Giant Pacific Octopus Study

Photoshop

During my third semester, I was fresh out of fundamental studies and eager to create more artwork. This study of a Pacific octopus explored creating a sense of depth through the use of shading and textures. Rather than using lineart, I gradually built up highlights and texture starting from a dark base color.
