In this video, you'll learn how to create unique monster designs by combining different species, using an analytical approach to break down animals into basic shapes. Emphasis is placed on observing and simplifying forms, understanding proportion, and exploring asymmetry to achieve a balanced yet dynamic design. You'll see how to merge different animal features creatively, focusing on essential aspects like the brow ridge, muzzle shape, and ear structure. This process highlights the importance of detailed studies and experimentation to enhance your visual vocabulary and design skills.
