How to Draw a Great Looking Snake Face and Head for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

1. Begin the snake face and head outline by sketching its sinister eye. Use two curved lines to craft the eye, noting the overlap at the corners. Then, shade a narrow triangle for the slit pupil.

4. Draw the venomous fangs descending from the front of the mouth. Use curved lines to draw two curved, sharply pointed triangles.
Then, extend a curved line from the middle of the mouth. It should pass behind one fang before doubling back upon itself to meet the edge of the jaw. This is the bottom of the snake’s mouth.

5. Outline the lower jaw using overlapping curved lines. Indicate the skin at the corners of the mouth by drawing short curved lines between the upper and lower jaws.

6. Extend long curved lines from the back of the head, lower jaw, and open space near the back of the head. This outlines the snake’s back, belly, and the division between them.

7. Draw the snake’s forked tongue, erasing as necessary. Draw a short line in the middle of the mouth. From it, extend two curved lines. Connect them with a “V” shaped line, enclosing the tongue’s “Y” shape.
