How to Draw Funny Monsters

Step-by-step diagrams teach beginners to sketch 30 whimsical monsters

Clear step-by-step diagrams break down 30 monster drawings into manageable stages, showing exactly how simple shapes transform into grinning cyclops centipedes and creatures that are literally all head with legs. Barbara Levy structures each monster as a progression of lines and circles, making the seemingly complex surprisingly achievable. Young artists build confidence as they see their monsters take shape, while the deliberately silly designs keep the process playful rather than intimidating.

The 8¼ × 11-inch format provides ample space for working alongside the demonstrations, and the paperback binding lies flat when you're focused on getting that toothy grin just right. Thirty different creatures means plenty of variety without overwhelming choice, enough to develop drawing skills across different body types and expressions while maintaining momentum through quick wins. Parents and teachers appreciate how the book teaches fundamental cartooning principles through monsters that kids actually want to draw, turning practice into entertainment rather than drill work.
