We're going to draw a very simple lizard. All right. So, our lizard is longer, then it is tall, so we're going to turn our sketch book to the side, horizontally.

And then we're going to start with the main element of our lizard, which is the body. Now if we draw our body too far to one side or the other, we won't have room for the head, which is also going to be an ellipse, or the tail, which is going to be more of a half arcing circle. Lizards have four legs, two at the back, and two at the front.

It has two eyes, usually they're big. Better to see you with. And this is a happy lizard, so we'll give it a big smile.

Two nostrils. Ellipse for feet. We can thicken our legs up a little bit.

All right. And maybe even some eyebrows to go over the eyes.
