Getting Started
There are many kinds of mushrooms and ways to draw them. Today we will look at how to draw chanterelles, toadstool mushrooms, boletus, and trippy mushrooms.
Once you’ve decided which type of mushroom you want to draw, it’s time to gather your materials. As we mentioned before, you will need a piece of paper and a pencil (or any other drawing materials that you’re comfortable with).
How to Draw the Chanterelle Mushrooms
Chanterelle mushrooms are one of the easiest types of mushrooms to draw. They have a simple shape and they’re usually a uniform color. We are going to draw it with a simple pencil from life and paint it with watercolors.
1. Estimate the Size of the Mushroom
First, we need to determine the proportions and size of the mushroom. To do this, we mark on the paper with small lines where the cap of the mushroom, the stem, and the gills will be located.
2. Draw the Cap
To start, draw a curved line for the mushroom cap. The line doesn’t have to be perfect – it can be wavy or curved.
3. Draw the Stem
Next, draw a straight or slightly curved line coming down from the center of the cap. This will be the stem of the mushroom. The stem should widen slightly at the bottom. Under the cap, the stem should resemble a triangle. These will be the gills of the mushroom.
4. Adjust Dimensions and Add Details
If necessary, you need to slightly adjust the size of the mushroom to look more realistic. Then add wavy lines on the cap. Erase unnecessary lines with an eraser.
5. Add Colors
First, let’s paint the mushroom orange completely. I will use watercolor paint.
6. Add Shadows
Then add some shadows on the hat with the help of water. The edges and center of the cap darken with brown. So the mushroom seems more realistic.
7. Draw the Gills
Under the cap draw a series of curved lines. These lines will be the gills of the mushroom. Make sure to space them out evenly.
8. Add More Details and Color
Now it’s time to add some details and color to your drawing. If you want, you can add shading to the mushroom cap and stem. You can also add a highlight to the spores by drawing a small circle next to each one. When you’re finished, your chanterelle mushroom should look something like this:
How to Draw the Toadstool Mushrooms
Toadstool mushrooms are another easy type of mushroom to draw. They have a similar shape to chanterelle mushrooms, but they’re usually taller and thinner.
1. Draw the Cap
To draw a toadstool mushroom, the first thing to do is to draw the cap. Start by drawing a small semicircle in the center of your paper.
2. Draw the Stem
Next, draw a vertical line coming down from the center of the circle. This will be the stem of the mushroom. Make sure to make the line as straight as possible.
3. Draw the Gills
On either side of the stem, draw a series of curved lines. These lines will be the gills of the mushroom. Make sure to make them evenly spaced out.
4. Add Details
To make the drawing look more interesting draw next to our large mushroom two small ones. Then add the grass leaves under the mushroom.
5. Draw the Spots
Toadstool mushrooms have spots on their caps. To add these, start by drawing a small circle at the top of the mushroom cap. Then, draw another circle below it that’s slightly larger. Repeat this process until you’ve filled up the entire mushroom cap with spots.
6. Color in Your Mushroom
Now it’s time to color in your mushroom. Toadstool mushrooms are typically red, but you can use any color you like. Once you’re finished, your toadstool mushroom is complete!
How to Draw a Boletus Mushroom
Boletus mushrooms are a type of mushroom that has a large, round cap. They can be different colors, but they’re usually brown or red.
1. Draw the Cap
Start by drawing a large, round circle for the cap of the mushroom. Then, add some small bumps around the edge of the circle to give it texture.
2. Draw the Stem
Next, draw a long, thin rectangle coming out from the bottom of the cap. This is the stem of the mushroom.
3. Add Colors
Color the cap mushroom brown, and foot beige. I will use gouache.
4. Add Details
Finally, add any other details you like, such as spots on the mushroom cap or leaves around the base of the stem. Then, color in your mushroom however you like!
How To Draw A Trippy Mushroom
To draw a trippy mushroom, start by drawing a basic mushroom shape. Then, add some Crazy lines and colors for the psychedelic effect. Finally, add some details like spots or stripes.
1. Draw A Shape
First, start by drawing a basic mushroom shape. This can be done by drawing a large circle for the cap and a small oval for the stem. Then, add some lines to give the mushroom some texture.
2. Add Some Crazy Lines And Colors
Next, it’s time to add some Crazy lines and colors for the psychedelic effect. To do this, simply draw some curved lines all over the mushroom. Then, add some random colors inside the lines.
3. Add Some Details
Finally, add some details like spots or stripes. This will give your mushroom some extra personality.
