Week 7 Task - Illustrate Our Monster Book

I've been looking forwards to this week - it's illustration week! Professional children's illustrator, Katie W. Stewart, has provided not one, but three guides on how to draw black and white illustrations. She's even shown us exactly how to draw a lumipoo momp, tubster of terror, tig and Toby!

In case you didn't hear the news, our monster book is going to be massive - about 20x25cm.

Here are two typical page layouts:

This Week's Task

Using our detailed synopsis and Katie's guides, complete one of the following:
a) pick a scene from the book and create an 8x9 cm illustration to sit in a column
b) pick a scene from the book and create a 16x6 cm illustration to sit at the top of a page
c) pick a poster from the book and draw it 16x21 cm.

The posters in the book are:
    - the locals protesting the Galactic Sauce Company pumping the Condiment District (chapter 3)
    - Queen Maddie Long Legs banning bananas (chapter 11)
    - Queen Maddie Long Legs' law that humans can only bathe in the Condiment District (chapter 11)
    - the government issuing information on how to get rid of a lumipoo momp with a hairdryer (chapter 14)
    - the government changing their minds and saying actually use a hoover to get rid lumipoo momps' (chapter 16)

Please use only grey pencils and black fine liners for your illustrations. No colours.

Here are Katie's brilliant guides to help you with the task:
1. Before you start
2. How to Draw a Monster Part 1 - Drawing the basic shapes
3. How to Draw a Monster Part 2 - Shading

And he's a tip from me:
When drawing is too fiddly

Please sent your work to rosen.trevithick@gmail.com by Friday 7th March. I will forward the best work to Katie. Some of you will get feedback on your drawing from a professional artist - cool, right?
