Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Lizard" video after each step to draw at your own pace.

For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw a long, slanted oval as a guide for the lizard's body. It doesn't need to be perfect. It's just a guide.

Step 2: Draw a smaller, slanted oval above and to the right of the first as a guide for the lizard's head.

Step 3: Inside the head, draw two intersecting lines. These are guides that will help in placing the lizard's facial features later on.

Step 4: Draw two curved lines that connect the lizard's head to the body and form the neck.

Step 5: Draw three short, angled lines underneath the lizard's body as guides for the legs and feet.
