Description

I challenge myself to do one sketch every day. Learn more about it here!

I needed a deviation for :icondreamers-welcome:'s monthly challenge. This month's challenge was wild. But I had no idea what to do.
Until I read Reddit's daily sketch subreddit, which I regularly check out, suggested drawing jellies. So I did! I tried out CreaToon's ability to use the z-axis to create 3D models despite being a 2D animation software and got to work.
One circle for the main body, repeated several times in several sizes to get the basic shape.
Then, I used the sketch tool to create one tentacle (animated it and then copied it 8 times, rotated along the y-axis).
I decided to use the sketch tool once more to add the red lines.
Finally, I let the whole thing contract and expand, because that's how jellyfishes do. Oh, and I added a rotation. Because I could.

Next step: tracing.

Man this is hypnotic O_O
Dreamers welcome seems to propose a lot of challenges, I'll go check it out.

As for ideas ... did you ever tried to make a bow shooting an arrow? Could be cool.
Or Superman flying? Batman standing on a rooftop, with his cape flowing ... the waves crashing on the shore ?
