Illustration Friday Challenge - Monster

Illustration Friday Challenge Assignment in Digital Story Telling class. For the word Monster I decided to do an illustration of a doll like girl with monster features. Her name is Ella and she lives in a monster city. She is high school age and loves her Scarbucks coffee. I wanted to create a little background for her with the city skyline and creepy tree. The overall feel of the illustration is dark yet youthful and current. I mixed monster features from iconic monsters like Frankenstein and Dracula by adding the bolts on her neck and fangs in her mouth, plus little scars and patches. The design was inspired by the illustrations I draw for my daughter to color, so I wanted to keep with the scary but not to scary childish theme. This project was done fully in Adobe Illustrator.
