The Monster Engine


Dave Devries takes children’s sketches of monsters from their imagination and renders them in paint, while keeping the scary details.

The process is simple. I project a child’s drawing with an opaque projector, faithfully tracing each line. Applying a combination of logic and instinct, I then paint the image as realistically as I can. My medium is mixed—primarily acrylic, airbrush, and colored pencil.

That looks like a kids version of the monster from the ID in Forbidden Planet.
