This reference was great because you see 4 out of the 5 types of lights clearly throughout or form changes of the Iguana:
lots of strong highlights
blue half tones
the nice big core shadow of the neck sack
beautiful golden reflected light
Then there occlusion shadows around the cheek area.
Would be nice to render it further but I would have to get fiddly with scales. If I'm studying animals for design then that would be more appropriate such as the patterns on a Tigers face. This was a colour and light study. Definition will come later with another creative piece that I want to put more time into.
Even at the time of uploading this I can tell I need to punch in more chroma into the reflected light. Generally everywhere as well.
