0:00:02 > 0:00:03This is Deadly Art.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11I'm lucky enough to travel the world tracking deadly animals.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17But in this show, my team of artists take my killer moment...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21..and turn it into art.
0:00:21 > 0:00:26And we'll reveal another unique creation.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Along the way, you'll get to pick up some tips,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31tricks and techniques, so you can make some art yourself.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37This is no ordinary art show. This is Deadly Art.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44'Coming up on Deadly Art... you wouldn't want to get into
0:00:44 > 0:00:47'a tight squeeze with this predator.' Look at that, on my leg!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50The Deadly Artists recreate another killer moment.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53It's always deadly when we use metal for our big art.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58And we'll show you a doodle to impress your friends.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Today, we're going to meet a snake that can be as long
0:01:01 > 0:01:05as a double decker bus, and can stretch its jaws wide enough
0:01:05 > 0:01:09to take in prey that could be the size of a pig, or even a deer!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11This is the world's longest snake.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15'This massive snake is found through much of Asia.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19'Its name, the reticulated python, actually means "netted,"
0:01:19 > 0:01:22'and refers to that colour that runs down its back.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25'This python is an ambush hunter. It'll lie in wait for its prey,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28'and then attack with extraordinary speed and strength.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33'Another Deadly Art challenge for today's team. Let's meet them.'
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Hey, I'm Mike! I'm a cartoon artist, and I'm up for today's Deadly Art!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I'm Michelle, and I just love working with different materials.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45'Mike and Michelle represent the Deadly Art team,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49'who are always up for a challenge. And this is the killer moment.'
0:01:49 > 0:01:54As the python lassos its prey, it constricts...
0:01:54 > 0:01:56and then it swallows.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59And this can all be over in a matter of minutes. Totally deadly.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Let's capture that striking position. Mouth open, its body
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- coiling behind.- And its jaw.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- Let's make sure we represent that. - The deadly strike before the kill!
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Let's get some materials.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16'Time for some more Deadly Art!'
0:02:19 > 0:02:22'Mike and Michelle grab everything they need
0:02:22 > 0:02:25'to make their incredible killer moment artwork.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30'I love the idea of using old food tins for the body of the snake.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34'Great stuff! This is a great technique, but remember,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37'don't try anything you see in our Big Art sections.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40'Mike and Michelle are trained professionals.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47'Now, it's all about the real thing, and in the jungles of Borneo,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50'you'd think finding the longest snake in the world would be easy.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53'Unfortunately, it's not.
0:02:54 > 0:03:01'We search and search, and in the end, we ask the locals for help.'
0:03:01 > 0:03:06I was wondering if you could tell me where I could find a big snake.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Whoa! Hello there, mate!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I think that means, "Go away!"
0:03:14 > 0:03:18'So we head off again, and we look and we look,
0:03:18 > 0:03:23'but we start to run out of time and realise that maybe
0:03:23 > 0:03:27'we're not going to see one of these incredible snakes in the wild.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30'But we do have a trick up our sleeve.'
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Well, I know Deadly 60 is about wild animals,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36but you cannot say we didn't try and find our big snake in the wild.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39It just didn't happen. Luckily, Eric, our guide,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43knows someone who does have exactly the snake we've been looking for.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46And I've heard that it's quite a big one!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- So let's have a look.- Hi, Steve. - Hi, hi, how you doing?
0:03:49 > 0:03:55Hello. Hey, Eric. Can I take it out?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58OK, let's have a look.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Ah! Yeah, that is a big snake.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05That is a very big snake. Is it OK for me to take it out?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08So...
0:04:08 > 0:04:14this is a big reticulated python.
0:04:14 > 0:04:23He really is big! Crumbs, that's heavy! That's really heavy! Right!
0:04:23 > 0:04:28A reticulated python is the longest snake in the world.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Believe it or not, the anaconda from South America can get larger
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and heavier bodied than this.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38But in terms of pure length, the reticulated python has it.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I have to say, this is the thickest,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42heaviest bodied retic I've ever seen!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45'More from that heavy fella later!'
0:04:45 > 0:04:47'Let's get back to Mike and Michelle.'
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Now that we've got our tin cans cut up, I'm going to use the scrap metal
0:04:52 > 0:04:56to create that big, striking mouth. I'm going to start on the bottom
0:04:56 > 0:04:59of the jaw. So, I've got this piece here, and I've cut these tabs.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03What's great about this metal is that it's so easy to bend,
0:05:03 > 0:05:08and I'll use these tabs to create the bottom of the mouth.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Then, for the top of the mouth, I've got this piece.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I'm not sure how it's going to go together,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19but the idea is to use all these scrap pieces of metal,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22layer upon layer to create that basic shape of the mouth.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25'I reckon the textures of the metal are going to work really well
0:05:25 > 0:05:26'on our Big Art snake.'
0:05:26 > 0:05:31I'm working on the body. As you saw, we cut the tops and the bottoms
0:05:31 > 0:05:35off our tin cans, and sliced them down the middle to make them wider.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40These pieces of metal are great cos the texture is similar
0:05:40 > 0:05:42to the underbelly of a snake.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I'm attaching two pieces of metal together to create a segment.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Then we're going to create lots of segments and put them together
0:05:48 > 0:05:51as we start to make the body of our snake.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54'This art is deadly and has lots of sharp edges.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59'Don't ever attempt anything you see in our Big Art stages.'
0:05:59 > 0:06:05'This looks riveting! Now, Mike's got a Deadly Doodle.'
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I'm going to show you how to draw this reticulated python.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13We're going to start with some simple shapes. Actually, just one.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It's just a circle for the head.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18We're going to draw a cone around the head,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20and now it's all squiggly lines for the body.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24So, we're going to use a U for one line.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Then two big hills.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30A "C" over there.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33We're going to join that line up here,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36and I want my body to be wrapping and coiling around itself.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Draw his tail, ending up there.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Wrap that one around here, come around here, a whole bunch of hills.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47You can draw yours coiling any direction you want.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Spilling over the page, just like this.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Have fun with it. Have your snake go any direction you want.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56The last little bit we'll add with our pencil is the eye.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Now it's time to pick up your black marker and add in some details.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01First thing is the eyebrow.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05From the head, but each time they get to each other we want it
0:07:05 > 0:07:09to look bunched up, so we can add a couple of little lines like that.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Down to here...
0:07:16 > 0:07:21..draw in this C again, this time, another few of those
0:07:21 > 0:07:25curving lines, make it look like it's all coiling together.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Down here, wrap it around, back to the head.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37All the way around to that really thick tail. Cool.
0:07:37 > 0:07:43Put that around there. And a few more coils back here.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Now it's time for the head.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53We'll start with the nose, so we'll come back to our eyebrow,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57wrap it around the front of the mouth,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59and add in our jaw.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Split that in half, and give him a bit of a snaky smile.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Now, to make his eyes look really deadly.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Draw in that shape, come around for a circle, and draw in
0:08:10 > 0:08:15a reptilian pupil, and some wrinkles around the bottom of the eye.
0:08:15 > 0:08:21Add in his nostrils, then draw in that curvy forked tongue.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Cool. Now, I could stop here,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26but because pythons have unique markings just like
0:08:26 > 0:08:30our individual fingerprints, I'm going to start drawing my pattern.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32You can draw your pattern any way you like.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35My pattern is a bunch of squiggly lines,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37with some dots in the middle.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44All right! There you have one seriously deadly reticulated python!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47'Nice python! How did some of you get on drawing this Doodle?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49'We went to Devon on a Deadly Day Out.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51'Here's all the action from the Deadly Art Tent.'
0:08:51 > 0:08:53We're going to start with a circle
0:08:53 > 0:08:55on the left-hand bottom of our page.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58This is going to be for the head,
0:08:58 > 0:09:02and we're going to turn that into an ice-cream cone for his nose.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08ALL: Ya-a-ay!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- I'm Caley.- I'm Sam. - BOTH: And this is our Deadly Doodle.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16I liked the head and the nose and the pattern which I used.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20My favourite bit is probably the head as well,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23because it's got the most detail in and I like detail.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26ALL: This is our Deadly Doodle.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29My favourite bit's the face
0:09:29 > 0:09:32because I like the way the tongue's zig-zaggedy like lightning.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- I'm Lucy.- And I'm Leah.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37BOTH: And this is our Deadly pythons!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- The deadliest bit is the face. - I think it's the coils.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I'm really happy with my doodle.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Mine is the deadliest.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Mine is the deadliest.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49'They all look deadly! Keep on doodling!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52'Let's get back to the Deadly Art studio. The snake is taking shape.'
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Now the larger sections have been finished,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57it's time to move on to the next stage.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01As we move along the snake's body, we need our tin cans
0:10:01 > 0:10:05to get smaller and smaller, so I'd better carry on attaching them.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08'It's unbelievable to think that a load of old tin cans
0:10:08 > 0:10:12'can be bent and shaped into a lethal predator!'
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Now the head is taking shape, I can work on the eye.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17For the eye, I've chosen this tin can.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21We're going to slot it into this hole that I've left. Perfect.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Now for the reptilian pupil, I've got this piece of metal.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28We're going to rivet it into place...
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Now I've given that python its deadly stare
0:10:31 > 0:10:34as if it's about to strike its prey.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37'Over in Borneo, I was getting into a tight squeeze
0:10:37 > 0:10:39'with a monster reticulated python.'
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Crikey! I tell you, it's a good job it's quite tame, isn't it?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47If this was snappy, I wouldn't be quite so keen
0:10:47 > 0:10:49to be handling it like this.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Do I need to worry when its head starts heading towards me like that?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- It is getting used to you.- Yeah. So this snake's been in captivity
0:10:56 > 0:10:59for about 15 years, so it's not very aggressive.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Believe me, I would not be handling it like this
0:11:01 > 0:11:04if this was a wild snake.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08'This is a reticulated python I found a few years ago,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11'living under a bridge in a village. The locals asked me to take it back
0:11:11 > 0:11:14'to the forest, as it had been eating their chickens.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19'This one was only about eight feet long, but was incredibly aggressive.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23PYTHON HISSES
0:11:24 > 0:11:27'Normally, they eat wild boar, pigs and birds,
0:11:27 > 0:11:30'but they are confirmed people-killers.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35'Naturally, the locals were worried that it could eat their children.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38'This one was killed several years ago by villagers who thought
0:11:38 > 0:11:41'it had done exactly that.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45'But when they looked inside, it was fortunately a wild boar.'
0:11:45 > 0:11:50The reticulated python can get to be much bigger than this.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54The longest recorded specimen was about 28 feet.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00This one's about 20, so it would be an extra me plus a bit more.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04And I have to say, this isn't even constricting me,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08but just the weight and power of it. Look at that on my leg!
0:12:08 > 0:12:11This is how a reticulated python kills its prey,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13by wrapping some coils around the animal,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17and as it breathes out, the retic clenches a little bit more,
0:12:17 > 0:12:21and every time the animal breathes out, it clenches more and more,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25until there is no lung space left, and the animal suffocates.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29'A huge predator with a killer technique.
0:12:29 > 0:12:35'Incredible. Back to the Big Art, and it's all coming together.'
0:12:37 > 0:12:40'Look at those massive teeth!'
0:12:44 > 0:12:46'That's it! They've finished.'
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I love the fact we've created something
0:12:53 > 0:12:55so amazing-looking out of some old tin cans.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I know, it's always deadly when we use metal.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02This python is sharp. You have to have gloves on to handle this thing.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- It's going to look great.- Definitely.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08'It's nearly time for the Big Reveal. I asked the Deadly Art team
0:13:08 > 0:13:11'to recreate this killer moment and turn it into art.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16'So, let's take a look at the finished result.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21'Well, I really didn't expect that. That is pop art-tastic!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24'The corrugations on the tins represent
0:13:24 > 0:13:26'the belly scales of the snake!
0:13:26 > 0:13:29'Those bright colours from the labels work so well!
0:13:29 > 0:13:34'They're like the colours running down the reticulated python's body.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37'And those twisted metal fangs look vicious!
0:13:37 > 0:13:40'The snake's standing up, ready to strike!
0:13:40 > 0:13:44'You wouldn't want to get in its way. Nice work, team.'
0:13:44 > 0:13:46What an incredible creation!
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Make sure you try the Doodle and the DIY,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51and we'll see you next time for more Deadly Art!
