FungiFriday - if only Henri Matisse could participate...

in FungiFriday3 years ago (edited)

I wasn't going to post any drawings for today's #Fungifriday. I didn't even think of that. But after I sat down and started to scroll though today's entries and saw the artsy ones... well... I felt a little embarrassed.

So while doing other chores I was thinking what to draw. It is always faster, when you have the idea ready. And it all started with a completely different one. But as the day went by it all changed.
A few times.
One thing lead to another until I ended up on something that reminded me of Henri Matisse paintings. One paining actually. Oh if only he could participate...
I am sure he would if he didn't die in 1954 :) Then that one paining would look a lot different. Most definitely!

But since he is not here....

It all started with the idea as you know.
Then just a quick guidelines to know what's where. Saves time fixing it later too.

Must add mushrooms of course.
Just a rough sketch for now to get the idea on a paper.

2.jpg

Now it all starts to come together. I use Sketchbook app to draw and with their ink pen I outline the shapes. Awesome pen by the way and it is the one I normally use for anything.
After I have that done I hide the previous two layers. Won't need them anymore.

Time for the fun part - coloring!
Each mushroom on a separate layer too. It's easier to fix some mess-ups that way without touching other shroomsies.

Basic colours done. Now adding some details and shadows to each one of them. Now they get some characters and faces.
After I am happy with the result, I merge all the layers so the details, outlines and colours for each mushroom are on one.

That Amanita came to the party drunk... nothing I can do about it.

Time to add some stuff to the background. It will add dimension to the image too. Ink pen is the shit here again :)

Amanita still drinking.
I have no words for that dude...

6.jpg

Time to frame them!
And add my name so they know who framed them.

7.jpg

And I was gonna finish here. Normally I would keep the background white, but why not try some colours.
With some cool effect brush I added some sky and "grass".
We are done!

And just so you know which Matisse paining I was thinking of, this one 👇. Almost the same right? 😆

No, definitely Henri Matisse could not draw as beautifully as you! :-)
And especially a drunk fly amanita! :-)

It turned out beautiful!

Thank you!

❤️‍

It’s so good @ewkaw 😊 I love them. I knew the painting of Matisse.
I’m glad you entered.

What I also see is you can draw. Your sketch tells tells me. 😎
I like the development and all steps.
Both last images are cute. The last one were you worked longer on and gave the background some colour and the one before.
Your whole artwork beams out joy and happiness.
I love it 🥰

Don't make me blush! 😊
Thank you!

I often have a giggle when I draw... especially when that drunk one showed up. That wasn't planned :p
Or when I add some silly stuff around.

You are welcome @ewkaw 😊

It so shows… 😁 you should do more.

Wait, you didnt even think to enter your chosen topic? But ...? Ok, all good now :))

You PAINTED!! And that's the most important. Even the Amanita got drunk, as it wanted to celebrate the creation of themselves hahaha. he was happy, as the other ones too.

And just so you know which Matisse painting I was thinking of, this one 👇. Almost the same right?

No, not the same. Your one is nicer 😊

Ermmm... no... 🙈
I fixed it though!

Amanitas are always drunk... which explains why they have the red hats. Too much wine, but they wont listen.

No, not the same. Your one is nicer

Awww thank you! Good he cannot hear you 😄

I don't wanna even comment on that entering part. :P

Much love Amanita, hik! 🥂

good! 🙈

Haha the drunk amanita is fitting.

He is my favourite :D

The ultimate iconic mushroom the legend behind Christmas presents under the tree and Mario or Luigi growing larger in video games.

Aaaa love it. You definitely have great imagination 🙈 with what did you draw it.. On tablet or

Thanks!
My imagination is scary sometimes... good my hands are not able to follow it 😂

Very creative from drawing a good mushroom sketch, of course you have a lot of experience about this, to a unique story, I have never thought of something so interesting😀😀😀

Thank you!
I actually don't draw much. Just like to play with it sometimes :)

Looks like I'll have to try too

Extraordinary..!
when we can be inspired or obsessed with something and even then can put it in the form of art it is a complete thing.

Thank you!
I just make fun of them when drawing :D

It's party time, please give me 1 beer.. 😁😁

Beer on the house!

Almost the same! :)

Ha! I knew it :D

So much fun with this new topic! 🍻🥳🥰

You betcha! :D

That's for sure, I'll be sampling a new topic next week! 😎😎

Classing up the place with the Matisse references. I approve!

I gave Amanita that bottle of Żubrówka and have no regrets at all, I hold my alcohol much better but then again I weigh much more 😀

The step by step process you've shown is fabulous. I like seeing all the variations on the fungi theme posted by everyone in the community.

So that was youuuuu! And that was MY promised zubrowka!
And no.. he doesn't need much. One glass and poor thing starts to blush.

I love that !

You did such a good job.

Thank you!
I had fun doing it :)

I love it. Great creativity. Even the mushrooms are having fun with the glass of wine.

Everyone needs some fun sometimes :D

😄 Sooooo good!!!!
It makes sense that the most iconic mushroom would be the biggest partier. Typical rock star.

Thanks a lot! 😀

Typical rock star.

Damn yea! 🤘
He is big, red and not shy!

My kind of guy!

Nice, The Amanita is obviously my spirit mushroom.

I have a felling he is everyone's favourite :p
The party animal :D

haha Cute picture! Amanita certainly seems to be enjoying herself... But when you're a mushroom with a lively red cap, how could we expect anything less from her?

Nice drawing; love this digital art that looks like watercolor. Nice job!

Cheers!

Exactly that! Coolest one of them all :D

Thanks a lot :)

Thank you!
He is my fav too! Pity the bottle is empty :p
