  1. Step 1: The head

    Draw a long, low wedge head with a pointed snout on the left and a round back.

  2. Step 2: Big eye

    In the front half of the head draw one big round eye with a black dot and a white shine.

  3. Step 3: Smile and jaw

    From the snout draw a long smile ending behind the eye, then curve down to the bottom of the head.

  4. Step 4: Forked tongue

    From the snout draw a thin tongue flicking out left, splitting into 2 little points like a Y.

  5. Step 5: Pointy spikes

    Along the top of the head draw 4 small triangle spikes, from above the eye to the back.

  6. Step 6: Tiny nostril

    Draw a tiny oval nostril near the tip of the snout.

  7. Step 7: Scales

    On the cheek behind the eye draw 3 little U-shaped scales in a slanting row.

  8. Step 8: Yellow jaw, red tongue

    Colour the jaw under the smile yellow, and the tongue red.

  9. Step 9: Colour the lizard teal

    Colour the head and the spikes teal, around the yellow jaw, leaving the eye white.
