Curvy lines and cool patterns come together as kids follow simple picture steps to sketch a slithering snake.

Step 1: Draw two curved lines to create the snake's tongue.

Step 2: Create a long, curved line to the top of the tongue. This step will outline the head and mouth.

Step 3: Make a mark on the forehead. Next, draw a long line that extends down to form the neck and then curves back.

Step 4: Create a curving line below the head to create a shape for your lower jaw as well as the throat.

Step 5: Draw a long line that runs down from the throat, extending to the front of your body.

Step 6: Make a long, curved loop to the left to begin the coiled body.

Step 7: Draw a wider curving line to the left of your body to create the next coil for your body.

Step 8: Expand the body downwards and round it with a curving, wavy line. Include a few curving guide lines along the neck and the body.

Step 9: Complete the lower body's coil by using another long line of curved lines.

Step 10: Draw small scales over the top of your head and then add a nostril and other facial features.

Step 11: Incorporate large, curved belly scales into the front of your chest and neck.

Step 12: Create more small scales on the sides of the neck as well as on the upper body.

Step 13: Include scales along the middle coil of your body.

Step 14: Continue drawing scales over the lower coils of the body.

Step 15: Complete the scales on the tail and on the other side of the body.

Step 16: Draw a big round eye.

Step 17: The second eye is added to the details inside both eyes.

Step 18: Darken the eyeballs and then finish the drawing. Color it using your favourite crayons or sketches!
