Description
Video: youtu.be/PDGot_-mmYE Drawing the hunting mechanism of the chameleon, coloring with watercolor pencils and stippling on paper.
The chameleon uses his tongue, which can exceed the length of his own body, in order to hunt. They release the tongue with an acceleration that can exceed 40 g (4 times the acceleration of a jet) thanks to the hyoid bone and the elasticity of the tongue. The bone is placed between the lower jaw as an articulate linkage. In order to project the tongue they preload most of the motion's total energy into elastic tissues in their tongue. With the help of its sticky tip they catch their prey, mainly insects.
Tools:
-Watercolor pencils, Brush
-HB, Pen, Electric eraser, Cotton pads
-(22.9x30.5cm) (12"x9")

Chameleons having weird huge grabby muscle tongues bothers me on an existential level. Thank you for recreating it with such fantastical detail. Also the mechanic diagram is neato as well!
