I don’t really like lizards and I’m certainly afraid of touching one or even the idea of them falling on me. However, there are many people who love them so much that they keep them as pets.

Reference

In case you need it, here’s a reference you can use to study and look at when learning to draw a lizard. In this drawing, we’ll begin by drawing the head and then we’ll draw the rest of the body and include the details last.

Steps For Drawing A Lizzard

Step 1

Start by drawing the head of the lizard. You can do this by drawing a triangle sort of shape and then draw a line for the mouth.

Step 2

Next to the head, draw an uneven curved line for the body of the lizard.

Step 3

Now at the bottom of the lizzard, draw the first arm as I have done over here.

Step 4

Then draw a curved line from the line of the arm all the way down. Leave a bit of space and draw another line going down to meet this one so that it creates the tail at the end.

Step 5

Then draw the back legs of the lizard and join it to the previous line. Don’t forget to draw a line for the branch that it is sitting on.

Step 6

All that is left to do is to draw the eyes at the front of the head and your lizard drawing is now complete.

This will be the right time to color your drawing in with a nice shade of green and you’re done.
