The best part, Daniel, is the detail around the neck. I can tell that you're not just copying an image but you actually understand the structures that are being suggested in the book. Although that sounds goofy, it's a big leap to make when you go from seeing what you're drawing, to understanding what you're drawing.
The only critique I'll give you is on the tail. It looks like it should be hanging further away from the body. If you wanted to improve this drawing, or if you ever try it a second time, I'd recommend pushing that tail a little to the left.
Otherwise, this is a great image! Nice work Daniel!
Matthew, Daniel's brother, age 9, took a crack at drawing the serpent from Genesis. Snakes are a lot of bendy lines and curves and there isn't much easy about drawing them.
This is excellent Matthew! I hope you enjoyed drawing a snake with legs as much as I did. I can see that you took a lot of time defining the feet and the claws. They look great.
The most impressive part is the face of the serpent. It's hard to get all the overlapping of the jaw, the fangs, the tongue, and the nose to work correctly with each other. You, like your brother, drew like you understood the structure of the serpents head. Nice work! The only suggestions I have are those wiggly lines in the body. Keeping your pencil steady takes practice, and I don't expect you to be a pro, but if you wanted to practice anything, that's what I'd suggest.
Daniel, make sure to help your brother Matthew when he draws. As you learn new tricks, you can show him what you've learned. Watch each other draw, and draw together. It'll make you both great artists!
Thanks guys! Keep your pencils sharp!
