- When I'm drawing lizards (which I love to do and don't do enough) I always have a reference (or many) handy for the sake of anatomy, because lizards are tough.
I always start with an "egg" for the head, separated into top and bottom portions, then I add a line to make the neck (which varies from species to species in length and thickness), the spine, and the tail. For the body I just make a long, round, semi-flat on top (but rounded bottom) oval for the body. They don't have a lot of definition the way dogs do in the body, mostly just kind of flattish cylinders. The legs I draw each as two "sticks", going from shoulder-elbow-wrist, and hip-knee-ankle. Most lizards walk on the entire foot, like we do, so they have one major "bend" on each leg, plus of course the feet at the end.
For feet I draw a flat circle/oval, and just add little "noodles" at the end, with curved talons (though not all lizards have claws), and add in detail/boniness later.
Sorry for the awful advice, I'm tired and so out of practice XD
