For this project you will need to come up with a name for your monster and you will need to come up with a 5 sentence story about your monster that will help sell it to a 5 year old you. As in your client is a 5 year old you.
The best way to create the file for your Monster is to download the file below onto your desktop. Than open a New File in Illustrator that is 8 inches by 10 inches. Once you have the file set you will need to place the Monster Template (DOWNLOAD the 3D TEMPLATE HERE as a PDF or 3D Template (JPEG)) into your new file by going to File- than Place. If it asks if it is Media or Art please pick MEDIA. Once your file is placed you will got to the bar above the image and to the arrow to the right of Image Trace and scroll down to Black and White Logo.
Once that is complete the bar that had the Image Trace will have Expand. Click on Expand and your Monster will turn into a Live Paint Image. Go to the tool bar and find the Shape Builder Tool and hold it down to find the Live Paint Bucket or click K.
