Another letter of the alphabet - this time O for Octopus. (B was posted earlier.) I guess I was thinking of old Mary Blair illustrations and vintage Golden Books when I did this. Done all in Photoshop, I made the textures by making a custom brush. I started with a Spatter Brush (my favorite brush, and it's in the default palette.) Then I adjusted the spacing and played around with the jitter stuff and you get a brush that has a kind of chalky dry brush effect.
Here's a close-up of the effect. This ended up being a super fast way to do some shading. I had a lot of fun coloring this.

So cute and well done
what a nice little thing ??..ı like it ...ı want it as a friend :)
bye bye
What a cutie! His eyes and his round head sort of remind me of Casper the Friendly Ghost, looking for a friend. Thanks for sharing your Photoshop technique. I only know how to use a tiny fraction of what it's actually capable of.
O-hh! Very nice!
Dancing octopus, beautiful colouring and fine drawing.
Hey! I felt in love with him... and after that, with u for sharing ur technique.

Wow, this is just so cool, beautiful and unique design you have in your very cute octopus O. Love it!
Wow. Looks even nicer close up. Really great colors and character. Nice job, and thanks for sharing your technique.
thanks for sharing!! great illo :)
Great Illustration. Love the octopous!
Yeah, it's cute I guess. If you like octopusseses that are cute and stuff. I think it would be better if it was attacking a big ship. It could have sailors in it's tentacles. That would be cool. Like the new banner though.
PRETTY!! Great color and CUTE octo!!
I always come here and learn a lot. It’s very important to know the artist and how he works. Congratulations and thanks for this wonderful job. Could you say something about my drawings (http://www.paulinhocouto.blogspot.com)? Sorry about my English. Hug.
