Mushroom house graphite study

One small mushroom house with a broad cap roof, short stem-like wall, arched door and one round window, no scenery. Practice form, overlap and selective shading in graphite.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Place the cap roof over the short wall cylinder.

2. Connect the structure

   Add the arched door and round window following the wall curve.

3. Develop the drawing

   Use selective interior marks and local shadow groups to explain the overlaps. Keep the lighter planes open rather than shading every surface.

A small thing to tryLet the roof overhang the wall evenly.
