First time sketching live animals at the San Diego Zoo!
These managed to be not moving too much, so it was doable, and I tried out some toned gray paper with a black brush pen and a white colored pencil. My favorite is the derpy axolotl!

a tiny, possibly neonate, painted bronzeback on a sprig. Little thicker than a USB cable, the snakeling inhabits an unruly hedge that guards a golf club and its civil contents from the ungovernable spirits of a still-wooded hill.

Pogona vitticeps, the central (or inland) bearded dragon, is a species of agamid lizard occurring in a wide range of arid to semiarid regions of Australia. This species is very popularly kept as a pet and exhibited in zoos.
Family: Agamidae
Genus: Pogona
This dragon is native to the semiarid woodland, arid woodland, and rocky desert regions of Central Australia. They are skilled climbers, and often spend just as much time perching on tree limbs, fence posts, and in bushes as they do on the ground. They spend the morning and early evening sunning themselves on exposed branches or rocks, and retreat to shady areas or underground burrows during the hottest parts of the afternoon.
Adults of this species can reach a total length of up to 60 cm (24 in), with the tail accounting for more than half. Sexes are not strongly dimorphic, but males can be distinguished from females as males have a wider cloacal opening, the base of the tail is wider, the head is usually larger with a larger beard and possess hemipenes.
