Art Date with Rain -- "Mushrooms"

Here's my contribution for Thursday's upcoming art prompt at

I have to post it early because of reasons.

Anyway, I did these mushrooms in pen and ink in 2023,
using the techniques of hatching and cross-hatching.

I've been saving up this drawing all year just for this prompt!


And here's another mushroom, but one
with a serious attitude problem, LOL!


This plushie was a gift from my sister!

I like the "stuffed" mushroom.

Hello Debra, Your drawing looks like a book illustration from the early 1900's. At first glance, I would have guessed it to be a woodcut.

I would be very happy to have the pen and ink mushrooms framed and on my wall.

LOL The last meme is so funny

Tundra Bunny said...

Sooooo, the morel of your story is "don't give a shitake"?!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Tundra Bunny -- Yes, that's the "morel" alright. GROAN!

Mike said...

I'm glad you remembered you had that drawing. I would not have.

Busy Bee Suz said...

I love your mushrooms! Also, the not-giving-a-shitake one! The patience you have with all the hatches/cross hatches is mind boggling.

Love your mushrooms. Love how the subject is escaping the confines of the rectangle. I understood cross-hatching but had never considered 'hatching'. That must be the many small straight lines together giving a shallower depth of shadow. Such an education you provide!

A lovely sketch. And the plushroom is awesome

Janie Junebug said...

That's an excellent drawing--as usual.

Love,
Janie

Funny indeed. We love mushrooms too in each variation... provided that they are not poisonous.
