Had fun doing the getting sketchy project tonight, I put it into grey scale and was blown away at how well those odd colors came together. Who else participated? I’d love to see more! ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/0/00985896a4b30d93673fc2b2c5d2c1e32a9679df.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/1/13af4c3385ee7b4cabba31df8a3d82bbfd054030.jpeg) ---

This is amazing! I truly enjoyed this lesson and drawing so much. I can’t wait to attack it with my granddaughter tomorrow. I’ll post our results here. Did you have Posca Markers? We gave our granddaughter hers for Christmas, so I have to borrow hers. I don’t think I’ll invest in them for myself, unless I just fall in love with them. LOL! Brenda ---

@LadyLunaMarr That turned out beautifully! Here’s my attempt working digitally: ![Getting Sketchy 3.1.23](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/6/696e565984ab2531925c24eb18abed9a082849fc.jpeg) ![Getting Sketchy 3.1.23 Copy](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/e/edbef4ad15d34b434b4d414ef36f9b967e72aab5.jpeg) And [here](https://youtu.be/hCmvjieDaD4) is a timelapse of the process. ---

These are both amazing! I don’t have Posca markers but tried with my TomBow on grey paper last night. I thought my purple too dark so tried it again on white marker paper. Had fun trying this. What a great lesson on value! ![Try1 Otopus](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/4/4d6dce6dfa0e821dbb84f9c47177144275fae798.jpeg) ![try2 octopus.HEIC](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/7/70e8fc022568dddecc6d18285e0dee1a7ba7b75f.jpeg) ---

I never even thought to do it digitally! I think the tombow markers worked well, might try it again with those on marker paper. My husband bought me a big pack of posca pens for Mother’s Day last year, he was happy to hear I finally used them almost a year later 😹😹 ---

June, they both look great, but that second one is really well-done! I hope to have one to share this afternoon. Brenda ---

My four-value octopus in Posca Markers. 🙂 It was fun! We didn’t have the coral pink, but I love this bright pink that we had. 🙂 And it appears I managed the four values.

Wow! all of these turned out great! One day when I feel I have some energy to pull out the different supplies I plan on doing a Getting Sketchy marathon. I hope it is before I have 10 lessons at once - ha ha! Teri ---

It was really fun to do. I still want to do the eraser face, but I’m having problems getting my eraser dots to look right. I’m going to get a stamp pad and try one more time. Teri, a gettin sketchy marathon would take me forever. It take me so much longer than 45 minutes to do one episode! I look forward to seeing your pieces when you get to do them. Brenda ---

Brenda, So true! It will be quite a long marathon, but then, that is what a marathon is, right? You did a great job on this octopus experience! Teri ---

Hello everyone, I do not like mine at all. I do not have the Posca Markers either so used a set of Blick Illustrator Markers I purchased a while back that I have not tried yet so I was running blind. I was pleased with how they worked on the Strathmore grey paper since they are alcohol based but did not like my rendering at all. I will probably try again but not as getting sketchy, just for myself. I will most likely do it in ink and see how it turns out or at least use a micron black pen for the line as the pen I have are all thicker marks not like the one Matt used. I do believe that I will humble myself here and present my attempt in the 45 minutes allotted time using a different medium, so here it goes. Teri ![octopus colored image season 10](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/b/bdf082c55cf1049826f2c1f2fd7252fcaaa2397b.jpeg) ---

I think the octopus looks fantastic @TLP ! The shape is nice and flowy, and the purple and yellow contrast nicely! 👏 🐙 😄 ---
