Through the use of websites like Pinterest, I was able to collect ideas and images that helped me create my monster. Most of the monsters had large eyes, a large head, and a solid colored body. The shape of the bodies and heads inspired me to make my monster adorably disproportionate.

 

Had there been an absence of technology, I would have most likely drawn inspiration in the Japanese manga style of “chibi,” or a drawing of a person that’s meant to be adorable. In order to create this desired effect they supersize the character’s eyes and head, and minimize its body. I also would have drawn inspiration from animals like hedgehogs or moles, small creatures with the same kind of body structure as my little creature.
