I Spent The Summer Drawing 150 Monsters Based On Kid Drawings
297Kviews
Near the end of the last school year, I invited kids around the state of Michigan to send me monster designs. Close to 3,000 drawings showed up to my house. I spent the summer picking out designs that inspired me as an illustrator, and I worked up fully rendered pieces of "fan art" in colored pencil with the same techniques I use when illustrating picture books.
The collection is on display during ArtPrize 2017 in Grand Rapids Michigan outside the Children's Museum. Throughout ArtPrize, kids continue to submit designs, I illustrate new fan art monsters Live on-site, and the results are added daily to the growing collection.

I wish I could up vote this more than once ! I loved the comparison between the children's submissions & your drawings , as well as the bright use of colors ! Super job by the children, &, by you , the illustrator !
They should make teddies out of all these drawings and give them to the kids
Awesome! I love the creativity of both, the drawings of the children and your illustrations based on them :)
