Hee. :D Awesome concept.
 
I'd make the nose less prominent... Like, just do either a small line for the bottom of its nose or make the triangle-looking nose not as long. The line that would serve as the arch.
...Does that make ANY sense? >.<
 
I'd also try to make the fangs look a little more pointed.
 
Good luck. ^^

Huzzah! ^^ Good luck, I'd recommend a light source and some glare on the "screen". :D

@bluwriter-Thanks! thats a great idea.

@purpletree- Umm idk if you can acually draw that but for the weekly challenge it has to be a household item, wiht a monster on it. so idk. and i know its not very good, that is because of school taking up most of my time. i have a cold-day today so i will work hard :]

Hmm..by looking at this, I'd say that you really need to put a little depth on this. Currently, there's no shading and so the image looks flat. Also, the monster itself doesn't look too-monstery. I think it really needs a little more personality than just a face on a screen.
 
I know this is early in development, but see if you can refine the monster before you move too far.

I think it would be cool if the monster was drawn onto the etch-a-sketch piece by piece or something, then the face starts moving. I dunno, just ideas.

Mantis, that would be AWESOME. Difficult and time consuming, but AWESOME.
 
You can't seperate lines. Hrm. Maybe try to make it so that the face is either...more complex or have it so it's all connected, but looks better than just a bunch of lines connecting it. :P (And, you *can* make curved lines. It's not too easy, but if you're good enough, you can)
