Sketch a day: Lizard

Eastern Collared Lizard...

The common name "collared lizard" comes from the lizard's distinct coloration, which includes bands of black around the neck and shoulders that look like a collar. Males can be very colorful, with blue green bodies, yellow stripes on the tail and back, and yellow orange throats. There are five recognized. Nick named the Mountain Boomer.
