How to Draw a Monster

Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun and learn how to draw a monster? Monsters can be silly, funny, or even a little bit spooky, but they are always exciting to create. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

First, we need some supplies to draw our monster. You will need:

  • A piece of paper
  • Some crayons, markers, or colored pencils
  • Your imagination!

Step 2: Start with the Monster’s Body

Let’s begin by drawing the monster’s body. You can make it any shape you like! It could be round like a ball, tall like a tower, or even wiggly like a worm. Use your pencil to draw the shape on your paper.

Step 3: Add the Monster’s Face

Now, let’s give our monster a face. Draw two big eyes. They can be round, square, or even heart-shaped! Add a big smile or a funny frown. Don’t forget to draw a nose. It can be tiny or huge!

Step 4: Give Your Monster Some Arms and Legs

Monsters need to move around, so let’s draw some arms and legs. They can be long and skinny or short and chubby. You can even add some claws or paws if you like!

Step 5: Add Fun Details

Now it’s time to make your monster unique! You can add spots, stripes, or even polka dots. Maybe your monster has horns or a tail. Use your imagination to add anything you like.

Step 6: Color Your Monster

Finally, let’s color our monster. Use your crayons, markers, or colored pencils to make your monster bright and colorful. You can use any colors you like. Maybe your monster is green with purple spots or blue with yellow stripes!

All Done!

Great job! You’ve created your very own monster. Monsters can be anything you imagine, and they are always fun to draw. Remember, there’s no right or wrong way to make a monster. Just have fun and let your creativity shine!

Now, if you ever feel a little scared of monsters, just remember that they are only pretend and can be as friendly and funny as you want them to be. Happy drawing!

  • What kind of monster did you create, and what special features does it have? Can you describe it to us?
  • Why do you think monsters are often shown as being funny or silly in stories and drawings? Can you think of a monster from a book or movie that you like?
  • Have you ever felt scared of something that turned out to be not so scary after all? How did you feel once you realized it wasn’t scary?
  1. Monster Story Time: After drawing your monster, think about its story. What is your monster’s name? Where does it live? What does it like to eat? Share your monster’s story with a friend or family member. You can even act out a day in the life of your monster using your drawing as inspiration!

  2. Monster Hunt: Go on a “monster hunt” around your home or classroom. Look for objects that remind you of monster parts. Maybe a round pillow looks like a monster’s body, or a spoon could be a monster’s leg. Use your imagination to see everyday items as parts of a monster. Share what you find with others and explain why it reminds you of a monster.

  3. Create a Monster Gallery: Gather your friends or classmates and create a monster gallery. Display all your monster drawings together. Walk around and look at each other’s monsters. What do you notice about the different shapes and colors? Talk about what makes each monster special and unique. You can even vote on the funniest, scariest, or most colorful monster!

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music] I think it’s better tonight than the monster hiding outside. I need to go to the bathroom soon, but I’m afraid to leave my room. I turn on the lights, and the monster from my side is no more.
