Ball pythons are probably my favourite snake. Every one I’ve met has been super charismatic, and their patterns are so stunning.
I love painting reptiles because of the challenge of their scales. How many scales should be rendered so a snake doesn’t seem like a fleshy sausage or overworked and fake? It’s a tricky balance to strike, and I don’t think I nailed it here, but I think the snake turned out really cute anyway.
