This episode of the 100 Days Sketching Challenge draws a funny monster with a focus on ASYMMETRY — the secret that makes goofy monsters so charming. By making the two sides deliberately different, you create a wonky, hilarious creature. Parikshet shows you how step by step.

- Pencil and eraser

- White for the eyes
- Black pen for outlines
How to Draw an Asymmetric Funny Monster
- Draw a wonky body — a lumpy, irregular blob shape that is NOT symmetrical. Make one side bigger or bumpier than the other.
- Add two different eyes — here's the key: make the eyes different sizes! One big and one small, or at different heights. Mismatched eyes are instantly funny.
- Draw a lopsided mouth — a goofy grin that's higher on one side than the other, maybe with one tooth sticking out.
- Add uneven arms — one long arm and one short arm, or arms in different positions.
- Add mismatched legs or feet — different sizes or numbers (three legs? why not!).
- Add one weird feature — a single horn off to one side, an antenna, or a spot — placed off-centre.
- Add texture — random spots, stripes, or fuzz, scattered unevenly.
- Colour — bright, fun, clashing colours for maximum silliness.
🌟 Did You Know?
Cartoon artists deliberately use asymmetry to make characters feel lively and funny. A perfectly symmetrical, balanced design can feel stiff or serious, but mismatched features — different-sized eyes, a crooked smile, uneven limbs — make a character feel goofy, energetic, and full of personality. This is a real professional character-design trick!
The Asymmetry Trick for Funny Monsters
- Mismatched eyes — one big, one small (the #1 funny feature)
- Lopsided grin — higher on one side
- Uneven arms and legs — different sizes or positions
- One off-centre feature — a single horn or antenna
🎯 Try This: The Wonky Monster Challenge
- Draw three monsters, each more wonky and asymmetric than the last.
- Give each one mismatched eyes and a lopsided grin.
- Add a different odd feature to each (one horn, three legs, a curly antenna).
- Pick the silliest one and give it a funny name.

Why do mismatched features make a monster funny?
Asymmetry — like mismatched eyes (one big, one small), a lopsided grin, and uneven limbs — instantly makes a creature look goofy and full of personality. Perfectly symmetrical designs feel serious or stiff, while wonky, imperfect ones feel lively and hilarious. It's a real trick that professional cartoon artists use deliberately.
How do I make a monster look goofy?
Break symmetry on purpose: give it two different-sized eyes, a crooked grin that's higher on one side, uneven arms and legs, and one weird feature (like a single horn) placed off-centre. Use bright, clashing colours. The more lopsided and imperfect, the goofier and funnier the monster looks.
Is there a wrong way to draw a monster?
No — that's the best thing about monsters! There are no rules, so you can't get it wrong. Any shape, any number of eyes or limbs, any colour works. This makes monsters the perfect subject for creative freedom and for practising inventing your own original characters from your imagination.
What is asymmetry in art?
Asymmetry means the two sides of something are different rather than matching (the opposite of symmetry). In character design, deliberate asymmetry — mismatched eyes, uneven limbs, off-centre features — adds personality, energy, and humour. It's a useful technique for making characters feel lively rather than stiff and formal.
