How to draw a mushroom with a pencil step-by-step tutorial.

Updated: Jan 18

There are a huge number of varieties and forms of mushrooms.

In our drawing tutorial, we will draw one of the mushroom varieties. I chose a classic adult porcini mushroom for this drawing tutorial.


Step 1. Outline the position of the mushrooms on the sheet of paper.

Let's mark the sheet with the horizontal and vertical axes and outline the future mushrooms with cross-shaped lines.

Step 2. Outline the shape of the mushroom's cap and stem in our drawing.

Our mushrooms consist of two primary geometric shapes: an oval stalk body and half a ball - a cap.

Step 3. Erase auxiliary lines. Draw the mushrooms with a harder pencil.

Let's erase the auxiliary lines with an eraser. Relaxing the hand, draw an inextricable line (with one stroke) around the outline of the mushrooms. Outline a bit of grass next to the stems.

Step 4. Hatching the mushroom caps and stems in our drawing.

Lightly shading with a hard pencil F, tone the mushroom caps, giving them a visual volume. With light vertical lines of a medium-soft 4B pencil, draw the texture of the stems of the mushrooms and the porous lower part of the cap.

Continue hatching the mushrooms to show their volume, shades below the caps, and the texture of the stems.
