Look deep down under the sparkling blue ocean, where the water is warm and the sea grass grows tall and green. Right there, in the middle of it all, is a very special octopus.

He has a wonderfully soft body and eight long, wiggly arms that can curl and twist into any shape. His skin is a happy, light green color. But what makes this octopus so unique is what he wears on his head.

It's a magnificent tall, black top hat, just like a magician might wear. And if you look closely, you will see a single, shiny red love heart right on the front. It seems to glow with a friendly light.

This little octopus is in the middle of a dance! A silent, happy song that only he can hear is playing in the ocean. He moves to the music, bouncing gently up and down. His eight arms flow through the water, weaving between the strands of sea grass.

They ripple and swirl, making the little fish nearby stop and stare. He twists and twirls, his arms creating beautiful, watery patterns all around him.

He is sharing his happy dance with everyone, without saying a single word. If you like him, follow these nine steps to learn how to draw him—it's pretty simple!
