“What is Creative Mondays?
Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.
So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”
During the last week I went to see the latest Pixar film Monsters University. Overall I quite enjoyed it (I’ll save my review for another day!) but one thing that stood out to me was the variety of monsters this time around. There were so many different creatures created, much more than the original film.
I’ve always loved doodling and sketching crazy characters in my spare time and I figured I’d try and flesh out one of my monster creations and share him with the world! This piece was sketched out, scanned in and traced in Illustrator. I then imported the file into Photoshop where I added some of the monster skin texture and background image for effect.
