The photograph I was working off of actually was completely blurred after the face and nose. The detail was heavily lost, save for shadows and highlights. So, yes, there absolutely is a lack of detail. Seeing as she posted it on the other forum we frequent, I'm sure it won't be an issue to post the photograph here for comparison. But I'm not really looking for a heavy critique Seeing as this was the first snake I've attempted to draw before, I've no prior experience with this subject. Normally I work with mammals and 'hairy' animals, haha.
