Any and every time I draw or paint an octopus specifically, Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead pops into (and gets stuck in) my head. I don't know why or when the association came about, but I do remember having the same issue when I painted this years ago. I could go on and on about my particular fascination with octopuses, but will stick to a simple appreciation of how challenging and fun they are to draw. From the uniquely shaped head, to the creepy eyes and mind-of-their-own tentacles, there is quite nothing else like them (both physically and otherwise, as this book will absolutely convince you). I found the original image for this drawing on Google, and just went with freehanding in pencil, followed by more permanent details using my favorite Micron pens.
