its just a girl on a snake body but when i try to do it it gets overwhelming and super difficult really fast

why is this? this is also the same with centaur girls

Go to a reptile zoo. Draw from life.
Go to a whorehouse. Draw from life.
Combine the two.

Why would anyone want to do this stuff?

a snake is 100% contours and gesture. Just practice.

don't ask such questions if you are a faggot

This. The hips and ass are like 1/3rd of the chick's appeal.

You need to know your anatomy, specially skeletons, to draw snem grills and Ctaurs.

There's a lot of details to keep in mind, so if you don't take it one step at a time it's pretty overwhelming.
I think >>7450822 got it right. If you simplify it to its core components, it's half a human and a tube. But depending on how many snake elements, and how detail oriented you want to be, it can be a lot of work.
You should focus on the gesture and the basic elements. Then look for refs and see how other people solved the rest.

Pic related, I drew one recently and it was a lot of work. Having refs for snakegirls and actual snakes helps. Also avoiding ideas like a gaping snake mouth should make it easier...

>is just a girl on a snake body
i bet you retard have never done a single proper snake study, all you do is call this "snake girl" and search for anime references online. NGMI

Agreed. I remember doing one recently as well

That monster is a Lamia in case you are looking for references, regarding your question, it is normal that it is difficult for you and you get confused, you are drawing two creatures at the same time with different but united anatomies, the easiest way to not get confused is to draw half of one and then the other, never both at the same time.

>>7450815
Why wouldn't you do it? Tell me, do you have no imagination and are you so stupid that you can avoid drawing fantastic and difficult things?
>>
>>7455258
she looks like makima
>>
>>7450778
I don't like how so many artists draw the snake body bent right where the legs would have been if they had them. It makes it look like they are just a regular human in a costume. There shouldn't be any sharp turns.
>>
>>7455863
Yea i draw a lotta makima and read muh chainsawman...
I guess auto default to makima eyes for sexy dangerous women lol

>>7450778
Did you ever see the skeleton of a snake?
