Skinky painting

I was not sure where to post this, but I was bored and decided to draw a nice picture of my skink. I think It turned out pretty good considering i'm not a good drawer. So here it is:

Good job!!

I admire your patience to draw all the scales - I only ever draw the head scales, then do all the body scales some other way :lol:

Thanks!

Once i drew the head scales, i thought it'd look weird if i didn't do the rest. I did make them kinda too small though. Whole thing took me under 2 hours to do.

One thing I once did was trace around the end of an ice cream stick - the only problem with that being that you kind of have to draw your entire drawing around the size of the ice cream stick, otherwise they could be too small/big :D
