2. Define the Form: Use slightly different shades within the same color family to distinguish the serpent's twisting body from the decorative patterns around it.
3. Play with Texture: Try stippling (tiny dots) on the scales for a rough texture, or smooth gradients on the magical swirls for an ethereal glow.
4. Background First? Consider coloring the background elements lightly first to make the serpent itself truly stand out as the focal point.
