From simple doodles to more advanced drawings and paintings, let’s scratch the surface of the fantastical and take a look at some of the unique and amazing ways you can draw mushrooms while unleashing your inner artist!

Let’s get started!

1. Mushroom Outline

This is one of the easiest ways to draw a mushroom because you don’t have to capture any detail.

Instead, you’re only focusing on the shape.

What’s even better is that you draw whatever you’d like inside the line art, whether you want to color it, add a completely unique design, or just doodle it down in your note or sketchbook, this drawing idea is so versatile!

2. Simple Mushroom Doodles

Like the above idea, try drawing simple mushroom doodles.

These are great to draw because they need little to no detail, are super quick, and are extremely cute to add to a planner, notebook, or sketchbook.

You can try sketching them in ink or just use pencil.

These mushroom doodles can be as small or simple as you like. I personally like making them small because I want to draw something really quick, almost like a tiny symbol.

Try experimenting with different shapes, stems, and mushroom caps to really make your fantasy mushroom drawing ideas stand out even more!

3.Fantasy Mushroom Drawing Ideas with Silhouettes

Now, unlike the previous ideas, work in reverse this time and try drawing mushroom silhouettes.

These are fantastic to draw because you can really vary the shapes and come up with so many interesting mushroom designs and ideas.

All you need to do is either draw an outline first, then fill it in with a solid color. Or, use large strokes to make big marks on a page and then refine it.

Again, super simple and quick!

4. Draw Beautiful Mushrooms

Drawing stylized an beautiful mushrooms are super fun because you can exaggerate forms and use really bright colors that can really sell the idea of a fantasy mushroom.

Maybe it has crystals? Or maybe it’s a special kind of plant that has special healing properties?

Whatever you want to draw, make sure it has a story or purpose. It will really make your design unique and show-stopping.

5. Realistic Mushroom

Now, on to more of the fancy stuff.

Try drawing a realistic mushroom.

Now, I know this may seem hard at first but give it a try. And no, it doesn’t need to look perfect. Just try to capture what you see.

Try your best to capture the details in the mushroom but make sure to simplify them – they don’t need to be 100% spot on or look exactly like the reference image.

When you draw things from life, you expand your visual library and learn what makes things realistic, such as lighting and detail. Take this chance to challenge yourself and push your drawing skills further.

6. Cartoon Mushroom Drawing

What’s great about a cartoon mushroom is it doesn’t have to be realistic at all!

You can exaggerate the mushroom cap or stem as much as you’d like and get creative with it.

Tall mushroom? No problem! Chunky mushroom? Even better!

Also, feel free to get colorful with it. Use whatever colors you’d like.

7. Draw a Fantasy Mushroom House

Mushroom houses are so cute!

I love wondering who lives there. Plus, it’s so much fun adding little details like clotheslines, windows, and even a chimney.

The more story you add to it, the more interesting your drawing will look.

Some questions to ask, are:

• Who lives in the mushroom?
• Why do they live there?
• What do they need to live there?

This will really help in making your toadstool house believable and that it exists in the fantasy world.

8. Fantasy Mushroom Forest

If you want to get really creative, try making a mushroom forest.

You can go as detailed or simple as you’d like.

I opted for a more magical feeling with bold colors and towering mushrooms in the back because I wanted this scene to feel immersive.

Draw as many mushrooms as you can fit. Try varying the sizes.

And don’t forget to add the trees!

9. Watercolor Mushroom Painting

Instead of using more restrictive mediums like pencil and pen, try using watercolors to create your mushrooms.

Not only is it more loose and gestural but you can get some really cool wash and color effects in a jiffy.

Try using different colors and large brushstrokes to come up with unique fantasy mushroom drawing ideas.

10. Mushroom Pencil Drawing

Ah, good ‘ol pencil drawings.

You can sketch a simple mushroom with just a pencil.

Vary your values/shading for a more realistic look or you can make it very easy with only drawing line art instead.

Try adding grass to make it look more believable, lite it’s rooted in the soil.

11. Mushroom Drawing with Color

Last but definitely not least, don’t forget to add some color to your beautiful mushroom art!

Use your imagination to bring your mushrooms to life.

I chose to make these mushrooms blue because it’s my favorite color and brings me joy.

Try using your favorite colors.

You can test out different color combinations and mushroom types for a fantastical and magical look.

What’s a Fantasy Mushroom Drawing?

Fantasy mushroom drawings are whimsical, charming, and sometimes exaggerated portrayals of mushrooms using either traditional or digital art mediums, often with some magical or imaginative element.

These types of drawings can be depictions of mushrooms that don’t exist in reality, ideas of mushrooms being used in unconventional ways such as houses or crystals, or very colorful illustrations.

Common fantasy mushroom art you may see online can consist of pencil or ink sketches, drawings, mushroom houses, red spotted mushrooms, mushroom people & cute mushrooms with animals.
