Lesson 3: Adding Line Boil & Eye Movement

In this lesson I’m giving the octopus a bit more life. We’ll add a wobbly “line boil” around the outline, and then make his eyes move so he looks like he’s tracking the fish. It’s all really simple once you see it done, and it makes the drawing feel a lot more alive.

You’ll also see how to use extra layers for animation, how to tidy up overlaps, and a quick way to add shadows and background texture.
