I hope you all have a happy day, and moreover a happy Fungi Friday!!!
And if you want to continue with that happy feeling, well maybe better then not to watch the following video? Uhm... You know, I am not good at drawing...but our Supreme Judge for Fungi decided, this week's topic will be art! Drawing! Painting! Oh, What to do now? Enter or not the challenge?
Well, I tried to sell the idea to one another hive user too, so I can not ask others to do something I would not do! But, I can show that even me, who never ever learned to articulate the visual ideas from the mind through a painting, can bring at least a pencil drawing! Maybe that can inspire others who are better in this activity to try themselves?
My mushroom was born just now, a moment before I edited the video, and started to write this post. All in real-time done, documented with a video recording, that you can see by pressing the play button of the video. It was made in time-lapse mode, so the result is one and a half minutes of footage, but the process of drawing took 50 minutes.
Please don't laugh too much. Or? Should I say, if you had fun and laughed at this process then it was a successful activity? Why not bring some smiles and laughter to people? So, this is the second reason why this post will be published.
The third reason, and that one has the same importance as the previous two ones, is that the Fungi Friday community is a place of a lot of fun. And I don't want to miss the opportunity to post on today here :) Every Friday, people from all over the world gather here and bring their amazing photos. Those that can not count with quality photos, bring some stories, and the funniest the best. Or food recipes... or mushroom music... or anything you consider, but what is connected to the topic of mushrooms.
There are no hard rules, but yes, some important guidelines. Like including in your post the tag #FungiFriday and that it is your contribution to the event (challenge) held by @ewkaw. The post has to be published on Friday, of course. Why would be called FungiFriday otherwise? Oh, and post into this community, Fungi Friday. The cool thing is that there is always some nice interaction between the members! And how important is that for a community!
So, these were my three reasons to enter today with this drawing video and photos... one: to inspire, two: to bring laughter, three: to have fun with others who will bring their art. Now, let's see what I have done. :)
Ok, not so many things to be explained. Found a block of paper for drawing. attached it to another cardboard to hold it, not to touch too much with my fingers the paper where the mushroom will be presented. Installed my phone to DJI Osmo mobile gimbal, and set the time-lapse mode for the video. And started the journey.
It was all invented and brought in those 50 minutes. I did try before, earlier this morning to sketch something, but not with all the details. At least I knew it will be one mushroom, something like this. First I made the contours:
And started to add the detail on the hat of the mushroom. Btw, it still doesn't have a name. Maybe you can help me to find out how to name it?
After the decoration on the cap, I added the gills. Later I was improving the details of all of them.
The stalk received some cool dress, at least I liked it. And more details to bring the character of this elegant but not so usually mushroom. For sure, I know that it is SHE, so the name should be a female one.
This is maybe the part I liked the most while drawing it:
The last part that was born was the bottom of it. There were some lines I enjoyed but somehow I suffered with the small decoration. I don't know why I started to draw them in that way. Maybe had to be half-circle ones instead of triangle-like shapes. Anyway, it turned out to be like this:
Hope your neck is not hurting trying to watch the video and this photo, hahha, as it is recorded by my left side, not to cover the paper with my right hand.
Capture from the video:
The process of recording. Well, in the moments I finished the mushroom and signed it with #FungiFriday tag and my username :))
Final result :)) So, do you have an idea, what should be the name of this Mushroom Lady? Any help with naming her? If not, it's ok too. But I do hope you enjoyed this post, not my "skills" as clearly, I dont have them, but at least I tried :) oh, and not to forget to give credits to music, I used a royalty-free one:

I liked your drawing!
And I also liked the stand for the phone for recording :-)
The stand is a really good thing. actually, it is a video stabilizer, when you are in the move, to record without a lot of shaking. But it also has a time-lapse mode, among other features, so I like to use it :)
Thanks!
Excellent thing!
You are welcome :)
Maybe even can be recorded a flower that is opening, but it would take so much time :)
This is my dream! :-)
well, maybe you can have one of these gadgets and try it.
You have plenty of flowers you could try this option :)
It is expensive?
Pfffffffffffffffffffft can't draw you say? I beg to differ. I love it.
I deem this pretty lady, Marla the Mushroom.
I find these time-lapse drawings fascinating. I appreciate you telling us how long it actually took, this isn't a quick endeavor even though it may appear so. Almost like a magic trick, great job!
Yes, I still say I can not draw (well) but you know, that small image that came from you the day before Fungi Friday helped :)
Marla the Mushroom 😎 Accepted! Thank you! So, Marla was born yesterday morning, and now she will celebrate almost one day of living :) 🎇
I like time-lapse too. The only thing is when I decide to record something in nature in that option, it takes a lot of time... if I set that it goes even faster. Like for the clouds, it is better to set to record for one hour or more, and you get 30 seconds of footage. But that is cool. Should encourage me to do one soon, like boats in the bay or clouds indeed. Imagine, to record how a mushroom grows... or a flower blooms :))
I've never tried before, I'll need to look into how all this time-lapse is done.
I think I'll be writing about Francine the fungi next week. She's getting out on good behavior and I feel like switching it up a little bit 😀
Ow, ow, Francine!!! It would be time to have some update on the situation, so yes, looking forward to reading the next episode of the #FreeFrancine project story :)))
You entered @mipiano 😁 yeah!!! I did too, even though I had not much time 😇
I think it’s a great drawing. It shows So much Fun. I like the artistic freedom you used and added fun decoration to this mushroom. Goal succeeded.
And you made a whole video out of it, the music compliments the fun element. 🎶🎵🎶 I like it.
I think I need to get a hold stand thingy to document my future artworks like this make a video and not just photographs.
Beautiful work. 😊
I saw a few more entered already art works… will be fun to watch today 🤓
Yesss!!!!
Will have a look next week in some shops 😇
Would be a great addition.
Thanks @ewkaw 😉
Yes, I entered :) It was a surprise to me too :)
It was challenging to press that publish button, but I had fun drawing it. You see how fast I was, haha?
Stand: I have a tripod too, both for the camera and this gimbal also can be attached to the same tripod, but it didn't fit well this video as I wanted to be this close to the paper, with the tripod it was a bit more away. So I just used the gimbal, as a stand and for the time-lapse option.
Yes, I agree too, it is a good investment, especially if you will give it a good use :)
I will just now go to see what everyone posted :)
It’s nice to see @mipiano 😊
I don’t have a DSLR camera anymore as it died during our last holiday to Cuba.
So I think I will have a look for a stand that can hold my phone. Thanks for the info on your setup. 😎
I saw lots of posts today, great art entries. 🎨
Yes, I remember when you told me that :(
How unfortunate...
I will replace it, but so many other things are happening now / soon as in next months 😉 that come first. One of them is next month 👰🏻♀️🤵🏻♂️🥰 just under 3 weeks now… time goes so fast lately, so much to do and organise.
Wait, wait, wait, are you giving me some hints????
Will be there be a guessing game?
Yes 😁, they are hints @mipiano… if you look at the emoji’s you know 😉 I think 🤔 hahaha
No guessing game… I do think I will post something after the big event. Not sure yet. 😇😋
You did it! (damn.. I guess I will have to come up with something after all 😬)
I can see the sharp pencils were just waiting for it! I like how each section has a different pattern. A truly psychedelics mushrooms 😃
Supreme judge 😂
Yes, Mrs Supreme Judge :D
I did it hahaha! You maybe too?
The pencils were hidden and were afraid to come out. But I chased them down this morning, they made some troubles here in my paper, you see?
My son said the same when I showed him the video 🤣
Well well mushroom lady nice going there! I do get it why people enjoy drawing and painting so much. The process like this looks cool and relaxing as well when I look at this. And in 50 mins...not a bad score at all!
Never be embarrassed on what you made, it is about the process!
I am not embarrassed anymore, but still not satisfied 100%.
With the process - yes.
The result for this time, yes as well.
Are there many things to improve - yes :)
But it was fun and tried to be a trigger... if I can do this others with better skills and practise can do it as well!
And finally, she got a name. Marla the Mushroom 😇 as @buffalobison suggested the name :)
What!! You can play the piano, and you can draw as well? Any other hidden talent?
Believe me, I didnt know either 😂
Well, I can draw some easy things, and I make interactive home-made games for our little students from the school, but drawing a mushroom was not something I believed I could do. Until this morning :) What I have to admit, I am a bit proud of it too, but I see how many details would have to be improved :)
And now you all expect me to show mine after this, what?
I will, if you keep eyes closed. 👀
Hahaha, I will open my eyes :D
I saw you posted, but going now to check the other entries, and your one too :)))
Oh, don't go there if you don't have to :D
I WILL 😂
soon :D
Often times people that say they can't do it turn to do it best when they try, @mipiano you just proved that to me🙏🙌🙌💞
Magic fingers for the piano and pen🥰🥰
yes, I agree, if we don't try we don't even know can we or not. Not trying is always a no, already at the start.
Haha, magic fingers :) I was called like this, but I think you are the first on hive that called me magic fingers, if I am not mistaken. Thanks 😇
I didn't know that, you are good at drawing too.
Multi talent ! 👍😲💥💫🎉✨😎🤗👏👏🔥👌💯
Haha, I didn't know that either. But thank you @galih.amenk 😇
You are welcome 😁
😇
It's good. now its need some Color.
Maybe :) But wanted to do just this pencil drawing this time :)
wow very cool my friend, you have a very great talent, your work is amazing 🥰
Thank you, about that talent thing I am not sure, it should be practised a bit to see if it is true or not :)
But I am happy with this result as it was fun to create it!
These mushrooms grow right away with your ink! :)
🍄
Yes, it grew somehow, out from that white paper :)
It's fun, it grows if you water it. 😂
hahhaha, should I try to spill a glass of water now on the drawing? 🤣
The beauty of this drawing is not in perfection but in attention to detail.
You may not be much of an artist (that draws) but you sure gave this a good shot and it is commendable.
P.S: In my honest opinion, your drawing came out really nicely and I really like it.
I might just use it as my wallpaper for a bit 😊😊😊 @mipiano
Use it as your wallpaper? That would be a real honour for Marla The Mushroom (she got a name :) )
Thank you for your nice words. I think also, that the patterns and details make this drawing interesting.
I usually draw random but very basic looking flowers, suns, patterns, lines while for example having a long phone call hahha. Even it doesn't have to be a long call, but I have to do "something" while listening or talking 😂
Although, those can not be called drawings :D
Indeed and a beautiful one at that!
What do you call them then?😊😊😊
maybe scribbles 😁
Marla The Mushroom is happy in her new life and sending some greeting for a great week start 😎
Sending tons of love to Marla The Mushroom...
And a Happy Valentine's Day Mi ♥️♥️♥️
Mi is wishing you a happy Valentine's Day too :))
Such a fun post! Watching you draw this cute little mushroom was fun. And you did such a great job!
Love this #fridayfungi thread! These interesting little experiments sure do bring out the creative side in everyone!
Thanks for sharing this post and for contributing to this fun thread.
Cheers!
It was fun for me too :)) I enjoyed the process of how she was born and brought here.
Yes, FungiFriday is a great opportunity to practice our imagination. I always have to come up with something as I dont have so many mushrooms around and I can not take professional photos either.
I see that you like these entries. Will we see your participation too next week? :)
I love this and I like your set up with your phone for capturing it. i've only just got a new tripod for my camera so I can do more down facing videos, now to get the time to film them :) Love it @mipiano
Oh, cool. Hope you will enjoy the use of your new tripod as many times as you can. I know how time can be tricky, same here...

Con questa ulteriore e inedita performance, possiamo definirti un'artista multimediale?
Bravissima, Gabriella! 👏👏👏
you are alive??? hahaha
seriously, where have you been? I know, I know, you had a pause from this place :)
good to see you back 😎
No, I didn't trick anyone. You believe me or not? Didn't we have trust already hahahh?
and I saw some mushroom painting from you too, will be checked very soon :))
I also thought I can not do that... maybe still I can not :)))
This was for fun :)
the feedback came, but I am responding to the messages just now haha.
Oh, you forgot the topic, art? I was not sure all these days what to do, how to draw, but this morning I just did it, haha. Not sure about the talent, well every talent has to be developed by practising too, but I really don't draw or paint. Seems that just sometimes it comes , when Fungi Friday calls :))
