You can buy plastic texture plates for making crayon rubbings, or you can be thrifty and use one of those convenient store coffee cup holders for free.1. To first draw a snake, follow the diagrams shown above. Start by making 4 parallel lines that shorten to make what somewhat looks like a pyramid.
2. Connect the lines with curves, leaving the top right side open.
3. Add a curved neck and head.
4. Finish with a mouth, tongue and end of tail.
5. Trace the snake with a thin marker. Open up one of those brown paper coffee cup holders (mine was from am/pm) to lie flat. Place drawing over cardboard and rub with a crayon to make snake skin.
