The Octopus Diary - Part 4 & 5

I totally forgot to write last time I worked on the octopus, so here are some pictures from the last two sessions.



Last time we started colouring the middle of her back, but as you can see it's only basic colour, no details. As I have been working on this piece I have found out that it's best to do every part twice, so I can do the basic colour first, then do another session with details when it's healed.



Here's the result from the last session:

And then, today, we moved over to the Octopus' head and some arms below it, on the thigh. Here's the result from today:

I hope you like reading about this project, I really enjoy this kind of work :)

Lots of love,

The Octopus Diary - Part 3

Today we coloured three arms on our "little" octopus :)

I'm not gonna say much about it, other than that it was really fun to do, and I can't wait until next time :)



These are the results from today:

Front of the thigh

Top of the shoulder

Peace everyone :)

Love, Electric Linda

The Octopus Diary - Part 2

As you may know I'm working on a really big octopus, and last session was our first.



For those of you who hasn't read part 1 - click here.





Today we started colouring, and it was so much fun. We have been talking a lot about what colours to use, and we're gonna do the octopus mostly in red-orange-yellow, and with random dots of light green and purple. Later we're gonna add a cool sea blue as a spray-background.

Sometimes though people get a cold or the flu, and that happened to my customer a couple of days ago, though she was much better now. Therefore she did not have the strenght to get tattooed as long as we had hoped, but we managed to colour one of the belly-arms :)

And I finished the 4 hour session with little white details, just to try and see how it turns out :)



Remember to check back soon, cause I'm gonna keep writing about this octopus. Next update will be just before new years eve :)



Here's today's final result:
