How to draw a Cobra Snake
Let`s learn how to draw a Cobra.
How can we guess that this is the Cobra? Yes, of course, the fact that the snake in the picture with its hood expanded. Note that the Cobra is depicted in a typical threatening pose. Sensing the danger or preparing for attack, this snake raises the front part of its body in the characteristic positions, which in itself is impressive. But that’s not all: in the place where anatomically the Cobra’s neck is spread in oval hood with a characteristic pattern that looks like eyeglasses. Here it is – a tool of intimidation! It operates flawlessly. Even if we humans can’t look at disturbed Cobra at least, without astonishment, so what to say about animals? We’ll never know, but probably something amazing! Suppose a large hood with circles on it may impersonate the head of a large animal. Let’s start drawing with a long sinuous line – the body of a snake:
Don’t forget that the torso and tail this is the most essential part, while the stand remains on the ground. They are not lying extended at length, but on the contrary very prudently rolled into twists. For what it is, what do you think? Of course, for support.
And the fact that the body of the Cobra is very evenly tapers to the tail, we‘ll have to draw ,so to speak mathematically calculating how much we have progressed. 
Draw the characteristic color and pattern of the scales. Keep in mind that the cross section of the snake’s body is round and we need to show the volume, this we will achieve by depicting the shadows.
Well,we learned how to draw a Cobra,standing in front facing us.
However, the Cobra with expanded hood looks also very impressive when viewed from the back:
In this case, we also first need to come up with the beautiful curves of the snake’s body on the ground and how to raise its head.
It’s not hard to make a long cylindrical torso,it is important for us not to miss with a hood.
So let’s try to make the neck and head of a Cobra to look good:
No, not yet learned how to draw a Cobra. Need to learn how to draw a Cobra’s head.
This picture, of course, interesting, but obscure. To explain what and how I drew the cobra`s skull and part of the backbone with ribs.
Now all became clear:
And now draw the scales and shadows:
Well, now you know how to draw a Cobra Snake, do you?
