Mini Marker Monsters – 1


OK this is attempt 2 of doing some ACEOs. Muuuch less madness when I cut the cards out before starting 


These ACEOs are crazy fun to do, for 2 reasons-
1) You get to poke your tongue out at all the teachers who, throughout school, chastise you for drawing too small. These babies are a teeny 2.5″ by 3.5″ –  the picture below is bigger than actual size!
2) Because they are small, they take about 2.5 hours each to do. That’s pretty short for drawing, so you get a really quick positive feedback loop and that lovely feeling gained by completing a picture. It’s kind of like those first few levels in WoW, where killing 1 blind boar gives you a bazillion levels and you feel like a god.


Anyway, here is number 1 of a group of pictures themed around a Monster’s Ball. Apparently that phrase comes from medieval England- prisoners awaiting execution were called monsters, and the ball was their last meal- grizzly!
