Creative Exercise: Monsters

I have been crawling out of a creative funk and it feels GOOOOOOD!  I started with cleaning up and rearranging my craft/art room.  I have set forth a few creative goals.  I also just want to start drawing and painting for no real purpose other than to do it because, it makes me feel relaxed.

Today I decided to do a creative exercise.  I asked Colton what I should draw/paint and he said monsters.  Monsters it is!


I started out with a stack of ATC (Artist trading cards).  They are small pieces of art paper that are 2.5 x 3.5 inches.


I heisted the sticky googly eyes from the kids craft box.  I randomly stuck them on the ATC's.


From here, I took an artist pen and drew my monsters.  The inspiration for each monster was all about the eyes.


I then grabbed my watercolor paints and a few markers and brought my monsters to life with color.


I love all my monsters.  It was so much fun and relaxing to make these little monsters.






Does anyone want a monster?  I am willing to mail out monsters to the first six people who comment.  I will e-mail the first six for their addresses, so please make sure I have an e-mail address to contact you with.

  4. I LOVE it! What a neat idea to do with the kids on a rainy day. I would love to see what my girls come up with. You could also do some fun t-shirts with this technique, I bet!
