"Grass snake". Aquatint etching, with roulette and burnisher touches. 20 x 25 cm.

Strictly speaking it's still a WIP as I just saw one part where I'll add a shadow, but apart from that I consider it done.

I'm quite happy with it, during the whole process I feared adding a detail or messing up something that would make it lose its "organic" feel, but it didn't happen. Even if lights and shadows aren't so realistic (have you ever looked closely at light playing on a snake's scales? It's crazy!), they bring the effect I wanted and it still looks like a convincing enough snake to me :D

WIP. Proof print of the latest progress on my little grass snake. I've used aquatint to add three shades of surfaces after the line-only etching. I've often have bad surprises with aquatint, but I'm happy with this one, it looks close to what I envisioned.

The next step will be to add highlights by burnishing the aquatint texture in some places. Also maybe add some shadows. And I plan to find the best mix of brown and green ink to print it. Stay tuned :)
