2/2/2025 evening was a gorgeous moment because I saw chameleon for the first time in my life. Yes, chameleons are very very hard to set eyes on in my environment, so as I was strolling on our street enjoying the calm evening breeze I saw chameleon. It was an amazing moment to set my eyes on that beautiful creation. Returning,I decided to join this contest by drawing a chameleon.
From my research , I realized that Chameleon have specialised skin cells called chromatophores. This is the reason why they can easy change thier colour and blend with any environment they fine themselves. This animal has long, sticky tongue this helps them to catch prey in a lightning fast speed.
This is the animal that can live for 10 to 15 year, they eat fruit, leaves, and different insects for survival. The spend most of times on trees and bushes. Here in our environment we often refer them as the tree-dweller with excellent sight, their eyes is highly miraculous,they are large and they move independently.

Welcome to my drawing world
The first thing I did was assembling of my drawing tool and also use my ruler to draw out my working space.
In my second step,I use my pencil to make a sketch of two irregular line, which stand for a tress branches that my chameleon is sitting on.
In my third step, I made a sketch of the chameleon, including the head, the back,the leg, the hands and the tail. I also make a sketch of the tree leaves under his feet.
I continue my drawing with the completion of my chameleon sketch, I added more flowers leaf to it.
Since tree branches was the first in my drawing ,as such I started with colouring of my tree branches using brown color.
This point was the right time for me to start colouring of my chameleon, I begin with the colouring of the hands, feet and some parts of the body.
This was where the hectic work was in this drawing, I carefully add different color, using different colours drawing pen.
In this step,it was only colouring of the head, I use only three colours and you can see my chameleon look like one.
The next step was colouring of leaves to blend with the colour of my chameleon. At this point, I was extremely delighted to have a beautiful creation right before me.
I wrote my username and date I carry out this drawing.
Here is my selfie with my creation.
