How to Draw an Octopus 🐙

1. Draw an oval. That will be the octopus’s head.

2. Inside the oval, draw two smaller circles. Those are its eyes. Think of them like goggles wrapped around the head.

3. Under the head, draw a rectangle. That’s the octopus’s body.

4. Draw one tentacle first. A tentacle looks like a long cylinder that gets thinner at the end.

5. Draw the rest of the tentacles. Make them bend and curl so your octopus looks happy and alive.

6. Erase the extra lines you used to help shape the head, body, and tentacles.

7. Add details: draw the lines on the tentacles, the eyes, and the flap of skin around the head.
