Free course: How to design your own monster
Six steps, one pencil, about twelve minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then print the practice sheet and draw it again.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a tall head with a pointed top, like a rocket. Leave the bottom open. Wobbly is fine.
Draw one wavy line across the page. Leave four small gaps where the tentacles come up.
Four tentacles rise out of the gaps, wide at the bottom and pointy at the tip. Curl some in and some out.
Two small fins near the point, two big dot eyes, and a wide smile. Then a few sucker dots on two tentacles.
A tiny boat bobs in front of the kraken. Give it a mast and a triangle sail.
Ripples on the sea and a flag on the boat. Now this kraken is yours.
Now draw a kraken giving a tiny ship a ride.
Practice on paper
Faint lines to trace, all six mini steps, and an empty box to draw your own. One page, works in black and white.
