Step 2.
I created a new layer and placed it above the little monster sketch layer. I turned the opacity down to about 40% and started coloring. I always make sure to then bring the color layer back to 100% and check how my coloring is looking.

Step 3.
I turned the color layer to 100% and hid the sketch layer. Now it is easy to make changes or add to the image. This is still needs to be touched up but I liked the over all look!

Step 4.
I decided this little monster needed a girl friend. So I copied my monster layer. (oh I think I forgot to mention it is sometimes good to create layers for different parts of your illustration. ex. I put the hat on a different layer). I then added a purple bow, made eyelashes and changed the girl monsters glasses to pink along with her socks!

So I think this little monster couple would look cute on maybe a valentine card? maybe a shirt or tote bag? I think I may have to turn this little couple into a digital stamp! I can see these as little plush and maybe even clay characters! My goal is to start branching out and create more than just digital stamps! What can you see these monsters as?
