This started life as the exercise below which was some figure drawing practice.  I attempted to take it a little further then realised how hard it would be for me .  Left for a few weeks then went back and resolved to finish it in some way.  It was difficult and a real stretch but I have found that that has been the best way for me to learn so I got to be prepared to fail.  I like the colours in this and some of the treatments but this really brings home how much I have to learn.

There are lots of other great lizard photos there so check them out.
