Step 1:
Use the Drawing guide below to draw your chameleon with a lead pencil.


Step 2:
Outline your finished chameleon with a black permanent marker.



**Optional step**
Give your chameleon some quirky personality by adding some accessories!



Step 3:
Use oil pastels (or alternative) to colour your chameleon. Think about a colour scheme. It could be warm colours, cool colours, complimentary colours, rainbow colours etc. Use some browns and ‘earthy’ colours to colour your branch.



Step 4:
Add some simple patterns into your background.



Step 5:
Use inks (or an alternative) to colour your background.



Alternative Materials Approach:
As an alternative to inks and oil pastels, use any of the alternatives listed at the start of the lesson. If you have no colours available, make it into a detailed Black and White artwork instead. Focus on creating patterns either within the chameleons body or into the background.
