Reptiles and Amphibians
Creating amphibian and reptile illustrations involves depicting complex organisms with a wide range of forms and sizes. Scales, warts, and glands are prominent features of their anatomy, requiring careful attention to detail in order to convey their sheen and texture. Both digital and traditional techniques—such as watercolor and Polychromos colored pencils—are highly effective for this purpose. Today, the visual representation of these animals is particularly important, as they are being severely affected by climate change and other global threats that continue to reduce their populations.
