How to Draw a Mushroom House: Easy Step-by-Step Art Lesson for Kids
Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw a Mushroom House and Coloring Page. It’s perfect for some storybook drawing inspiration.
Mushroom Houses are small whimsical dwellings for fairies to live in. This one is based on the shape of a mushroom and borrows the idea of having a “cap” for a roof. The best thing about learning how to draw a fairy house, is that it can tap into all kinds of creative possibilities.
Aside from the fun elements though, this lesson could also teach a lesson about one of the Principles of Design. Proportion, which is shows the scale of something, can only be seen when there is something of reference that makes a shape look large or small. This house will look tiny when any flowers around it look as big as trees. There’s a hint of this going on in my sample drawing, but the notion could be pushed even further, by making the flowers even larger. Or smaller. Those choices are part of what makes drawing so much fun!
