1 Start with a pencil outline . Do the same process on the small

mushroom but hatch in short strokes.
Use vertical strokes at the bottom of
the cap to give the drawing volume.

2

With a 2B pencil,The first layer is
simply light hatching to differrentiate the
light parts and dark parts.
Use the X pattern when shading. 5

The last step is to darken the area with
the most heaviest shadows using an
8B pencil . Pick up unwanted graphite
on the highlight area using a kneaded
eraser.

3

Add darker shades under each fold on the
mushroom cap to make the texture more
prominent . so from the top of the fold is
dark , the middle is light and darker at the
drop. there is white tuffs on the strings
therefore just shade in between it .
As for the stem shade diagonally to
show the direction of the light . Use the
6B pencil for this step.
