I've been drawing snakes for a month already, so I was going to move on to something else, But there was a reason I had to draw a snake again.
When I drew this ball python, I saw the word "garlic knots" a few times in the comments, along with "noodles," "pretzels," and "cinnamon rolls."
I know all the other foods well, but I didn't know what 'garlic knots' were, so I looked them up. My mouth started watering as soon as I saw the picture. My saliva shot out like a cobra shooting venom π I read the recipe right away, and I could guess the taste. Pizza dough, butter, garlic, parsley... This can't possibly be bad.... And I tend to be crazy about garlic. My soul wants garlic knots.
When I was young, I went to a salad bar at a pizza restaurant and ate garlic sticks made with pizza dough. It would be similar. I could eat them forever... Anyway, I don't have an oven or grill at home, no good cooking skill, so I couldn't make it, so I drew it instead.
I guess the garlic knot is small in size. So, I imagined snakes in a small rattan basket and drew them. But finished the sketch and realized that I didn't draw anything else to compare the size with them, so they look a little big...
I briefly considered adding some other objects, but considering the actual size of the pythons, I thought it would be fine to leave it as is.
It would be delicious either way. I added more small doughs in the background instead.
I work mostly in the evenings, at night, and at dawn. I was really hungry at dawn, which is a side effect of drawing food π
Unfortunately, there is no place that sells near by me. one of the pizza franchises introduced it as a side dish three years ago, but it is now gone from the menu. π But at least some of you guys can eat it for meπ
Thank you!

Yes, I think it would be similar to breadsticks. Fortunately, I can imagine the exact taste π I just found out that you can make bread in an air fryer. My old one broke a while ago, so I might have to buy a new one!

Garlic knots are very good! If you find a recipe and you have a friend or family member's place you're visiting who has an oven or an air fryer then maybe you can make them there! They are like bread sticks so that is close in taste. Or if a pizza place makes bread sticks you can ask if they can make garlic knots as a special order. Coincidentally today I was at a friend's place and he made fresh baked little pizzas for us. I should see if we can use some dough next time to experiment with a batch of garlic knots. π π§ π

oh yeah if you ever want to see how I bake just look up the Muppet's Swedish chef, it doesn't stop me; but it does take me a while to pick up steam to bake again
Kathryn VanNuland
It shouldn't be! Normally it does need to be baked though π₯²

Unfortunately, I have never published a book. I tend to talk more about the philosophy behind why I draw than my drawing technique. So it may not help with art skills! But there is a coloring page on Patreon, so you can practice coloring :D The coloring page for this picture will also be uploaded in February.

Cuteness overload!!! I know you have your individual art style, but do you have any how to draw books? I would love to create a drawing of my snake like this!
pikaole
Haha thank you! As soon as I saw the picture of garlic knut, it came to mind. Please eat lots of garlic knut for me!
pikaole
Haha, if you got hungry looking at this picture like I did, I'm glad. I'll update this design by tomorrow. I'd be happy if you use it as a sticker. Thank you!
pikaole
Oh? I just found out that you sell pizza dough. I looked it up and found out that you sell it here too. If you can buy the dough separately, it shouldn't be that hard to make????? I'll have to try making it in the microwave or in a frying pan later.

I am delighted to hear that! Thanks Nicole π
pikaole
Yeah, the recipe didn't look that complicated! But the problem is me! The last time I baked was 15 years ago π
pikaole
Haha, I guess so. I wish a teleportation device was developed so we could eat anywhere.

These are too cute!! Also your mind is a truly amazing place to come up with this..! Although I have to say you might have made me hungryβ¦
Seth K.
They as so cute! As soon as I saw them, my mouth started watering. Iβm so sorry you canβt get garlic knots! π π But yes, we will eat some for you. β€οΈ Are you adding these to Redbubble? I could really use this as a sticker. π
Seth K.
I agree wholeheartedly!
Kathryn VanNuland
Do you have pre-made pizza dough available? You can easily make them yourself! But realistically... They're just bread sticks in a different shape π But these little guys are perfection! You have done them justice ππ€€
Nicole Garofolo
This is the cutest and most delicious looking snakes ever! Definitely my new fave design of yours β€οΈ
Rhee
You could probably make your own garlic bread, and or knots
Kammy
