Neck flaps, back crests and tail bands

These iguana drawings vary in both pose and surroundings: horizontal, forked and curved branches, a stream stone, a low root, leaf arches and two separate animals. The overhead drawing offers a different view of the back and feet. Compare the long tail curves before choosing a page.

White iguana on a brown branch with two green leaves. — A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.

1. Brown branch
2. Green leaves
3. White iguana

Fill the horizontal branch brown, working around the toes and tail where they overlap it.
Color both leaves green and keep their veins visible.
Leave the whole iguana white, including its dewlap, crest, feet and tail.

You can trace the iguana's outline against the colored branch. This partial study is a complete stopping point.

More selection and activity ideas

Choose a page

For a shorter session, look for broad body areas and only a few ground details. The scale-and-leaf page and fern scene include more small sections. To compare positions, choose the two animals on separate branches or the pair at rock and ground level; single climbing pages focus attention on feet and wood.

Try it together

On paper, alternate two colors along the tail bands, then use another shade for the back crest. With a paired page, repeat the same band sequence on both animals and compare their positions. Add selected pages to the print list if you want to print several together or make a PDF.
