Midweek Moleskine: Snake Scales
🕑 Added 2018-11-01 03:31:14 +0000 UTCDecided to do some more studies in things I can't draw- snake scales!
Now, I love drawing snakes; I literally spent a whole year of elementary school drawing almost nothing but snakes so I could get a grip on how to draw them. But scales are a pain in the ass to render realistically. I've gotten away with making stylized suggestions of scaly skin in the past, but trying to draw them one-by-one without it looking like a mess is a nightmare.
It'd be a lot easier if the tutorials I've found online actually took in account that snakes can actually bend and flex...
