Chameleon

Chameleon Design note
Design note

First, I deepen my understanding of the chameleon’s shape and body structure by looking up images from various angles and watching videos of it moving. (For animals, I recommend slow-motion videos posted by National Geographic on platforms like TikTok.) After that, I make sketches and work out the rough proportions of each body part.

Next, to determine the basic structure, I try making a range of structures that can fold out a chameleon-like form—its distinctive head with prominent eyes, a long tail, and four legs. From those, I choose the structure that’s closest to the chameleon’s proportions (this time, the one in the second row from the top). The deciding factor was that it allows the tail to be folded out long. (This is a tentative choice, so it may be revised later.)
