Giant Pacific octopus eye — October 11 sketch

•

Calends of April
Close up sketch of a giant Pacific octopus, focused on the eye. The eye has the characteristic horizontal pupils and is surrounded by ridges, giving the octopus an intense expression. There are tentacles with suckers in the foreground and background. This is a simple sketch, with sketchy white lines on a black background.

I wanted to have another go at sketching the giant Pacific octopus, especially the eye. I enjoyed giving the suckers a bit more attention as well.

Illustration of budding flowers emerging from seeds as roots reach out in the soil. The flowers are red with sketchy black outlines, the soil is black, and the background is dark gray. There is a circle-A for anarchism among the flowers. This image is a detail from Glowing: CalendsOfApril.com/glowing.
