Plants vs. Zombies... First Line of Defence!

A popular game on the Internet - in Plants vs. Zombies, you find yourself in the following situation....
YOUR HOME IS BEING INVADED BY ZOMBIES!
But...
You've got these 'cute' little "zombie-zapping" plants - allowing you to defend yourself against the onslaught.
Here, let's draw the 'first line of defence'... this cute little sunflower character.
And before we begin, thanks for the suggestion Jack! :-)
First Step - Same as a Real Sunflower (Just Add a Face!)
In drawing this character, our main concern is mapping out and/or visualizing the key shapes which play a role. Up top - an oval. And down below, two circles to help position the cartoonish leaves, as they branch out on either side.
Here it is...
Really, this is more than enough to get going with such a simple character to draw.
Let's begin...

Alright, zoom in on that oval to start. And using the steps below... sketch in the various components - beginning with the eyes and mouth (it's not open in the game I don't think)... then out to the head/petals... and then finish it off!
Here goes...
Quite the fun, cute, DANGEROUS (to zombies!)... character.
And that's that. Another drawing lesson under your belt, and more practice to take you to your ultimate (and continuous) goal --- improving at drawing! :-)
See you later!
