![]() ![]() Grab some sort of camera that you have around. Here’s what three of my co-workers/friends at the iD office came up with today when we tried this exercise: After everyone is done drawing, open up your papers and see the finished monster creation that you have drawn together with friends. Once again, pass the paper around and then have everyone draw the legs and feet (or slime blob if your creature has no legs or feet). Now everyone begins to draw a monster mid-section on the #2 panel of your piece of paper. hat on, whatever you want to draw is perfectly fine.Īfter each person is done, pass the paper to another person in your group. Get creative! It can have 20 eyes, three mouths, a Mario Bros. Each person gets a piece of paper and starts to doodle a monster head on the top section. On each folded section write a number 1, 2 or 3. The trick is that you won’t see what each of you will draw until the very end.įirst, fold three pieces of paper into three linear sections. Together, the three (or more if you want) of you will be collaborating to create a monster. This mini-exercise requires the company of at least two other friends. Then using my imagination, I went into Photoshop and created a graphic using some vector bird images, gradients and a bit of texture. “Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.” –Langston Hughes.
