Happy Holiday everyone ! It's a bit overcast and chilly here in Southwestern Michigan and a lot of folks that came here to swim in Lake Michigan are going to be disappointed. People can still enjoy the day however, as we have a few galleries and some neat shops to browse as well as some great restaurants to dine in. It's been a chilly summer in Harbor Country.
One of my readers, Chad, asked to see more monster art, so this and the next post will show a few more pages of my 1974 book HOW TO DRAW MONSTERS.

Thanks for posting these Harry.They're great.What do I have to do to right click them and see them larger?
Hi Chad,
I'm pleased that you enjoyed them.
I don't have it set up so that the images can be blown up, something I'll think about for future posts though.

Thanks Harry.It's just to see the intricacy of the detail.One of the things that separates your work from the usual cartoon approach is the strong design element that pervades all your illustrations, it adds a sort of richness that's not often present in 'cartoon' work.
Also,I've been looking at your color visuals/storyboards,lovely work BTW,and wondered if you had a specific approach to color ie using triads or complimentaries or whether it was an instinctive feeling for a scheme?
Hi Chad,
In working with color I don't have a specific approach, it's really more of an instinctive thing. I also enjoy experimenting with color and attempt to attain certain moods, especially in the storyboard work and often when painting scenes.
Harry
