Description
It was challenging and fun to work on this piece. The reference photo was very well shot but I wanted to have more fun with the background and composition.The outcome wasn't exactly how I envisioned. I might have applied too much OMS and some of the detail were not as sharp as I wanted. Well, I guess that's how you see underwater anyway, hence the title, "Fish Eye View."
Medium: Prismacolor Colored Pencils
Support: 9x12 Strathmore 300 Bristol Vellum (cropped to 8.25x11.25)
Other: kneaded eraser, odorless mineral spirit (OMS), water brush

I have been planning to try this octopus in color pencil for some time now, and haven't had the opportunity. Maybe you would have fun drawing it
