Wow, that is amazing That must have been an enormous job, all those scales It looks so very real Love the eye as well, these animals look quite strange if you look close, even the eye seems to have scales I love the shiny silvery look of the scales

There's a tutorial (not that you need it - your drawing is just perfect) how to draw an iguana in the new Coloured pencil magazine, I just thought it was funny when I saw it, knowing you just drew something similar (I hope I'm not offending anyone by saying geckos are similar to iguanas )

I want them both as well now So you actually get the printed version ? I get the digital copy, I thought it was quite expensive to have them sent here. I will go and print them out though, I've noticed I don't do anything with them when they are just some document on the computer, I need real paper

shirls-art In reply to AnnemiekedW [2012-10-03 13:21:12 +0000 UTC]

ha yes they are my treat to me each month[for working so hard] ill buy a current issue plus 3 back issues,[the printed versions]love them,i just started one of the drawing kits today,im not to bad with fur and eyes im just hoping to get better with choosing colours and using the right presure,so i hope they will put me in the right direction.i lost my christana tutorial on my old lap top luckily id printed it off.

That is really great I'm starting to regret having only digital copies - I don't know if they'll even look good if I print them out... There are so many helpful articles about how to draw fur, or things on black paper, I really have to go and print at least some pages, I just know nothing will happen when they are still in digital form
I was going to buy that tutorial the other day and saw you can no longer use paypal as a guest, and I don't want a paypal account, so I left a message, but of course I never heard anything....

So beautiful! And the amount of detail! I'm always in awe of people who can work at this level of detail; I've tried it myself and the piece has sat unfinished for months on my drawing desk... so I have major levels of respect for your art and your sheer unbridled patience, my friend.

One thing I would say, the little pink nostril looks a little flat, like it could use some shadow in it to make it seem more like a hole and not just a little sticker stuck on his nose, but other than that, this is a magnificent piece. And did I mention how I admire your patience for sticking it out scale by scale? That is incredible.

Scale by scale.....that took patience indeed. In my opinion, there is no right or wrong way as long as it feels right to you..... and the end result is this wonderful!
