How to Draw a Monster
Learning how to draw a monster - simple and about a circle like the one you see above... is really easy to do. Everything lined up ahead of time - lines nice and light, here you get to create one that's completely unique!
As always - use these drawings to help you develop your creation. There's never a shortage of creativity... just have to find it! :-)
First Step - Yes, Draw it About a Circle...
Circle and cross in place - the rest of the drawing will pan out with ease. Your focus now - is solely on being as creative as humanly possible. Seek out ways to make this cool-looking-yet-simple beast, one that has never been seen/dreamed/envisioned/etc. --- ever before!
Here's the structure...
Remember - the circle is the core. Everything else - the arms, horns, eyes, etc. - all revolve around it. Symmetry in mind, see what you can come up with!
Now let's draw this monster!
Second Step - How to Draw a Monster
In my case, I decided to draw the eyebrows first - big, and slightly overlapping its big round eyes. Subtle changes to a world of difference as we progress. Try leaving out these eyebrows (eyelids too!) - and note the differences.
Off to draw a monster!...
Funny? Scary? Crazy!! These are things you'll have decided by now - as your creation will best embodya specific 'look' according to how you drew yours. And really, with no end in possibilities - tackle this lesson again and again.
Create a whole army of cute little cartoon monsters! :-)
Well, what else can we say... very nice job!
