How To Paint Scales With Acrylic | #5 Iguana 31 Paintings in 31 Days

Scales are intense - repetitive patterns are hard to keep track of your place and challenging to paint, especially with quick-drying acrylic paint. Want to learn how I avoid mixing the same colours and repainting the scales a thousand times? Transparent paint is fantastic for this - it is a difficult medium to learn, but wow, does this Iguana provide the perfect opportunity to demonstrate why I am obsessed with it! This technique boils down to pattern first, then colour. 'One' thing at a time to save a TON of time. 00:00 Iguana 00:45 Benefits of Art Challenges 01:40 Contrasting the Main Subject 03:08 Marking Features 04:00 Scale Size & Direction 07:53 Arm Scales Using Chalk Markers 10:03 Painting the Dewlap (Throat Folds) 11:12 Adding Colour 12:40 Reptile Eyes 13:24 Head Scales 16:10 Crown 17:12 Spines 18:39 Wrap Up This Iguana took me 17.5 hours! That is crazy. I should have never attempted to include this animal in this detail for this challenge as it put me another day behind *facepalm. BUT we will persevere! Although fox has won the vote for next, I am thinking more and more I will selectively choose a few animals I am really familiar with to crack out and get caught up. Whales are my zone from last year ;)  Reference photography by Ramlee Ibrahim. ======================================== Come be friends!!
