Surely everyone at least once in his life went to the forest mushrooms. They are very diverse, but each is beautiful in its own way. That is why often there is a desire to paint this miracle of nature. And, therefore, the question arises: “How to draw mushrooms with a pencil?” At first glance it seems that there is nothing complicated: a leg, a hat and all that, but in reality this is far from the case. In order for the drawing to turn out beautiful and display the mushrooms as they really look, you should work a little.
How to draw mushrooms?
There are many ways to depict "forest dwellers" on paper. You can draw them in a composition with leaves, grass, acorn, or just depict one mushroom or a couple. Basically, in a paired drawing, one element is depicted smaller, and the other, therefore, should be larger. To simplify the task, it is better to follow the previously published rules for the sequential image of mushrooms. In this case, you should just be guided by the theory and try to implement it in practice.
How to draw mushrooms in stages?
Firstly, do not be afraid to hold a pencil in your hand. The hand should be relaxed, which will facilitate the process of drawing a picture on paper. The answer to the question: “How to draw mushrooms?” Should be unambiguous. We start work from the bottom, the base of the mushroom, and end with a hat. It is better to start the drawing with a simple pencil, so that there is an opportunity to correct the errors, if, of course, they will.
In order to properly build the leg of the mushroom, you can approximately draw vertically two circles lying on top of each other of not quite the correct shape. This will help emphasize the correct proportions of the future pattern. Just above the two drawn circles, you can draw another one that will serve as the basis for the hat. On the sides of the top you will need two more smaller circles, which will look like the ears of Cheburashka. When the basis for the drawing is ready, you can proceed to the main part. Circle the circles with one solid line, then separate the cap from the leg with a curve. And remember that mushrooms practically do not have the right shapes, so do not worry if you get the wrong lines. On the surface of the hat, you can also draw a certain bend that will give a characteristic
shape to the mushroom. The penultimate stage is the removal of the inner circles with an eraser. And on the last one it is worth doing nothing more than to decorate the painted mushroom with the help of
colored pencils or with a simple pencil with giving shadow nuances. Do not forget that the shade of the leg should be at least two times lighter than the color of the hat itself. The play of light and shadow will make your drawing more natural.
Important tip
Do not think long about how to draw mushrooms. There are no specific rules. Draw the way you see it. Experiment. And never be afraid that something might not work out. If you try and put your soul into your drawing, you will surely succeed! Turn on your imagination, remember how the mushrooms look in the pictures, then imagine how the picture you create will look like, and then get to work. The main thing is to like your drawing. But if you suddenly had to listen to criticism, take it for granted, in no case do not take it aggressively. Take a proper lesson from it and remember that the drawing initially originates in your imagination, and then on paper. Do not create for yourself any bounding box and do not be upset if it did not turn out exactly what you originally wanted to get. Love and appreciate your work!
