Mushroom Sketch Practice
Doing some quick sketches prior to your drawing is a great way to warm up and work through your designs.
And the great thing is it only takes a few minutes to complete a session.
My drawing professor told us “I can’t teach you to draw. But I can teach you to see”. And he was right. Learning to draw is really learning to see.
And by doing a quick sketch session you’ll see things you didn’t notice before.
Here’s how you do it:
- Get some paper and something to sketch with
- Pull up some reference photos
- Set a timer for three or five minutes
- Sketch until you run out of time
Doing a mushroom sketch practice exercise will make you much more familiar with the shape and proportions of mushrooms. You’ll notice things you never paid much attention to before.
Another option is to simply sketch quickly until you run out of space on your paper. Just make sure you’re sketching and not drawing.
How to Draw a Mushroom Step by Step
The easiest approach to drawing anything is to break it down into simple shapes. Even Though drawing a mushroom is pretty easy, we’re still going to use this method.
By laying out some basic shapes to use as guides, you’ll also get over the blank page syndrome. You know, where to stare at the blank sheet of paper and can’t seem to get started.
Let’s go ahead and get started. Begin by drawing a circle or oval shape where you want the top of your mushroom to be.
It doesn’t need to be the final shape of your mushroom drawing. But it does need to be roughly the size and placement of where you want it to be.
Next, draw a rectangle for the stem. Again, this is just a guide and we can change it in whatever way we want in the upcoming steps.
Now draw out the shape for the underneath area of your mushroom where the gills are. This is where we start adding in some detail to our mushroom drawings.
Notice where the stem is in relationship to the lines you’re drawing. It should be somewhere towards the center.
Also notice how I drew through the stem to make sure my lines matched up and connected.
Now draw the shape for the top of your mushroom. There are a lot of options for this and is where the quick sketch exercise can come in handy.
Next, draw the shape of the stem. You can draw it straight, curved, thin, wide, or anything else you can come up with.
Then you can add some grass at the bottom and some spots on your mushroom.
Finish your mushroom drawing by adding the gills to the underside. I find it easiest to do this by adding a small dot on the stem and drawing the lines from there.
Add in any other details you want to include in your drawing.
Magical Mushrooms Drawing Lesson
Begin with the guidelines and shapes for the mushroom. You will start by drawing an almost balloon looking object and then a rim around the ballon. Almost like a planet.
And lastly, draw another mushroom which is sandwiched between the two you just drew. Add the grass and erase the mistakes and guides.
That’s it, you are all done. Now you can have fun coloring these mushrooms in.

Description: Hey guys. Welcome back to another fun lesson. I wanted to finally get this lesson uploaded that has been sitting pending in my tutorial folder. To start the day I would like to show you my version on magic Mushrooms drawing, step by step. Now these mushrooms do have that dreamy quality to them with a psychedelic vibe. It’s a pretty simple lesson to learn from and as you know there are so many different aspects to creating Alice in Wonderland style art, I thought the mushrooms would be something that folks may like. Anyways, I’m not going to ramble on too much about this concept because I have two exciting tuts to upload. But for now have fun drawing magical mushrooms and let me know what you think.
