In my last post I said I wanted to do a painting of a ball python. I decided on an old photo of one of my mojave hatchlings and got started. I'm about 7-8 hours in, probably 1/2 finished. Here are some progress pics.

Chocaolate background


Black


Mojave yellow


Starting of flames and blushing


I have to get out the detail brush and do the scales and such, then give it a blue backround.
