For my monster I made the face by using three circles and the shape builder tool to connect them. I made the eyes by creating a circle and using the distort tool on them, I did this to create the legs and eyebrows as well. For the legs and eyes I used the line segment tool and used the width tool as well to create a tapered look. For the mouth I used two circles overlapped to create the shape then used the segment connector tool to make it one shape. For the teeth I made a square and deleted an anchor point. I used my direct selection tool to make them long and skinny, then the reflect tool to make an opposite. I created a gradient in the background using the gradient tool and made it radial. I also used the spiral tool on the face.
