How To Draw and Color Mushrooms

Mushrooms come in a variety of shapes and sizes. For this post, I'm going to show you how to draw a mushroom called an Amanita Muscaria. They are such beautiful mushrooms. As a kid, I always loved mushrooms, Not because of the way they taste, Or for drug reasons. More because of their beauty. The bizarre fungi that grow from the ground, Little stalks with hats and gills. They are strange but so intriguing.

The Amanita Muscaria is like the Mario Mushroom, I haven't seen this mushroom in person, but I hope to one day see one.

  • They have a blood red cap, White patches; They have a ring and a bulb-like base.

They have gills that are mostly free.

They are poisonous

They are usually found in California,

Also seen in Maine, New York, and Connecticut.

Lets get started on the drawing

Draw a Cap

Draw a second

Draw the stalks

Draw the bulb and veil

Draw the polka dots

Start coloring

More coloring, Avoid the dots

Add some grey for the shades

Added the sky

I have chosen to outline my mushrooms. But you don't have to. There are no outlines in real life, But I have elected to outline Because with markers it's not very realistic with the colors available. ( I used basic sharpies, )
