Daily Creativity: Octopus

I love octopuses and drawing them can be fun, but also frustrating. Where to put all of those limbs? I drew this one with ink and love how the limbs sort of make a heart on the right side.  I also had fun doing the head more realistic than other drawings I’ve done. I didn’t draw the individual suckers, oddly I thought adding that extra detail might make it too cartoony. I darkened the background in photoshop when I scanned this in, I think it makes the negative space pop more. I could sit and watch cephalopods for hours, I find them so fascinating.
