  • Question
    How can I draw scary snakes?
    How.com.vn English: Community Answer
    Community Answer
    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!
  • Question
    How did you do the tail?

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

      Article SummaryX

      To draw a snake, start by making a circle for the head. Next, draw a curved shape that overlaps the circle a little at the right to be a framework for the body. Then, draw the curves that connect and complement the first half of the snake’s body as well as the other half of the body, which will become more slender near the tail. Once the body is sketched out, add details like the eyes, tongue, mouth, and nose. Finally, add some detail to the body before erasing any unnecessary lines and coloring your snake in.
