FungiFriday - One proud face

Third time in a row I am posting a drawing of a mushroom instead of a photograph for #fungifriday. It seems more fun now. And until I have some ideas I will be posting those. Anyone cares to join me in the shroom drawing? :)

This image was cooking in my head for a while. I drew a girl a while ago, when I was still testing the brushes and experimenting with styles. It was just the top part, but I liked it so much that I saved it hoping that one day I will now how to finish the drawing. I like how proud and cheeky face she has.... And somehow made me smile every time I looked at it.
And so today was the day to add the rest to cute face.


I opened it back in the SketchBook and added the rest of body and of course the source of the proud face - a giant mushrooms she found in the woods! It is Fungi Friday after all :)

Then added some colours and a bucket of shrooms she already picked.

A bit of background and grasses...

And some extra trees too. And we are basically done :)
I think it came out pretty nice, though I still just the top part of the girl the most.

A quick gif with some extra frames.
I noticed that Photoshop messes with the colours when I save the gif and they don't look very smooth. Any idea how to fix it? I am following this tutorial and do all it says.

I hope many of you will join as there are only 2 simple rules:

• when Friday comes post your own, original photo/drawing/art/food/anything-at-all of any type of fungi (yes, I will check and report stolen images!)
• add #FungiFriday tag (it doesn't have to be your first tag)
  That's all :)
