Proposal:
I used to struggle with drawing anything without a reference to look at. A while back, I started sketching little monsters as an exercise for drawing from my head. It was a good exercise because my monsters didn't have to be perfectly anatomically correct, but they still needed to give the illusion of having weight and working muscles and all the things you have to consider when drawing a form. They also forced me to work with foreshortening and really consider how bodies are put together. I'm still struggling with all of the above, but not as much as I used to.
For this project, I would like to create a narrative using my little monster sketches. I want it to be fun and whimsical, and hopefully I'll even get a chuckle from someone...
Early Sketches:
This was just my initial brainstorming phase. Trying to figure out what I want my monster characters to look like. I know I want to have a little monster getting picked on by a bigger monster, and then the little guy will get help from an even bigger monster....

Bringing Them Into Photoshop
My next step was to digitize them and begin forming my narration. I assembled them together to construct my scenes and created an environment for each scene. I decided to leave the loose hand drawn line form of my sketches instead of making them really clean cut in Illustrator, and I wanted the background to integrate with that form as well.

Assembly
The last thing I did was put them together in comic book form....
