We decided to draw our on monsters in the same style. The kids really took a second look at how it was done. The cross hatching, washes and final colouring, the lack of straight line and the interesting textures. They kept going back and really really looking. The idea was we would draw monsters the same way and then try and do a completely unrelated object in the same style in a few days.
Initially it was a sketch in pencil.
A watercolour wash in the areas we needed it
A lot of fine detail in a thin black pen. The artworks were left out and they kept going back to them and adding more detail
Followed by further colouring with watercolour pencils by those that wanted stronger colour.
Make sure the grown ups in your household have a go too it really
You can do this with any illustrator you love .
