Fungifriday “Fungi Art” :my Mushroom Drawing, the SBS of how I created it and some edited versions. 😎

Hi all,

Today we have a Super Special and Challenging topic in the #FungiFriday community.
Hive account@ewkaw chose the Topic : ”Fungi Art”
And as I said in the (not so distant) past, I will draw or paint some mushrooms and fungis once in a while, I have to oblige of course today 😉

I didn’t have much time this week, so yesterday evening I made a quick sketch and captured my progress of how I created the drawing.
Hereby I want to show you all my Step by Steps of this drawing and a few edited images of it in LightX Express.

The sketch pad I use is from Hahnemüle, the size is 30 x 30 cm and 170 grams/m2 so it is quite thick. I love to draw on this paper and make most of my drawings on it.

Step 1

My materials are graphite pencils in the range of 2B, 4B and 6B for the darker darks. Further a soft brush for spreading the graphite out over the paper/ make it smooth and blend and a TomBoy Mono Zero eraser for the highlights.
The paper has a large grain which I like a lot. You can use it in your drawing.

Step 2

Here I started the mushroom, I decided on just one with a blurred out background. I drew the outside lines and started the shadow. It is standing in some grass and moss. This is done with the 2B pencil.

Step 3

Now that I have my main features of the mushroom I start with the 4B pencil softly, holding it sideways, the background.

Step 4

After I have put down a soft layer on the background I go over it with the soft brush to blend it a bit. (The eraser is only to hold the brush for the photo hahaha it was rolling away😉)

Step 5

I drew more grass and plants and moss, but faded… blurred out into the background as I want the mushroom to steal the show. Added more details too.

Step 6

My finished drawing of this Mushroom

Now I show you a few other versions/ edits I created in an editing program. I was just playing around… 😎🎨 but I liked some of them.

Here you see I added a little colour and faded it more.

This one is more Black and White and a bit darker.

I like this edit, it looks like a proper illustration.

A very dark themed Mushroom 🖤

This is my favourite edited version of my mushroom drawing. 🥰😎
