Starter

I’m going to read you a passage twice, your job is to draw what you hear.

You’ll need coloured pencils too.

Passage

It walked on all 4s with large claws that could tear through anything. Its tail was long and whippy with diamond shaped end. It’s eyes glowed purple and its slimy skin was green.
