Just some scaly anatomy drawing practice. Yes, the "thumb" really is that short in proportion to the rest of the fingers.

You're coming at this a little funny. It might work for ya, but I started small. Really small. QED was barely over 2 inches squared. I did that because it was much easier to focus on detail that way. If you're trying to fill a whole page with detail, it's really intimidating. I suggest drawing smaller so you can draw in details without getting bored or intimidated by the workload. It helps with shading, too. You don't have to worry about shading a huge image.
That's my 2 cents.

Ooooh!!! That Is Great!!! ^__^ *Runs out frantically to look at a Mediterranean Gecko Foot* *Finally catches one* Yup ^__^ Looks Just Like it!! You did an Awesome Job Ian!! Geckos are so cool I love their feet their feet and how they can stick to things is so amazing!! No suction involved it actually has to do with quantum physics or something like that!!
(Working at Lewis & Clark College, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of California at Santa Barbara, and Stanford University, the interdisciplinary team:
* confirmed speculation that the gecko’s amazing climbing ability depends on weak molecular attractive forces called van der Waals forces,
* rejected a competing model based on the adhesion chemistry of water molecules, and
* discovered that the gecko’s adhesive depends on geometry, not surface chemistry. In other words, the size and shape of the tips of gecko foot hairs—not what they are made of—determine the gecko’s stickiness.)
So, Science has Finally Proven that Geckos are in-fact made of Awesome!!
