MONSTER MONTH: Day 11 – The Happy Dragon

Today’s monster-of-the-day isn’t really too monstrous. He’s actually a bit more happy-go-lucky. Of course, if he were a real dragon approaching me, I’d probably run in terror despite all he probably would really want is a hug. Hope you enjoy this little fella as much as I did drawing him!

If Bob Ross drew this, he might call it "a happy little dragon".

MONSTER MONTH: Day 9 – The Vegetarian

Here’s today’s Monster-O-the-Day! Actually, you get two for the price of one today! This image started as a sketch in my sketchbook, then moved into a quick drawing with some watercolor splashed onto it. Enjoy!

The villagers are probably wishing BOTH monsters were vegetarians about now.

MONSTER MONTH: Day 8 – The Puss Monster

Here’s a sketch from my sketchbook done in blue pencil. Sometimes I’ll lightly sketch in blue before doing a more final line with regular lead, but this time I decided to go for it with just the blue pencil. Kind of adds to the creepy vibe, don’t you think?

This is what happens to you if you don't stay away from greasy foods, kids. The zits just get OUT OF CONTROL!

MONSTER MONTH: Day 7 – The Buzzy Beast

This guy may be little, but is quite unafraid to attack with his lightning quick speed and bee-like reflexes. He can be a bit mischievously impulsive at times, much like a 4-year-old feeling their oats. If you see one, DO NOT take him home as a pet.

If you think the front of him looks ferocious, stay away from that back end!

MONSTER MONTH: Day 6 – Skeleton Dude

Here’s a creature slightly off my usual path. Something still in a humorous vein, but creepier. Enjoy!

You'd look this grumpy, too, if you couldn't quite remember the steps to "The Charleston" anymore either.

MONSTER MONTH: Day 5 – The Toe Dipper

What could possibly terrify a big, burly MONSTER? This is a question I ask myself often when doodling. This past summer I was sitting on the beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, when that very thought struck my mind. Together with the inspiration of the location, this sketch of a monster afraid of the water just emerged!

Who would have thought that THIS guy was afraid of the water?

Well, it started as a sketch – today’s dose of monster was really just an ink sketch in my sketchbook drawn on the East coast, then it was colored here in California turning it into a genuine illustration. So, this piece is truly bi-coastal! Originally I was just going to splash some color on it in Photoshop, but as you can see, it blossomed into a full-fledged digital painting. Enjoy!

And if you happen to see any monsters on the beach, just know that they aren’t there to cause any trouble. They just want to have fun in the sand and surf, too!

MONSTER MONTH: Day 4 – The Orange Crusher

This happy guy just popped out of a random doodling session in my sketchbook. So, I inked him, scanned him, and colored him in Photoshop so he could live on in his orangey badness.

"Who's the big orange hairy monster? Hmmm? Who's the big orange hairy monster? That's right! You are! Good boy!"
