[ wip ] Gecko (Patreon)

🦎idea sketch of Choco Reptile 

There are over 1000 types, so I was very worried about what to draw.

When I was a student, I wanted to raise one of them so much, so I used to look for their information for months. That time, due to my environmental factors, I couldn't raise them, but gecko is still one of my favorite reptiles and I have picture collection folder of them on my phone😂

I personally liked the web-footed gecko so much and I used to them as desktop wallpapers few years ago.

Anyway, from a long time ago, I've wanted to draw them well. 

I think it took a long time because the satisfactory character design did not come out well. 

As you may notice when you look at my sketching process, I fixed almost every sketch.😅

It looks like I erased it a few dozen times to find my favorite eye size and position and then redrawn it😂

Well, as much time took, it seems to have become one of my personal favorite paintings this year.

Sketch

At first, I tried to express the shape of the eyes in only two ways.

But in the end, each drew differently. I think one of gecko's attractiveness is that the eyes have various colors.

In the end, it's a little different because I changed a few lizard types and position a little, but it should be pretty much the same as the final feel.

Maybe one day, the little lizard would have evolved thinking that it now wants to fly among the trees???
