This particular type of crocodile thrives on the Riviera, you can see them lurking around beaches and pools.

A very loose sketch with just a pen and a very quick wash done during our “coffee outing” in the mountains. You can see that the lines are sometimes not in the right place and of course with a pen you can’t erase these lines.
