How To Draw Monsters

Live from Oakland, USA

Join us on Sunday October 17th 12PM - 1:15PM EDT for a hands-on monster-drawing session with Oakland based, Spanish artist Xavier Gallego @eyesores.

We’ll learn how to draw imaginary creatures that make people happy and monstrously fun using just a sharpie! Together, we’ll use this creative process to explore different ways of thinking, tap into new or dormant creative reservoirs, and have a great time. Regardless of your professional background or drawing experience, you’ll leave with a few new illustrated, mythical friends. 

This session is ideal for all ages and drawing skill levels. 

If you are not in EDT time zone, be sure to convert the time.

What you'll need

Blank papers, a sharpie and your smile

How to join

We'll be hosting this VAWAA Online on Zoom. We'll send the link and details to join via email 1 day and again 1 hour before it begins.

About Xavier

Monsters are the great obsession of Oakland based, Spanish artist Xavier, also known as @eyesores. These monsters are not horrible and menacing, on the contrary they are cuddly and lovely. Monsters who throw messages of love, optimism and even are able to make your day happy with their sweet ugliness. They are soft and have beautiful colors as pink, green apple or clear blue.

Through this very personal iconography, we can see how cheerful and carefree his personality is and how his way of looking at life is always positive. He spreads romantic love messages and rules for happiness masterfully, using humor and a fun graphic line.

His art has been shown in solo art exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York and Istanbul and brands like Airbnb, Spotify and Mahou, have commissioned him to paint murals, illustrate campaigns or even create the identity of a new beer.

"This was the perfect creative intervention I needed at the end of a long week. The VAWAA with Xevi allowed me to unleash my creative muscles and inspiration to recharge me for the weekend and beyond. While this was a wonderful start, I would absolutely love to have more sessions with Xevi to learn how to make my monsters more minimalistic yet highly expressive like he does" - Gaurabh

"Lots of fun for all ages. My son and I had a blast and were drawing actual monsters by the end!" - J.A.
