Snake Drawing
To draw a snake that appears to wrap around something, like a branch, you need to draw some parts in front of it and some parts behind. That may sound confusing at first, but if you start at the head and then draw one section of his body at a time, you may even start to see a pattern to it.
After your snake is drawn, you can decide if you want him or her to be seen or camouflaged. Warm and cool colors can do this job very well. A warm or cool snake against the opposite background is bound to pop out from his surroundings. And likewise if the snake and background use the same palette, it will have some good camouflage going on.
