    1. It is ok if you want to take a photo of your sketch with your iPad place it in Illustrator to reference
    2. File > Place
    3. I would LOCK this placed layer (click on it, then go up to Object > Lock > Selection)
    4. Place this on the BOTTOM layer (you must remove this layer before you turn in the monster)
  2. Make all the body parts separate so that you can colorize them to look 3-D
  3. Use multiple layers
