Green Mamba

edited November 2008 in Artist Alley
So I drew, lined and colored this snake and am pretty happy with it. I'm not liking how my shading worked out though.... he looks like he has fur. I'm not finished with him. only mostly finished... thinking about adding scales to take the "furry" look away. tell me what you think. Might be willing to sell him when he's finished... but I'm kinda fond of him and may just keep him. anywho tell me what you think. critisism is welcome. but be nice :wink: <br><br><br><br><br><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r119/Cheyenne_0013/greensnakecopy.jpg"; alt="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r119/Cheyenne_0013/greensnakecopy.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><a href="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r119/Cheyenne_0013/greensnakecopy.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r119 ... kecopy.jpg</a>

  • Nice Mamba!<br>I think the shading would make more sense<br>if the dark green was where the light green <br>is, and vice versa. But other than that, the<br>lineart and overall coloring is really good. :)

  • I really like that "shine" affect you used. It looks overall very nice. If you ever get board and need something to do you should add small scales in places. :wink:

  • I don't think copying pictures is a good way to learn how to draw.<br><br>If you want to be a good artist, draw from life, study how things work, study anatomy. It's not all work if you truly love to draw. Copying pictures teach you some things, but don't go showing them around like it's your own work.<br><br>Sorry if I don't seem nice, I'm just trying to help.<br><br>As for the coloring, it's pretty good, I would suggest making the shine more "sharp" or "precise", instead of swipes with the brush.
  • its really good! :) <br><br>critique: try doing the head staight next time, instead of bent. it looks a little odd. mind you, ive never been good at seeing bends and stuff, so it might be perfect :D
