I’m a professional artist, so this was a fun challenge! I’ve got lots of 4 legged pets, but I figured one of my snakes would be a better fit. I finally got my first ball python(s) (got 3 together) so I figured my little pastel female would be great for a 5 minute challenge since her colors pop so well.

They’re too fast to get out and model, but I have their baggy-pants-sausage-body shape stuck in my head anyways

Lol I don’t know, I can’t draw to save my life.

That’s ok! No judgment here: that is the greatest part about the 5 minute time limit. It allows for varying and unique output levels. 
Besides… if it doesn’t end up looking like your 
buddy @lumpy, we’ll just tag it Abstract art 
and it will be a huge hit

I was over here erasing and redrawing the scales cause I’m so concerned about the scale count placement of boa constrictors

This is AWESOME! Thank you so much for posting, @lumpy! I love the different perspectives we all end up given that same 5 minute time frame.
And this…

This is just a pen brush on an ipad! I didn’t have paper and pencils/pens accessible so I had to make do. When I’m traveling (happy thanksgiving to all Americans out there!) I usually use it just do do sketches and get ideas down. Full time, I’m a professional oil landscape painter and hike and paint in the mountains.

That’s awesome, @lumpy! I intentionally used pen because I knew if I used pencil, I’d spend the whole 5 minutes erasing stuff.

Doodled some of my noodles (and my gecko!)
Edit: These each took only a couple minutes to do, I draw art for my main income and have mastered the ability to draw quickly. These are all referenced off of actual photos of the snakes featured!

These are GREAT! I LOVE the different perspectives (especially Nutmeg and Checkers looking right out of the page as they are biting themselves- or you)… and is that a snake named Susan? Yay!
Thank you so much for sharing @trnreptiles!
And if you don’t mind me asking, what is your job? I am incredibly intrigued by the idea of art as a main source of income. There are a few folks who have contributed here who are traveling and/or full-time artist and I think that is the coolest thing, am super inspired and would love to hear more if/when you have a second.
In any case, amazing art !
Thanks again!
