Mushroom Drawing

how to draw a MUSHROOM

Today we will be covering how to draw the best mushrooms in 13 easy steps, from the basic elements and shapes to texturing and painting!

creating a MUSHROOM drawing

STEP 1: drawing the 1ST MUSHROOM

Once you have located the center of your drawing area on whatever medium you are using, draw a wide oval shape.

step 2: SKETCHING THE MAIN STEM

Using the open part on the mushroom head, sketch a long and curving stem. Your stem should be relatively long.

STEP 3: ADD THE 2ND MUSHROOM

Repeat the previous two steps and draw another mushroom head and stem. Your second mushroom should be smaller in scale when compared to the first mushroom.

STEP 4: OUTLINE THE 3RD MUSHROOM

We will be repeating steps one and two again to create our third mushroom head and stem. 

STEP 5: DRAW THE LAST MUSHROOM

Repeat steps one and two to add our fourth and final mushroom head and stem. When drawing this mushroom, make sure to sketch the smallest mushroom so far.

step 6: COMPLETE THE OUTLINES

Using all of your previously drawn constructions lines to help you, start to draw the finer and more realistic outline of each mushroom.

STEP 7: ADDING SOME DETAILS

Firstly, add some lines and dots to create a texture within the stem. Secondly, concentrate on your mushroom head.

step 8: DRAWING THE GRASS

To create a realistic base for the mushrooms, draw a curved line with sharp strokes of grass sticking out on the left and right of the mushroom stems.

STEP 9: ADD THE 1ST COAT OF COLOR

Using a regular brush and a green color, paint the grass evenly. Next up are your mushroom domes, which can be painted with a regular brush and an orange color.

step 10: CONTOURING SMALL DETAILS

Using a soft brush, choose a light brown color and lightly follow the texture and detailed lines inside your mushrooms to add a contouring effect.

STEP 11: SHADING THE MUSHROOMS

Using a soft brush, gently apply the paint to add shading to the inner part of the mushroom heads and stems. Repeat this process on the outer domes of all four mushroom heads.

step 12: COMPLETING THE GRASS

Fill in the bottom area of your grass in a darker shade. This will help with the 3D illusion you are trying to create.

STEP 13: trace final outlines

Using a sharp fine brush with the corresponding colors, start tracing all of the dark outlines in your drawing. This will result in a seamless and neat final artwork, without any visible outlines.
