Firstly, draw the torso. It looks like an elongated oval with a slight curvature in the center. Position this figure in the center of the paper sheet.

The tentacles are the main weapon of the octopus. It is also a means of transportation on the seabed and in water. So, draw in this step long, smooth lines that are located in the center and at the bottom of the sheet of paper.

Turn these lines into large, massive tentacles. Each tentacle has a smooth narrowing in the distal direction. Do not forget to draw the relief of the tentacles that help the octopus to fix on various surfaces.
