Viviparous lizards (Lacerta vivipara)

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

Tomorrow I set up the video camera and show you how I develop detail and depth with color pencil. Right now I have to start getting the chickens ready for canning.

Yesterday I figured out the color scheme for the lizard and today I added second layer of colors and shadows. I found out ink goes over colored pencil really well. No beading and the waterproof ink stains the wax, it doesn't bead and rub off!

I thought I would finish this piece up yesterday but my meeting with Scotfest took up most of my free time and today I had to butcher our old laying hens. I spent most of the morning skinning and gutting the old hens out. I am now cooking up the carcasses for canning and bone broth for this winter.

Hope your week is productive Steemians!

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.
