Humanizing plants from Plants vs Zombies (PeaShooter) 💚 | Humanizando las plantas de Plants vs Zombies (Lanza Guisantes) 💚

These are the references that I used to make our friend the Peashooter, I wanted something sheriff style, with some weapon, something like this ♡...

As I always like to mention for the little people who have never seen a post of mine, the program I use to do all my drawings is Clip Studio Paint, which I highly recommend, and my equipment is a graphics tablet, a Gaomon s620! 💚 I clearly started with the sketch, based on the reference. I wanted to do two drawings for this character, so I did one full body and the other just the face, to have more variety and more familiarity. I did the sketch briefly, I really liked how the anatomy turned out, which is something that gives me war a lot of times haha ⋆⑅˚₊⸜ 🍃‧₊˚✩彡

Once I was satisfied with the sketches, I moved on to making the Lineart! ♡ Here I did use a different brush. I added all the features of the character. Since the peashooter has like a leaf in the back of the head, I wanted to represent that with a small tail in the hair. I quite liked playing with the expressions, although the one on the face drawing I change a bit later. For the clothes I made somewhat robust garments, with a jacket and high boots, I loved how the boots looked ₊˚ʚ 🌱 ₊˚✧ ﾟ.

Once I had the Lineart ready, I moved on to adding the base colors! ♡ Before that, I wanted to organize the composition of the character sheet a bit, organizing the drawings better. I made the canvas a little smaller since it was bigger than necessary, I also put the face drawing on the left side and the full body drawing next to it at the other end, I loved how the composition turned out like that, it looks more dynamic. To add the base colors, I first painted both drawings in a gray color, so that the colors would not come out of what I painted. Then I added the colors. Based on the original character, I clearly used only shades of green except for the skin. They are colors that I normally almost never use, but I loved experimenting 🌿🍵💚🌱

And with the base colors added, I moved on to rendering! ♡

We start with my favorite part, which is rendering! ♡ This time there are two drawings, but I'll explain everything very well with this. To render, I always start first with the skin, specifically the face, adding blush on the cheeks, something very characteristic of my style. I also add strong shadows. After rendering the skin, I move on to rendering the hair. Lately, I've been doing it very quickly, only adding light spots, small shadows and lights, and I even like it better this way haha. I had never colored hair green, but I liked how it turned out. Finally, I render the clothes, I always go in that order. For the clothes, I only add shadows, which I apply with a watercolor brush. I love their texture, and since I'm not yet an expert at rendering clothes, it helps a lot. I changed the color of the Lineart in some areas and that's it. I loved the rendering of this first drawing; my favorite part was the boots! 😭 ⋆｡˚🥝˚｡⋆

I moved on to rendering the second drawing, repeating the same process: first the skin, then the hair, and then the clothes! ♡ I really liked the rendering of this second drawing, especially the hair section, where the ponytail I made for the character is more noticeable, representing that leaf the pea shooter has on the back of the head. I loved how it turned out; I feel it's very faithful to the original. I didn't spend long making this rendering, and I loved the result! 🧃⋆...

With the renderings of both drawings finished, all that was left was to decorate the card itself. I gave it a white background, as I think it's a color that really highlights the drawings. I also added decorations, the original plant, noise effects, and blur in some areas. Finally, I wanted to change the expression on the face drawing (the mouth) to make it more faithful to the pea shooter, and I thought it turned out perfectly! ୧ ‧₊˚ 🧺🍃🍵 ⋅ ☆

Pasé a renderizar el segundo dibujo, repitiendo el mismo proceso: primero la piel, luego el pelo y, por último, ¡la ropa! ♡ Me gustó mucho el renderizado de este segundo dibujo, sobre todo la sección del pelo, donde se nota más la coleta que hice para el personaje, que representa la hoja que el tirador de guisantes tiene en la parte trasera de la cabeza. Me encantó cómo quedó; es muy fiel al original. No tardé mucho en hacer este renderizado, ¡y me encantó el resultado! 🧃⋆...

Con los renderizados de ambos dibujos terminados, solo quedaba decorar la tarjeta. Le di un fondo blanco, ya que creo que es un color que resalta mucho los dibujos. También añadí decoraciones, la planta original, efectos de ruido y desenfoque en algunas zonas. Por último, quise cambiar la expresión del dibujo de la cara (la boca) para que fuera más fiel al tirador de guisantes, ¡y me pareció que quedó perfecto! ୧ ‧₊˚ 🧺🍃🍵 ⋅ ☆

¡También comparto con vosotros el TimeLapse de 30s como pequeño resumen del proceso! ♡
