Unleash your imagination and get ready for a monstrously fun drawing experience.

Step 1: Draw body and arms
Draw an oval for the body. Add clawed arms on each side of the oval, positioning them at the oval's midpoint. 

Tip
There are no rules when it comes to drawing monsters. You can create them large or small, fierce or funny, scaly or furry.

Step 2: Add tail
Attach the right edge of a large U-shape to the body's right lower edge, just below the arm. Curve it upward and inward, then bring it back, connecting it to the oval's left side.

Tip
Always draw outer shapes before adding details.

Step 3: Add details
Add one large or several small eyes at the center of the oval. Draw a mouth and add one or more triangles at the top of the head for horns.

Step 4: Apply imagination
Use your imagination and add details, such as wings, scales, multiple arms, or a flaming jaw and sharp teeth.

Step 5: Erase guidelines
Erase unwanted guidelines. One final tip – next time you open your closet, check for monsters, because you never know what might lurk in the shadows.
