20 Minute Monster Series: Monster Manual II

This is the third in a series of annual timed drawing exercises. They were livestreamed on Sunday mornings on my youtube channel. First I went through the AD&D Monster Manual, choosing one monster from each letter of the alphabet. Then I did the same with the Fiend Folio and finally, here, the Monster Manual II (1983).
