This is a wonderful class. This method of monster making can definitely help jump-start your creative process. However, just a note to the teacher, please put down your paper! So many times throughout the videos you were talking and drawing on your paper while holding a corner. It is extremely distracting, furstrating, and makes it difficult to see what you are doing.
Great class. Easy to follow along and work, and great tips.
