Concept Art Exercise: How To Paint Strange-Looking Monsters

Digital Painting Tutorial: Painting Monsters
Concept Art Genre: Sci-Fi Creatures
Subject: How to Paint Fun Monsters

Have you ever noticed how most art projects have difficult parts that you have to muscle through to get to the fun, payoff moments? Today, let's try to make something that is ALL payoff. Let's skip the vegetables and have desert for dinner.

Today, let's give ourselves a break. Let's make a monster that makes no sense. Decide what parts of a design or a rendering are the most fun for you and just do that. Don't worry about design rules, likes or what others will think. Today, paint something weird just for yourself.

Paint a fun monster. Today, you are the client. You are the audience. Make yourself happy.

Key Take-Aways: Tap into that part of a project that is the most fun for you and hold onto it.

→ It doesn't have to be difficult to be successful
→ Weird = awesome
→ Go nuts, love the result
