A tone and depth study exercise for my studio class. I probably spent more than twenty hours on this.

I am fairly happy with how it turned out (high praise from me - I'm a harsh self critic) - The graphite hasn't scanned as well as it could have unfortunately.
Feedback welcome

Oh wow, that's awesome.
Your attention to detail is incredible!
I especially like how you've gone so far as to draw the differences in their scales, and the patterns...
Wow. This is just magnificent!

I can certainly tell you've put a lot of time into this!
Awesome.

Excellent detail there!

teal27 Says:

Wow. Besides the slithery feeling I get just looking at it, I am also drawn in by the depth and shading here. Really well constructed picture!

Tree Says:

This is beautiful looking! I just love the different variety of shading in this piece. You could just picture this in color. Fantastic job as always!

I just bought myself a snake two days ago A small one though.
