@stringfellowart You're a tease! Now we HAVE to see those beautiful mushrooms, with their different patterns and colours

[stringfellowart]

Ugh... so many mushrooms to color, so little time

[stringfellowart]

Ready to lay down the details.

[Chip Valecek]

@stringfellowart its looking great. Thanks for sharing your process.

[lei]

It's coming along so nicely!

[stringfellowart]

I might actually get it finished! Yay!

[stringfellowart]

Mushroom details.

[Gary Wilkinson]

I love seeing this one come to life

[Kat]

I second that - this is great! Even if you don't make the contest deadline, I'd love to see you finish!

[IanS]

Lovely colours! Thanks for sharing your process.

[TessaW]

Love it! I also like seeing such a nice clean progression from start to finish.

[stringfellowart]

@tessaw Thanks! I feel like I've finally gotten my process down, as recommended by the SVS Gurus. I try to keep my steps the same every time, so that I stay consistent in my illustrations.

1. Concept/Thumbnails
2. Final Sketch
3. Lay down all my solid colors (on separate layers, so tedious)
4. Texture (I lock the layers and use my custom made brushes to add texture)
   
5. Lights and shadows
6. Details

[TessaW]

That's awesome. Love the organization of your layers! I haven't quite nailed down my process yet. Hopefully one day soon.
