How To Draw An Easy Snake
Drawing a snake needn’t be intimidating. Even if you’re a novice artist, a few helpful tips and quick tricks can have you snake-drawing like a pro in no time! Here’s how to draw an easy snake:
Outline the body
Start by sketching the snake’s outline. Make two slanted lines intersecting each other, then curves connecting the end points of each line to form the snake’s body. A single curved line along its back should do the trick. To add texture, make a single line down the center of the body, or lightly draw sections of lines touching the body to mimic its scaley texture.
Add facial details
The snake’s head is an oval shape, and its eyes can be a few small circles like dots. Add a triangle shape for its mouth, and voila – the head shape is done.
Lay down the details
This part is kind of like painting by the numbers; use light, thin lines to draw the details and darker line for its shading. Small curved lines for its scales, V-shaped lines for its eyes, and smudges of darker lines to represent shadows.
Color it up
Time to make your snake come alive with color! Depending on what kind of snake you want, you can make it as bright or plain as you want. Shades of green and brown with rustic burgundy are always a favorite. Add lighter tones to the shadows and pop of highlights to the scales – and you’re done!
Flaunt it (if you want to)
Once you’ve mastered the basics of drawing an easy snake, there’s no end to the possibilities. Get creative: draw a king cobra, a coral snake, or if you want to go wild, a mythical two-headed dragon snake. Get ready to be the envy of all your friends!
Time to get started!
Drawing a snake is easier than ever – all you need is a bit of creativity and patience. Start by sketching its outline, then move on to facial details. Once you’ve laid down the details, get adventurous with color. Last but not least, flaunt it with a unique, multi-headed creature – the possibilities are infinite. Time to add a bit of scaly snake-y joy to the world!
