LESSON NOTES

Scott Flanders is back to help you with your character concept designs! In this free lesson taken from his Monster Lab course, he teaches you his method for brainstorming ideas that you can apply when designing characters. The first part of the lesson covers note taking and writing out a character trait list. You’ll see how Scott pulls from iconic pop culture creatures like the Headless Horseman, Swamp Thing, and Little Shop of Horrors to inspire his own monster designs. In the second half you’ll see how he takes those traits and uses them as a jumping off point for his own thumbnail sketches. If you want more help with your character designs check out his Monster Lab course

I'm so excited for this! I have a question... should I attempt to create my own monster or create an pumpkin monster? I'm a beginner for monster creation and don't know where to start.

This was really helpful! I’m not into creating monsters specifically, but I can see this process translating into creating any kind of creature in a great way! I will deffinatly watch it again! Thank you!
