Lizard Paintover

For this exercise, we watched a tutorial discussing 2D painting techniques, and we were then required to try out the method for ourselves in Photoshop. I found the technique fairly simple, and I feel that I'm fairly happy with the final result. However, I feel that I could have pushed the contrast in values a little further as I'm concerned that it all blended together a little too much. Also, next time I would like to make the metal more shiny and metallic, so that it can contrast more with the skin.
