Octopus among Tide Pool Stones

An octopus curls among tide pool stones, with arms threading around wet rock and small pools. Seaweed, shell fragments and reflected sky add short lines inside the larger blue and grey areas.

Build the eyes and arm curves first, checking each suction-cup edge before joining the body. Sort stones by wet highlights; pool reflections can wait until the animal and shore shapes are fixed. Suction cups and wet rock highlights offer small confirmations when tide pool colors run together. Waterline curves help confirm pieces that share the same blue-green tone.
