How to Draw an Octopus – Step by Step Drawing Tutorial
This is one of the easiest ways to draw an octopus! Even the 8 tentacles, which are sometimes a little difficult to draw, will be easy to handle.
Things you need:
- Printable directional drawing template (obtained at the end of this drawing tutorial)
- a sheet of paper
- press
- Black marker (or pencil, colored pencil, …)
Optional: A coloring medium for coloring the finished piece.
Stage 1.
Start drawing the hair. Draw an inverted U shape with the open end rounded inward. Also called horseshoe shape.
Step 2
Continue to shape the head – starting at the end of the U shape, draw bracket shapes on both sides. Look, this is really easy!
Step 3
The first pair of squid tentacles emerge. Continue from the end of the bracket shape and draw the first tentacle.
Both tentacles face up. This leaves enough space to draw all the others.
Step 4
We are moving pretty fast! We’re almost there! Now draw 4 more tentacles.
Step 5
Only two tentacles left! Draw these two between the first pair of tentacles and the other four you drew.
Also draw the eyes and mouth. Or if you want a more realistic look, all you need is the eyes.
Step 6
All that’s left to draw is the final details. A suction cup on the tentacles and a dot or two on the head.
Paint it with your favorite color.
