This episode of the 100 Days Sketching Challenge draws a funny monster with a focus on ASYMMETRY โ€” 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.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ What You Need

  • Pencil and eraser
  • Bright fun markers
  • White for the eyes
  • Black pen for outlines

How to Draw an Asymmetric Funny Monster

  1. Draw a wonky body โ€” a lumpy, irregular blob shape that is NOT symmetrical. Make one side bigger or bumpier than the other.
  2. Add two different eyes โ€” here's the key: make the eyes different sizes! One big and one small, or at different heights. Mismatched eyes are instantly funny.
  3. Draw a lopsided mouth โ€” a goofy grin that's higher on one side than the other, maybe with one tooth sticking out.
  4. Add uneven arms โ€” one long arm and one short arm, or arms in different positions.
  5. Add mismatched legs or feet โ€” different sizes or numbers (three legs? why not!).
  6. Add one weird feature โ€” a single horn off to one side, an antenna, or a spot โ€” placed off-centre.
  7. Add texture โ€” random spots, stripes, or fuzz, scattered unevenly.
  8. Colour โ€” bright, fun, clashing colours for maximum silliness.
๐Ÿ’ก Parikshet's Tip: The secret to a FUNNY monster is breaking symmetry on purpose โ€” mismatched eyes (one big, one small), a lopsided grin, and uneven arms and legs. Perfectly symmetrical creatures look serious; wonky, lopsided ones look hilarious. Embrace the imperfection!

๐ŸŒŸ 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 โ€” different-sized eyes, a crooked smile, uneven limbs โ€” 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 โ€” one big, one small (the #1 funny feature)
  • Lopsided grin โ€” higher on one side
  • Uneven arms and legs โ€” different sizes or positions
  • One off-centre feature โ€” a single horn or antenna

๐ŸŽฏ Try This: The Wonky Monster Challenge

  1. Draw three monsters, each more wonky and asymmetric than the last.
  2. Give each one mismatched eyes and a lopsided grin.
  3. Add a different odd feature to each (one horn, three legs, a curly antenna).
  4. Pick the silliest one and give it a funny name.
