This is the first frame of a scorpion walk cycle I will be making. I've been wanting to pick up drawing for a while, and conveniently I took on this project at work today (usually I work with JavaScript and other web languages, this is the first time I've ever had to draw for work). I began a version with shading/digital painting, but after realizing I should keep it simple since I'll be animating it (never mind the fact that I'm trying to hide the fact that it's amateur to the client), I decided to keep it simple

After looking at many pictures and videos, I began this by tracing a picture I found. I changed the body and tail shape, as well as color, to make it look more like the appropriate kind of scorpion (the image I used was a different kind that was much fatter, especially in the tail).

The final product will be reduced to 50% to 33%, which gives it a much cleaner look.
