#lionsmane

So I know this is supposed to be a mushroom drawing, but I just started rendering the dress and I would not stop rendering the dress. It was just turning out really good and I was having a lot of fun doing it so... Also why did I decide to make it more difficult for myself by drawing an older lady with like 0 previous experience? No idea. Do I still like it, yes. It's probably not perfect but that's okay The general idea behind this weeks drawing was basically to do the opposite of week 1, because the themes are kinda opposite. So this time I went with very warm colors and lighting, smoother/less textured rendering and a very different looking character. The mushrooms I went with are lionsmane in the sort of cape-thing, lichen for the hair and crown and just some of ye ol' reliable generic-shelf fungi. The plan was to make them look more like splitgill mushrooms, but I didn't really end up rendering them with enough detail to make that clear lol.
