Only my favorite mushroom magazine! Lighthearted watercolor illustrations to support an end-of-mag quiz.

First, I sketched compositions in ink. With ink, I don’t over-focus on correctness or small details but instead the overall shape and spirit of the drawing. Then, I scanned the ink drawings and manipulated the colors to see the shapes in new ways.

With these compositions in mind and Roger Phillips’ compendium of mushroom photographs to hand, I drew. Though asked to make six illustrations, I intuitively created over a dozen compositions to have many to choose from.
