Drawing Taken From Amazing Photographer @ocrdu's Blog (WIP)

Viviparous lizards (Lacerta vivipara)

Ocrdu's Blog

I was browsing through my home stream here on Steemit a week ago and saw this amazing photograph catching the details of lizard scales. I went into bliss, yeah I am weird that way, I love details, especially if they have to do with patterns. I love drawing details, I leave time and everyday thoughts and just draw, like I am the pen and paper.

I spent the day drawing out the design to fit on my paper and adding details to see how they would flow. I think I found what I like and now I am inking in some detail before getting back to penciling in the rest of the lizards patterns. I don't know if I am going to go with watercolor or something else for color or just stay with pen and ink.

Have Some Fun This Weekend Steemians!

18 x 12 inches, 190lb watercolor paper, pen, and ink.

The scale detail you are creating is incredible. Curious to see what you do for a finished product.

I don't know if i will go with colored pencil or watercolor, I'm leaning towards colored pencil. I haven't worked with colored pencil for awhile and the medium is always fun to work with. I like to mix my media lololol

Lol, that you do. I was expecting you to say watercolor so pencil will be a nice surprise to see.

My pencils look so lonely sitting on the shelf all summer, I've used colored pencil with ink before and it gives an interesting look with a lot of detail.

They are calling to you. :)

Colored pencil and ink sounds interesting. The colors must pop with that combo.

Amazing creature and nice drawing:)

Thank you @torem-di-torem!

wow, it's really a fantastic work, @reddust ! I love the pics of @ocrude , they are always excellent photos! ^_^

@ocrudo always has the best photos ;-) Thank you @silviabeneforti!

Wow, cool! I liked it!

Thank you @stranniksenya!

so great the details in the eyes are on another level.

When I look into reptiles eyes, they remind me of my chickens eyes and chickens are very smart and can be loving and kind. Science says reptiles are cold and have no emotions, I don't agree. Just look at the light in their eyes!

heheh absolutely science has been proven wrong :D

@reddust,
Personally I don't like lizards :D But definitely I like this artwork :D Hope it will take time but you will bring an amazing water color painting at the end! Looking for the next post of your great work!

Cheers~
