This snake has settled into one thick coil with its head raised above it, and the coil is where all the pattern work sits. A wide open center shows through the middle of the ring.
Two textures share the body. Large open diamonds run across the upper curve, and rows of small rounded scale outlines cover everything else, down the outer wall of the coil and around the far side. Every diamond and every scale is drawn as an open outline with nothing filled in, so each is a separate area you can take in a different tone.
The neck is banded instead of scaled, which gives the eye a rest between the busy coil and the plain head. The face stays simple, with one ringed eye and a thin tongue.
Work the diamonds first and pick a second tone for the scales around them, or run a gradient around the ring from the head to the far side. Fine pens suit this better than crayons, and the bare paper around the coil leaves room for a border of your own.
