Doodles and Finished Pieces

[Chutzpar]

The shading was looking much better until I did the top tentacles, realised I'd overshaded and then decided to add the band at the top in a vain attempt to make it less jarring :V

Not gonna deny that I totally phoned this in though x:

Looking at it now, I think I should have layered more purple into the shading. The only problem is, the purple I have is pretty similar to the pink, so my options are still a bit limited! I'm not sure if diluting with water would work, since they're alcohol based, but I'll play around with it later. If not, I could probably try using lighter fluid or something because I am so punk (but I'll have to try that on less expensive paper in case everything goes horribly wrong)

Or, until I get more pens / get more used to markers, I could probably lay pencil over the top! Pencils are boss.

Thanks for the pointers, though! I didn't want to sound dismissive in my post :V
