“A year ago when Art Prof did the original celebrity monster streams, Deepti made a silly face and invited us to draw her as a monster.
Once I determined my monster Deepti girl looked like she was dolled up for a school picture, I realized I could make it a fun theme: Monster School Yearbook Photos.
From there I tried to select a variety of celebrities to make into monsters, and had a blast doing it. I imagined each one playing a role at the Monster school, from students, to a teacher and the principal (George Takei!). For Josh Gad, I went a step further and used a slime simulator app to manipulate his face before drawing the monster version.”

“For this piece, I wanted to draw a musician who’s music touched my soul. I used the Caran D’Ache Luminance Colour Pencils.
I tried to not only alter his features to indicate the monster, but also using colour and mood.”
