How to Draw a Plant Monster Out of Pot

Do you want to create an eye-catching monster from everyday objects? With just a few materials, you can turn a simple pot into a terrifying plant monster. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps on how to draw a plant monster out of a pot.

Materials Needed

Before starting, make sure you have the following materials:

One clay or ceramic pot

Paintbrushes

Acrylic paint (black, green, yellow, and white)

Paper towels

Newspaper or plastic sheet to protect your workspace

A pencil and eraser

Step 1: Clean Your Pot

Remove any dirt or debris from your pot and clean it thoroughly. Wipe the pot with a damp paper towel to remove any residue, dust, or grease that may be present.

Step 2: Sketch Your Monster

With your pencil, sketch the outline of your monster on the pot. You can use references or draw your monster from imagination. Start with the basic shape and add details, like spikes, teeth, and eyes.

Step 3: Paint the Base

Paint the base of your pot with black acrylic paint. It will help the colors pop and provide a dark background for your monster. Use a small paintbrush to cover the pot evenly.

Step 4: Add the Background

With a larger brush, paint the background with green acrylic paint. Add lighter or darker shades of green to create depth and texture. Use a paper towel to blend the colors and create a natural look. Allow it to dry completely before moving to the next step.

Step 5: Paint Your Plant Monster

Now, it's time to give life to your monster. Paint the body of your monster with green acrylic paint. Use a thin brush for details and a larger one for larger areas. Add yellow or white spots or stripes to create contrast and highlight some areas of the creature. Don't forget to paint the eyes, teeth, or any additional features you added on your sketch. Allow the paint to dry completely.

Step 6: Finish and Protect Your Pot

Once your paint is dry, cover your monster with a clear coat of acrylic varnish. It will protect the paint from fading or chipping and add a glossy finish to your creation. You can also add any other details, like glued-on googly eyes or glitter, to make it stand out even more.

Conclusion

Wow! Now you have a scary yet stunning plant monster crafted from a simple pot. You can use it as a decoration in your garden, in your room, or even as a gift to your plant-loving friends. Don't be afraid to experiment with colors, shapes, or features to create your unique monster. The sky is the limit! Happy crafting!
