Little Monsters

Sketch for Little Monster, Ink, 2011

A small boy stands in the corner with his head hung low, a broken lamp on the floor casts his shadow across the wall. It takes the form of what everyone must think of him. "What a little monster," they say under their breath.

My entry for this theme is just a small, very rough sketch for an idea that may make it into my series-in-progress Tongue in Cheek. I imagine the shadow to be sketchy, like a kid's crayon drawing, and intricate with lines weaving in and out. The monster needs a lot more design work, but for now it's a start.
