A python hangs its heavy body over one thick branch and lays its head flat on the wood, which is how these snakes spend most of the day. The jaw rests right on the bark and a thin tongue drops below it.
The build is what sets this one apart. The body is drawn heavy and round, so the blotches along its back come out large and easy to work in. Each is an open outline with a blank center, and they change shape as the body turns, narrowing into banded blocks down the tail that hangs free below the branch.
Pythons kill by squeezing rather than by venom, and that heavy build is the reason.
The right half of the page stays almost empty. That suits a soft background wash if you want one, and it looks fine left white if you do not.
Keep the branch a flat neutral tone so the snake stays the subject. Shift the blotches slightly along the length instead of repeating one color to the tip, and the body will look round rather than flat.
