I drew my bearded dragon, Mushu, to connect with him more and learn about his body. I focused on his curves, textures, and movements using graphite. Drawing him helped me pay attention to details and be patient. This work is both a study of his physical form and a way to show care and connection to him as a living presence in my daily life. I wanted to show the quiet bond I have with my pet and explore shapes and patterns that feel personal.
