Slither
16×20 colored pencil on grey matboard. Original available.
I’m really not crazy about snakes, but they do come in so many colors that it was hard NOT to try. This one was a challenge but – believe it or not – it was so much fun!!

Aw.. come on now.. I know. Snakes just aren’t that popular but you’d be surprised at how many people have them as pets..

Not sure which type of coloured pencils you use (wax, watercolour, oil or pastel) but you manage to get some wonderfully bright paintings. Knowing you can’t get your subjects to pose like this, I greatly admire your design skills B. This has got to be make into a T-shirt.

I haven’t figured out how to do that yet.. suggestions??

This is awesome. Time consuming I bet.
BarbBarcikKeith replied
Yes, it was time consuming but, because I was learning A LOT, it moved rather quickly.

It’s a mess…not really of course….it’s a fine piece of art.
BarbBarcikKeith replied
Trying to keep all the various snakes lined up with eachother was a mess – at first.. but then it comes together..

You’d be great at Celtic Knotwork designs. This is fantastic and must have taken hours to work out, even before starting to draw.

Fantastically drawn, and your snakes over there are much prettier than the ones we have round here!!
BarbBarcikKeith replied
The snakes are not necessarily from North America.. I just wanted colorful snakes, so I hunted them up..
