I started with a pinch pot and made it thin and even and built on it from there. I made two pointy ears on the sides of the pinch pot. On the front side I put one big eye. Under that I put a row of pointy top teeth. I added some of these features because you need it for the outline of a face and to me it makes a monster look different and scary. My monster would be good for a pot to put a small plant into.
