This tutorial is all about drawing Fungus from Monsters, Inc. with alcohol markers.
We'll build the character with simple shapes first, then use a light and dark colour to create quick shading before finishing everything off with expressive fineliner outlines and plenty of texture.
In this tutorial we’re drawing an original three-eyed character.
It’s a weird little face with horns, big teeth and plenty of room to mess around with the shape. The three eyes make it feel strange straight away, which is the best bit.
This one starts with a simple skull before filling the top of the page with a stack of quirky creatures. Using the Kawaii Club prompt cards, each character is easy to draw but can be mixed and matched to create a completely unique page.
This session is another version of the stumpy alien character, but with a more compact shape and the arms curling up around the head.
We’re going straight in with Posca pens, keeping the colours limited and using light and dark tones to build the shadows.
This week's character gets another makeover, this time as a bold black and white doodle. You'll build it from a simple potato shape, then add a huge mouth, multiple eyes and chunky cactus-style arms before finishing it with loads of texture using a Sharpie and fine liner.
In this session we're drawing the same little monster again, but this time using Promarkers.
We’ll keep the shape simple, give it cactus-style arms, add some shading, then finish it off with black outlines, wrinkles, spots and a little Posca shine in the eye.
In this session we're drawing a simple monster using layers of Posca pens to create light, shadow and depth.
We'll build it straight in with colour, add some texture and finish it off with those wonky outlines that pull everything together.
In this tutorial we’re taking inspiration from Derek Yaniger and drawing his version of Frankenstein’s monster.
It’s a simple Posca character with a chunky head, bolts, stitches, jagged black outlines and a bit of snot for good measure.
In this tutorial, we draw the weekly monster character again, this time using Promarkers to practise simple blending and shadows.
It’s a good one for playing with colour, tip-to-tip blending, shiny details and adding a bit more depth to a simple character.
In this tutorial, we draw a big monster with its mouth stuffed full of tiny kawaii characters.
It’s a fun one for practising wonky outlines, silly faces, overlapping characters and building a whole little scene from simple prompt-card shapes.
In this tutorial, we take the chunky Posca monster idea and stretch it into a taller, skinnier character with a big smile and dopey eyes.
It’s a simple way to see how changing the shape, colours and expression can create a totally different character.
In this tutorial, we draw a chunky little goblin monster using Posca pens, simple shapes and bold colour.
It’s a good one for practising shadows, spots, wonky details and building up a character with a few easy layers.
