3. Remember that it is vital to understand about the importance of not reproducing or
copying the designs of other artists. Rather, just use them as a guide to develop their
own techniques and their own combinations of cross-hatching, X-ray and dots styles.
4. Obtain a piece of A3 art paper.
5. Draw a pencil outline of a goanna on A3 art paper. Use the image below to help you.

6. Draw pencil lines inside the outline as shown below. Then choose two different colours
and colour these on the goanna as a background for your designs. If using paint, wait
until the paint is dry before going on to the next step.
7. Using the X-ray technique, paint / draw some of the bones and internal organs on the
goanna.
8. Now use the dot technique to design your own patterns with colourful dots. Use earth
tones (brown, red, black, yellow, orange etc)

9. Now use a pencil to draw different types of lines and the cross-hatching technique to
add your own designs. You could be inspired by the Aboriginal artwork in part 2 to
assist. When the paint is dry, go over all the pencil lines using a black felt tip pen.
10. Sign off your name below your artwork and find somewhere to display it.
