Octopuses

I wanted to refresh my drawing skills so thought I would copy all the drawings in the book ’20 Ways to Draw a Cat and 44 other awesome animals’ by Julia Kuo. I have used this book in the past but have usually copied the easy looking drawings or the ones that appealed to me most. As a challenge I am aiming to draw all the animals in the book even if they look complicated. The octopuses or octopodes or octopi were not as complicated to draw as some of the other animals.

InkTober 1-6

I decided to take part in the InkTober challenge – one ink drawing each day for the month of October. I’m trying to follow the prompt list instead of just drawing what I like, which makes it a harder challenge. Fancy a go? Here’s the link for more info.

This is what I’ve done so far
