How to draw mushrooms

Mushrooms are such a fascinating part of creation—they grow from decay and bring beauty to places once lifeless. That beautiful transformation reminds me of Jesus, who brings new life out of brokenness through His death and resurrection. 🌱✝️


As you draw, take a moment to reflect: What in your life has been made new? Let this little art project be a reminder of the beauty that can grow in unexpected places.

✏️ Supplies You’ll Need:

  • Pencil (for sketching)

  • Eraser

  • Pen or marker (for outlining)

🖍️ Step-by-Step Mushroom Drawing Tutorial


Step 1: Start with a horizontal oval

This will form the base for the underside of your mushroom cap.

Step 2: Add a dome on top

Draw a half-circle or dome shape resting on the oval. This is the mushroom cap.

Step 3: Draw the stem

Sketch a thick, curved stem underneath the cap. Let it be a little wider at the base for a natural feel.

Step 4: Erase the hidden line

Gently erase the part of the oval that’s behind the stem so it looks more three-dimensional.

Step 5: Add gill guidelines

Draw three evenly spaced lines from the top of the stem to the edge of the oval (like slicing a pizza!). These will become the gills of your mushroom.

Step 6: Fill in more gills

Add additional lines between your first three to create that lovely textured undercap. Don’t stress about perfection—nature isn’t perfect either!

Step 7: Add fun details

Draw little circles or ovals on the cap to mimic the spots mushrooms often have. You can even add a smiley face if you want a cute woodland vibe!

Let your creativity bloom here—mushrooms come in all colors, shapes, and sizes! Red with white dots, soft browns, magical purples... the forest is your palette.
