20 Minutes Octopuses

20 minute drawings on my day off :3

A B C a book in progress

I found a website that turns your work into books so I thought I would start on some ideas for my own publication. This was my first idea, an A-Z of living things. Click on the image for an easier read.

Work in Progress - Session Fourteen

More detail added, dodgy camera settings, nearly time for the sky!

Planet of the Creatures

A two day draw challenge. A world full of creatures without a plant in sight.

New Pens

Before I use brand new pens and new shades of colour on my bigger pieces I like to test them out on some little doodles.

Work in Progress- Session Thirteen

The growing continues...

Work in progress Session Twelve

My news pens have arrived so it's time to get on with the big one.

Seasonal Palettes

The seasons are changing. I did some season related doodle blobs to celebrate.

Kawaii Corner

There are some colours I use more than others and when they have run out I am left with a selection of soft pastel colours. Because of this the Kawaii corner was born.

Gold!

Gold! I splashed gold ink on a page and built little worlds around the splotchy patches with doodles.

More then and now

 

This piece was forgotten for over a year in an old sketch book until it was rediscovered and finished off.

Kawaii Pastel Bubble

A little doodle made to celebrate my new drawing desk.

Octopussy, Octopussy, I ♥ you and the fishys too.

Some old little octopuses that live in my sketchbooks.

Then and Now: Nature Vs. City

Here's another piece I started over a year ago before abandoning it only to finish it today.

Waste not want not.

The first picture is a piece my house mate started  (which was then screwed up and put in the bin.) The picture started out with only the outline of the octopus in the foreground and  a pencil outline of the arm on the far right. I added to the drawing to turn it into an mechanical underwater scene. The second image I started then abandoned and a friend added to it until it became a doodled bird. The last drawing I drew a pen outline doodle before giving it to my house mate to finish.

Then and Now

For every piece of work I finish there are always three or four abandoned pieces that I never quite got around to doing anything with. After having a little look through my old sketch books I found a few that I wanted to finish. Here is the first, a little world built on a rickety wooden tower.

Another confused octopus.
