Complete The Gecko Drawing
Let’s add some color to our gecko drawing! First, use a black crayon to fill in the eye. Add some shimmer to the eye using a white crayon. Next, color the underbelly using a yellow crayon. Now, shade the gecko’s body mainly with a green crayon. Add some hints of blue on the tips of the gecko’s feet and above its eyes. Finally, draw the patterns on the gecko’s head and body using a vibrant shade of orange.
