Chameleon in Profile With Gems, Moon and Flowers

A chameleon sits in profile facing left, its head covered in rows of small round scales and one large swirled eye with a decorative petal-shaped lid above it. Its body is filled with patterned detail, including big faceted gemstones on the cheek and shoulder, bands of hexagon-shaped jewels down the back, and lines that sweep like flowing water across the neck. A crescent moon with small starburst craters sits behind its back. Leafy plants and large lily-like flowers fill the lower left, and the chameleon's feet grip a wood-grain branch. There is plenty of tiny work here, so it suits teens and adults who like fine-tipped pens or sharp colored pencils. Try coloring the gemstones in jewel tones, then shading the scaled head and body in a gradual shift from green to blue so it feels like the chameleon is changing color. This free page also works well for a quiet art session.
