Welcome to Pokemon Type Swap!
In this series i will be taking classic pokemon and changing their type — creating a new, fresh look. I am currently picking pokemon in no particular order and choosing a type i think would fit. Comment any suggestions for future ones below.
Todays pokemon is Haunter, i have chosen to draw it as an Ice type.
Today marks one week of these already! I have had great fun drawing these and hope i can keep up at doing 1 per day. Haunter is one of my favourite pokemon and this turned into one of my favourite drawings so far.
Orginial Sketch & Outline
To turn Haunter into an Ice type, i played around with its usual spikes to make them look more random and like icicles. I also made the teeth into icicles and made his hands a bit sharper and longer.
Colour
Haunter was easy to colour as it is mainly one colour. I chose a light blue for the body. I thought the blie was too dark and made it even lighter and more ice/snow like.
Shading & Background
I added shading to give the effect that there was many hard edges like when ice is broken and would have these edges before it starts to melt.
I then added an icy tundra background with some cliffs. I added some more highlights to further define Haunter as he began to to look flat again at this stage since most of the colours are light and cool.
