The Mermaid & the Octopus

My frisky twosome turned out better than I anticipated. On one hand, I'm so happy I actually have butterflies. On the other hand, it took me 2 months to finish a drawing the size of a pen...It's time to get serious.

New project

I love Instagram filters!

Octopus (update)

Playing with water colors

Octodone

I am finished with him for now because I want to color him in.  I need to get a scanner first so I can do it with the best quality. Shopping on Amazon this week...

What to do what to do...

Oh I hope I can finish this by the end of the day, it isn't as easy as I thought it would be, my ideas keep changing and things keep happening, but sometimes I just tend to think too much on a project and it delays my progress. Hope your day is going smoother than mine, wish me luck!

Where Octopus stands June 10 2013

Been working doubles at the sushi bar last couple of days and in between work, exercise, and sleep I have managed to squeeze some time in to this. I have today and tomorrow off so when I'm done cleaning the house, I'm finishing it. There is seriously nothing like a clean home, it's amazing what it does to my mood. Oh and is it just me or are fresh & clean bed sheets equivalent to heaven?* Happy Monday! Xo

Listening to Stevie Wonder + City and Colour this week. Life is good.

Octopus so far...

I want to somehow fill the veins in with a bright almost glowing turquoise or blue and color the skin red. I need to learn how to paint.

Octopus outline

Just learned that an octopus has three hearts. Two pump blood to each of the two gills, while the third pumps blood through the body.

Octopuses are the weirdest things!! Just look at his skin and his head, like that's an alien. Just confirmed my next project.
