I want to make a post about something horrific and terrifying.
I was watching a documentary the other day; It was so interesting.
Although I feel like just posting my notes of some random documentary that I watched it wouldn't be good enough to post on Steemit.
So this post is a 2 in 1 post.
Notes?
I'm a.. Dork. I take notes while I read, Watch documentaries or anything where I can "learn" something new. I love to mindmap and write Cornell notes.
What are Cornell notes?
Just a form of notetaking, You put your questions to the left and your details on the right, It's a way of organizing your notes. I learned the tactic in school and could never stop doing it.
Mind mapping?
It's like a tree. You start in the middle with one central idea, Then you gradually branch out, I want to make a tutorial for Steemit later on, I feel like it's a great way to get your ideas on paper, And get them organized.
I Digital Painted For The First Time
Not the VERY first time, But the first time where I did an actual project and finished it, I'm a coloring book artist, So my art just needs to be in black and white, I can paint fairly well with regular acrylics, but I cannot seem to paint on the computer.
I watched an article about Black Mambas
This digital painting is of a Black Mamba! Custom made for Steemit.
Sometimes I don't get myself!
I am DEATHLY afraid of snakes, Going to the zoo and seeing them in the glass is scary to me. When I hike, I occasionally come across a gopher snake. Gopher snakes are HARMLESS! But I start shaking and crying, and I can barley get myself to move.
Watching Snakes on Tv is a thrill to me, Especially Black Mambas, They are deadly and poisonous.
- Black Mambas come from South Africa.
A single bite from a Mamba can kill up to 15 men.
What I found interesting, Is they aren't named because of their outer color, They are a grayish brown. But instead named after the coloring in their mouth, Which is a pitch black inky look.
There are also Green Mambas that blend into the trees they hide in,
**Great, I need to run away from trees too.. **
- They can grow up to 14 feet long, Although they have long slender bodies for fast movement.
- They feed more because of their fast metabolisms
- They live in hollow trees
What it feels like to be bitten
Some of the symptoms: Fiver, Confusion, and tingling.
As it attacks your central nervous system, Even dead black mambas are a threat!
They have great eye sight
- Mongooses and Honey Badgers are immune to their venom, So they eat the black Mambas (New favorite animals) haha!
Even brand new hatched Mambas are full of venom and are deadly.
I'm using that painting as my wallpaper and no one can stop me.

I'm afraid of snakes too - even little garter snakes. I thinks it's because of how they move. They sort of swirl forward back and forth really fast. They can really cver a lot of ground super fast. Yikes! I do like seeing photos of them though. They're really beautiful.

Ugh!! Yikes haha I feel you on that one! I am the same way. I agree they can look very beautiful! and they are interesting creatures. Just so creepy though.

I Love it! You should also try mindmaping for those longer notes.

Nice painting.... I saw your first "This digital painting..." and it was from the Wiki page, then I scrolled down and saw your digital work.
Great work.
I was looking at what looked like an obvious photo and hadn't scrolled down and for a moment I was disappointed... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_mamba
I saw that and thought "Why is she saying she painted that as a digital painting?"
Then I scrolled down and saw your work which is actually quite beautiful.

I find it VERY interesting the intense reactions snake elicit in people~
There are SO many people who are terrified of snakes and many others who just love them. Either way snakes may be the most powerful animal in regards to influence they have on how people feel.
I my self spent most of my life TERRIFIED of snakes, even just thinking about them made my stomach turn and heart race. YIKES!
Though because I dedicated my life to conscious evolution I have faced that fear and have since learned to adapt to even be able to HOLD THEM!!!
Wow....What a transformation....Going from literally being terrified of even thinking of them and squirming at even a picture and now I can hold them and let them wrap on me without being scared.
I wouldn't call my self a snake lover but my relationship has changed dramatically and is one of my better success stories of transformation!
Thanks for sharing. I just wanted to hopefully inspire people that change is possible even with what appears to be most difficult. ANYTHING is possible!

What are you using to paint on a computer? If you like traditional media Corel Painter is the best software I've found to replicate it.
Love the snake painting too.

I use clip Studio paint. I also have a Wacom cintiq tablet that I draw on! So it makes the "feel" of it really natural.

Not familiar with Clip Studio but Corel is fully compatible with the Wacom tablets - in fact Wacom even used to sell bundles with both. You can try it for free too. Its not cheap but you might be surprised how powerful it is to a proper artist like you.
