Yes, it's quite simple. First, let's define what a scalene obtuse triangle is and in so doing show that a scalene obtuse triangle CAN be constructed.
'Scalene' means that all three sides are not equal (of different lengths).
'Obtuse' means that at least one of the angles is greater than (>) 90o.
So, as long as the triangle has 3 sides that are not equal and contains one angle that is >90o, you can create a scalene obtuse triangle.
Another way to make sure you can construct the aforementioned is:
If you know the lengths of the triagle sides you can add any two(2) of them the sum of which should be greater than the length of the 3rd side. This is know as the Triangle Inequality Theorem.
Under the Resources link, there is a website to construct a scalene obtuse triangle as proof.

Can you draw a scalene obtuse triangle?
Yes. Scalene simply means that a triangle's sides are all different lengths. Obtuse means that a triangle has an obtuse angle. Therefore, you can have an obtuse scalene triangle.
How you draw an obtuse scalene triangle?
Draw a triangle with one obtuse angle (more than 90 degrees), where none of the side lengths or angles are equal to each other.
What triangles is impossible to draw right obtuse triangle right scalene triangle acute isosceles triangles or a obtuse scalene triangle?
A triangle can only have 1 right angle or 1 obtuse angle in it because its 3 interior angles add up to 180 degrees
How do you draw a right scalene triangle?
A scalene triangle's three sides are all unequal to each other. To draw a scalene triangle, one needs a ruler to measure the lines and make sure that none of the triangle's sides are equal to each other.
Is it possible to draw a obtuse equilateral triangle?
no
