[ drawing ] Snake (Patreon)

2025 is the year of the blue snake.

Snakes are known to have great insight and intuition, and blue is a tree (vitality and growth) in the yin-yang and five elements. So combine the two, it means a new beginning, growth, and development.

So snake is perfect for the first drawing of 2025 :D

I drew a snake in early 2020. It's been 5 years :D

This time, I'm going to try to draw them a bit longer deform than before to give it a more snake-like feel.

In nature, the blue color of snakes have meanings of reproduction, camouflage, and warning.

The snake shape is very simple, but... I had to struggle quite a bit while sketching it because I was trying to reduce negative space in the drawing 😅

Because I'm going to draw several on one canvas, so I don't want the drawing to feel too crowded.

 When snakes coil up, they look comfortable.

Towards the end of the study drawing, I lost focus on the blue snake... and suddenly I wanted to draw bunch of ball python. It would be really cute if I drew a lot of round ball python in one frame.

Thank you!
