Post your ball python drawings

Sadly, God never gave me the best drawing skills.... seriously, this is the best i could possibly do... (took me 3 trys.)

sho220 - Your paintings are awesome. I hear oil is the way to go I just haven't had the time to try it yet..that, and I grew up using acrylic.

Mephys - I think one of the reasons I do realism is that I'm not very creative...I have to have a photo or something in front of me or I can't draw it that well. I really like the color and lighting in your 4th one down (with the horse silhouette). I love pictures with strong lighting and I think you did a really nice job with the composition (its interesting to look at) and the shadows. You should hang it up!

Appygirl - A few the drawings I had posted were commissions. I sell drawings from time to time. I'm guessing if I made it to some shows I maybe could sell more but as of now just don't have the time to go.

Here are some doodles I've done while one the phone, etc. They're neat but don't have the level of detail they would have if I had a photo in front of me (I guess thats why I choose to doodle mythological beings).

Thanks for posting some horse ones!!! :gj: I like them. You know.....Illinois is not very far from Iowa. Our horses are only about an hour from the IL border..... There's also a place in IL that I've gone to every summer for the past 8 years, it's called Ride-A-Clyde/Pine View Cabins. They are located in Keithsburg, IL. It's pricey, but you get to ride Clydesdales!

I like your horseish ones too!!!

Great stuff everyone! There is some serious talent going on here. I do have a Deviantart, but everything on there is over two years old and I cannot figure out my new scanner/photoshop and cannot upload new stuff. :rage: No snakes though, but here is the link because I am shameless. http://phenomi.deviantart.com/

I haven't even tried to draw a ball python... methinks I should.

Kristan, your stuff is great! Do you do sell these, or do you do it as a hobby?

My son would love to have that!! But I can't draw so he can only get pictures I take. LOL

Sho, that first oil painting you posted, of the spider, is amazing! It absolutely glows! Also, every time I see your signature I want to ask you, "have you heard?"

I think the two hardest things to draw are horses and snakes. Snakes because their shape and texture are weird, and horses because you have to really capture their elegance! I bet you guys could draw some fantastic horses ;)

Certain cats can be really hard to draw, too. I've always had trouble with people noses as well. :P I wish I had a decent camera, because I'm dying to post my big pen and ink snake piece in this thread. But alas, stinky computer camera is stinky and can't fit the whole thing into frame.

Awesome artwork everyone! I love seeing different styles and such... always gets me in the mood to pick up my pens :)

Here is a grid drawing that I did for my photo class a couple of years ago. This picture is actually about 2 x 2.5 feet.
