How To Draw A Present Monster Folding Surprise

Creating a Folding Surprise Present: A Fun Drawing Activity

Let’s have some fun with a creative drawing project! We are going to make a folding surprise present that looks cute when closed but reveals a spooky surprise when opened. Get your art supplies ready, and let’s start drawing!

Materials Needed

Here’s what you need to join in this fun activity:

• A piece of paper
• A marker or drawing tool
• Coloring materials (like crayons, markers, or colored pencils)
• A scratch piece of paper (any color is fine)

Step 1: Folding the Paper

Let’s get our paper ready:

1. Fold the Paper in Half: Take the top edge of your paper and fold it down to meet the bottom edge. Press the fold to make it nice and neat.
2. Create Guide Folds: Open the paper and fold the top flap back up to the top edge. Flip the paper over and do the same. Unfold the last fold to see your guide lines.
3. Final Fold: Flip the paper back over. Now, your paper should open like a book.

Step 2: Drawing the Present

Time to draw our present:

1. Outline the Present: Put your scratch paper under your drawing paper. Draw the side of the present above the fold, making a box shape. You can choose any shape you like!
2. Add Ribbon and Bow: Draw two lines down the middle for the ribbon and a bow on top. Add details like wrinkles in the bow and ribbon ends curling out.
3. Add Eyes: Draw two circles for eyes and smaller circles inside for highlights. Color the larger circles, leaving the smaller ones white.
4. Draw a Mouth: Below the fold, draw a straight line for the mouth. Repeat this line above the fold for a symmetrical look when opened.

Step 3: Adding the Scary Surprise

Let’s make it spooky:

1. Draw Scary Teeth: Below the top fold and above the bottom fold, draw scary teeth. Use a “W” shape for the top teeth and a curved “M” shape for the bottom teeth.
2. Create a Tongue: Draw a long, scary tongue curving out from the mouth. Add stripes for a 3D effect.
3. Detail the Mouth: Draw lines to make the back of the mouth look thicker and more defined.
4. Add Ribbon Arms: Draw curves for ribbon arms coming out of the present. Use overlapping lines for a 3D effect.

Step 4: Coloring Your Creation

Now, let’s add some color! Take your time to color your present monster. Use any colors you like and add extra details to make it your own.

Conclusion

Great job! You have created your very own folding surprise present. When you open it, you’ll reveal a fun and spooky surprise inside. Remember, you can customize your drawing with different colors and details. We hope you enjoyed this creative activity. Happy drawing!
