Garden Snake TEXTURING - ZBrushCore SpeedSculpt

I want to try practicing more realistic-type styles. So since I’m always drawing things with scales anyway, I’ve started with a common Garden Snake. I went for a snake as they have a nice, simplistic style to their scales; very smooth and uniform, so not massively 3D scales, but still noticeable depth and polish. My original go-to choice for a crocodile, but I decided that would be a bit too advanced for what I am trying to learn and accomplish here. TOTAL time taken: 5 hours ArtStation - coming soon Devi
