i liked this one a lot. Magpie Inkcap!
It’s been a while since I used my dip pen, I’m always afraid I’ll forget how to use it! I’m happy with how this turned out though. This is the Shaggy Ink-Cap, an edible mushroom native the UK (pick the baby ones if you want to eat them though). They sometimes dye your food black, and you can make ink out of them if you want to. We used to have a patch of these in our driveway but there were never enough to eat, which is a shame because they’re delicious.
I drew some shroomsonas for MayShroom! These are a shaggy inkcap and a bleeding tooth, both found in the UK. If I had to pick one I think I’m more of an inkcap, but the bleeding tooth is great fun to draw.
I wanted to do the whole challenge at first, but I didn’t have the energy. I feel bad because Sam Guay deliberately tried to make it easier by giving 4 weekly prompts instead of 31 mushrooms, but I actually found the prompts much harder than doodling up 31 quick botanical illustrations or a mushroom fairies or something. Oh well, next year!
