Fun Times; Monster Illustrations
I’m very lucky to have a constant stream of very enjoyable graphic design projects, all very diverse. This one was particularly fun and I found myself getting quite carried away!
This project is all about monsters.
I must have had a premonition a few weeks ago when I was doodling design concepts and in the middle of them there were monsters where no monsters belong and in my breakdown of that project I said that I couldn’t quite understand why I’d drawn a monster on the page twice.
Then I find myself drawing monsters a few short weeks later. It’s not like I draw monsters all the time, I haven’t drawn a monster in about three years.
Oooo …. I’ll be holding readings next. Doodle readings?
Now though I was commissioned to design just one simple ‘cute monster’ by unique funky fashion brand Kicsi, once I’d drawn the first character, which was basic and without props, I couldn’t quite stop myself from adorning further monsters of the same base style with illustrations of Kicsi products! 
I had to stop myself after the hat and the blanket, but why not take a visit to the Kicsi store, they have some great original fashions and accessories for children, some of which you will recognise in my drawings above.

Now the client has been having some fun with these monsters!!

Great illustrations, did you use illustrator for these?

Hi Danny,
Yes indeed I did draw these in Illustrator - I used mainly the pencil tool and the shape tool for the round face and round eyes.
That’s pretty much what I use for all my illustrations …mainly the pencil tool and just draw it out in each layer.
Someone else was asking me how I drew these actually, they are proving popular
I’m also rather partial to them.
