape with a pointed end sticking out of the bottom back of the lizard’s body.

    Remember that the tail should be thick at the top and thinner and thinner at the top, as shown in the illustration.

    Step 5

    Then draw the right hind leg of the lizard
    Structure the right hind leg of the lizard by drawing an angled line with four toes visible at the bottom. Make sure to draw the legs at a 45-degree angle to look like a crawling lizard.

    Lizards typically have five toes on each foot. But in this case, only its four toes are visible. Remember that each toe of the right foot has rounded tips, similar to the illustration above.

    Step 6

    Now draw the left hind leg of the lizard
    Now, draw the hind leg on the opposite side by drawing a curved line with three visible toes attached to it.

    Since the lizard is drawn to the side, its right hind leg will not be fully visible, as shown in the illustration.

    Step 7

    Next, Draw the left front leg of the lizard
    Draw another leg in front of the lizard’s body. Similar to the back leg we drew in the previous step, the right leg is at a 45 degree angle.

    This time, however, the angle of the right foot should point towards the right, as shown in the illustration above.

    Step 8

    Complete all four legs of the lizard
    On the opposite side, draw a curved triangle above the space between the lizard’s head and body.
