The sequel to my Mermaids series. I have a strong affinity for octopi and squids. I love tentacles and the way that they move. I had been sketching an idea for a classical-looking girl with a squid on her head. The girls in this diptych are supposed to be fairly classical-looking. The purpose of the fish and squid (or is it an octopus?) are the quirky, unusual side of both my lovely friends, and of women in general. I think the photo captured the colors better in this shot, and I may reshoot the first mermaid at some point.
Pastels on paper. Thanks again to my lovely friend and model!
