This exercise started with me choosing an insect/pest that I dislike. Later, we moved to understand what makes that insect creepy or fascinating to you. My insect was a lizard. I don't like lizards for the way they move or the fact that they can climb walls and ceilings without any effort and their ability to stay still for hours or move as quickly as a snake. The way their claws look or their streamlined body and even their regenerating tails, everything creeps me out. Anyway, I didn't know I had to study its form in more detail. It did gross me out on the first day but from the same moment, I was also learning new things about lizards which was weirdly fascinating.
How do the lizards defy gravity and climb walls? It has millions of small hairs on its claws which act like suction pumps due to vacuum and sticks to the surface
easily.
I drew some sections and zoomed drawings to explain the same. I also worked on creating a model for the same to show the texture and the form.
The surface of the claw has a lot of folds and the hair is not even on it, some areas have dense section of hair while some areas have very few on them.
