Was gonna edit the above post with an update so I'm not doing so much double posting, but guess I can't, so oh well:

This is as far as I got with the paint tonight. Just some more left to do with the yellows/oranges/reds before I can add in the blue to really make it pop! Then any lowlights to really give it some depth. Excited to finish this!!

Hey guys, I've started a new project involving herps.
One of my first, if not my actual first time putting in a full background for a realistic drawing. Snake is a BRB (of course) which will be done in pencil crayon, and the background is being done in watercolour. It'll be interesting when it's done as pencil is my strong suit and watercolour is the far opposite.

Farthest right of the snake, the dark area, is mostly done, as far as the watercolour goes. Once all of the trunk is done, I'll go back in to touch up with pencil, pencil crayon, and/or ink.

Being done on sandstone mat board.

And more progress done tonight

Trunk base maybe 90% done before I can go in with the touch ups to crisp things up.

Started working on the snake during my flight to LA this past few days. This is what I got done on the flight there (on sunday).

Hyokenseisou · 06-13-14, 11:13 PM

And this is what I did on today's flight back. (Both flights were about 3hrs a way)

Didn't like these spots so I redid them

Better

I'm still thinking I might redo those spots again and move them even closer to the belly. Not quite liking where they are (even though I moved them quite a bit the first time.).

Freakin awesome!! You have my address, right? To send me all your artwork

After a month and half of not working on this piece, I've picked it back up and started working on it again. Just need to paint the forest background and any touch ups if needed.

Thanks guys!

Still now new progress on the BRB, I get distracted very easily. :P
Like distracted with this! My first realistic watercolour reptile. Certainly new to it but pleased with the outcome.

The original piece (and prints) are available too. Click here for more details.
