Q&A for How to Draw a Snake

It depends on whether it's aimed at a particular person. If it is, find out if that person is scared of snakes. Most people scared of snakes will be terrified of huge ones. If it's for someone who isn't scared of snakes or not really aimed at anyone, try making it look dangerous. Give it larger fangs, more heads, and maybe something on the tail.

Just get a bigger piece of paper and draw each portion of the snake much larger than it appears in the example images. Get creative!

You slowly make the lines come together, not to fast though, or else it will look like it's got a stub tail.

You can just draw a squiggly line and add a head, or do whatever you think is easy/best. Get creative!

Make thinner lines and shorten the snake's body. If it still looks bad, try Googling some images for reference.

Nature is beautiful but complicated. Try tutorials on YouTube or tracing to learn the anatomy.

You can add whatever you want. Be creative. Every snake is different.

Use a reference photo. Make sure it’s a photo and not a drawing. Study each part of the photo, and try tracing over it as you study the snake's anatomy.

A ruler can help make more exact measurements. If you take art classes, you may learn to use the pencil method.

You can use paint, markers, crayons, colored pencils, oil pastels, watercolors, whatever you want to.
