Today I have a fun, and quite frankly adorably cute, drawing exercise from the book Doodling with Jim Henson: More than 50 fun & fanciful artistic exercises to inspire the doodler in you!. This exercise states that you should draw these little creatures in a space and then tell a story about them. I would also suggest giving them a name. I had so much fun naming my aminekos. It was a part of giving them character and a personality after they had their faces. When you draw a character in an unusual place the possibilities of the stories can be endlessly funny and I bet they will just come to you!
