Snake Raising Its Head With Patterned Scales Coloring Page

One snake head fills this whole sheet, raised with its tongue flicking out and its neck flared wide behind it. Working this close means the scales become the subject, and they run in rows across the head and down the neck as small open outlines rather than solid marks. The scales get smaller as they reach the snout, which gives you a natural place to shift tone. This is the sheet to use if you want to practise blending on a small area, because there is only one shape to plan and the background stays empty. Keep the eye light and the surrounding scales dark, or do the opposite, and the head reads completely differently either way.
