How to Draw a Chameleon Face
Draw a chameleon face in 8 easy steps, about 6 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: big head.
Step 1: Big head
Draw a sideways head: round snout on the left, a slope up to a tall point, 4 bumps before it.
Tip Make the bumps small round hills, not spikes.
Step 2: Turret eye
In the middle, draw a big ring like a doughnut. Add a big eye inside with a dot and shine.
Step 3: Smile and nostril
From the snout tip, draw a long gentle smile back under the turret. Draw a little nostril above it.
Step 4: Curly tongue
From the snout, draw a thin tongue flicking out left and curling down in a hook, with a ball end.
Step 5: Helmet line
From the first bump, draw a long curve dipping down to the back of the head, for the helmet.
Step 6: Head stripes
Behind the turret, draw 3 curved stripes like 3 brackets, from under the helmet line to below the middle.
Step 7: Light green helmet
Colour the ring and the helmet with its bumps light green. Leave the eye white.
Step 8: Green head, pink tongue
Colour the rest of the head green, around the ring and helmet. Colour the tongue pink.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a chameleon face, drawn by you.
