@cynthia-bowman I like how you used the spaces in between tentacles to hold things. This is really clever!

Well, I didn't expect to have anything for the contest, but here's what I came up with. Thanks to the folks who offered feedback on the sketch!

Hi Guys! Here's my entry for feb contest Octopus. Loved to join in after a long time!

@johanna-puhl Loving the details! And I also really like the colour scheme and the line-work. My lines always seem too harsh when the colour is added. I like how your lines sometimes have a bit of the colour of the subject in it. May I ask how you achieve that look? Do you work out the linework and then tweak the colours later or add the linework after you've finished colouring?

Anyway, I like your work! Followed you on Instagram

Hi, my entry for this month.

Thief octopus caught inflagranti. Trying to camouflage, but the ink leakage...

Uneasy Hearts Weigh The Most.
This is the name of a song by Dance Gavin Dance and also the title of my Octopus-Drawing. Even though the drawing itself has got nothing to do with the meaning of the song, I thought it's a funny coincidence that an octopus has three hearts. That's why I used it as an anchor. Anyway, I hope you'll like it!
