Print

  1. Step 1: Bean head

    Top left, draw a big bean head lying down, with a bumpy snout.

  2. Step 2: Big eye

    Under the forehead draw a big oval eye with a black dot and shine. Dot a nostril.

  3. Step 3: Back and fat tail

    Start behind the head. Draw the back down into a fat lifted tail, then under the tail to the hips.

    Tip The tail gets fatter toward the body.

  4. Step 4: Chest and little arm

    From the head draw a chest line curving down to where the leg begins. Halfway down add a mitten arm.

  5. Step 5: Big front leg

    Start where the chest line ends. Draw the leg down to 3 toes, then up a fat thigh and back.

  6. Step 6: Tummy

    Start at the back of the thigh. Draw one short sagging tummy curve and stop where the tail line ended.

  7. Step 7: Toothy grin

    Start on the snout under the nostril. Draw a long smile back to the cheek. Hang 5 pointy teeth.

  8. Step 8: Back leg and ground

    Start on the tummy behind the thigh. Draw a leg down to 3 toes and back up. Add the ground.

  9. Step 9: Jagged spikes

    Draw 6 sharp triangle spikes along the head, back and tail, each starting and ending on the outline.

    Tip Like a row of shark fins.

  10. Step 10: Tummy patch

    Inside the chest, draw a long soft oval from under the chin down to the top of the leg.

    Tip Keep it inside the body lines.

  11. Step 11: Tummy and spikes

    Colour the tummy patch light grey, and all the spikes dark grey.

  12. Step 12: Dark grey monster

    Go over your lines. Colour the rest dark grey, around the tummy. Leave the eye and teeth white.
