Realistic Cobra Pencil Drawing - Artwork by Laura Sloan #1487755 (License: Personal Use)

This finely rendered pencil illustration captures a king cobra mid-threat display, its iconic hood fully expanded and body coiled with tension. The artist uses cross-hatching and layered shading to emphasize scale patterns, musculature, and the glossy sheen of the serpent’s skin, while subtle blue underdrawing hints at early composition planning. Signed “Laura Sloan ’11,” the piece reflects both technical skill and biological accuracy.
