Ideas seldom arrive in their complete fullness when I start out a drawing of this sort. Mostly I have no idea what I will create. As one works, the ideas flow, a break for tea, then a return for a fresh look and more to add.
So the order of creation ran something like this: Octopus > Kelp > Fish (strangled) > 3 snooty fish > more fish > naval mines > more fish > eel > coral reef. …with lots of fix ups in-between.
Your imagination is really flourishing !! I love these pictures because there is so much to look at, it’s fascinating. Love the octopus with the cute little orange fish ! :) Fortunately it will never become his dinner.
