Welcome to Collaborative Monster Drawing
This is a shared drawing experiment: one person draws a head, another the torso, another the legs—without seeing the others’ parts until the end.
Before You Begin
- Best for 3–8 people
- Sit around a table so it’s easy to pass papers
- Keep the mood light and silly
Flow of the Game
1. Fold and Start (10 minutes)
- Fold each paper into three or four sections (head, torso, legs, feet)
- One person draws the head in the top section, then folds it backward so it’s hidden and passes the paper on
2. Add Sections (20–30 minutes)
- Each person adds the next section based only on small guide marks at the edges
- Keep passing and drawing until all sections are filled
3. Reveal (10–15 minutes)
- Unfold each paper and reveal the full monsters one by one
- Hold them up and enjoy the surprises
Variations & Ideas
- Creature bios: Write a short description or “origin story” for each monster.
- Theme monsters: Monsters from specific places (city, forest, space).
- Color round: Add color in a second pass.
