This is great.
You have really brought life to this lizard.
The detail is amazing...and you did an excellent job with his eye.
I can feel him looking at me.

WOW !! This is so good! Really really well done! It shows all the textures of this beautiful creature! I also love reptiles they are gorgeous, fasinating creatures, which you have captured very well! The lizard has amazing spikes on his back and his big boof head...its almost sort of cute =)Congratulations I really love this work and you should be very proud!

Comment from WickedLizzie
This is awesome! I love the details you have put into this, and drawing on the dark paper give is a much more realistic depth. This is AWESOME! I feel like I could almost reach out, touch it, and get my finger bitten for my troubles. :)

I drew on white paper actually, but thank-you regardless. I am very thankful for the response this drawing has received, so thanks again. Oh, and he doesn't bite. I promise. ;)

Comment from holly
What an amazing drawing, some people think drawing is just the beginning of a painting or a watercolour, but you have shown that with a lot of hard work and especially with a clear eye you have shown that this is not true.
The drawing stands by itself as a piece of art, you must really have looked very, very well at the lizard.

Well, I'm very glad that I've shed some light on your perspective of drawings. They are in a category all their own, and it does take a lot of attention to detail. Thank-you so much for your review.

Comment from Scarey
I have to say I'm not a big Lizard lover, until I saw this one of course... Can't believe you only took 2 days to complete this picture... The light and shading is fantastic and if I didn't know it had been drawn I would have thought it was a photograph... Great work, love it...

I think this is an excellent and well drawn piece of art. The shading is done especially well; it adds dynamic to the character and really brings him to life. A realistic and enjoyable piece...

Masterfully executed drawing..this makes my pencil drawings look like child's play. Also, thank you for going into detail about your methods, it was most enlightening.
