Bloo Monster

About a week ago we were assigned the Monster project.
Basically we were suppose to loosely follow a tutorial and create our own cartoon-like monster in illustrator.
My Monster

My monster kind of resembles a cartoon monster I've seen before..but anyway The first thing I created was the eyes which basically just circle gradients, I chose blue because it's my favorite color. The next thing I did was create the shape for the body, which includes the arms. I strayed away from the tutorial a lil bit when I made the mouth. I used a clipping mask for the tongue and teeth but I chose a different method for the teeth.
The last thing I did was the hair or fur. The first thing I did was create the hair the same color as the body and then I came back over it with the highlighted hair. I did small touche up on the hair and added the background and shadow.
I had fun working on this, it was pretty simple an it came out well.
