Monsters!: Draw Your Own Mutants, Freaks & Creeps

(4) 4-6 Stephens offers guidance for imagining then drawing heroes and monsters. Starting with simple lines and shapes, he demonstrates how to build human, animal, or imaginary figures (though the pages' busyness make the actual directions hard to follow). Stephens also offers historical tidbits and shows how costumes, face and body shapes, and colors will influence how drawn creatures are perceived. Review covers these titles: Heroes! and Monsters!
