"That’s right—time to embrace the weird, wonderful world of mushrooms, molds, spores, and all the other squishy, shadow-dwelling lifeforms that pop up when you least expect them. Whether you’re sketching a fairytale toadstool, a moody shelf fungus, or just a mushroom with a great personality, this is your sign to let loose and get a little spore-tastic.
Inktober is all about returning to the roots—ink, paper, and the kind of quiet focus that doesn’t come with an undo button. So put the tablet down, shake out your pens, and get weird with it. Try some hatching, cross-hatching, maybe even… stippling (we see you overachievers). There’s something deeply satisfying about coaxing a whole little ecosystem out of black ink and white space.
Let your lines meander like roots underground, or stand bold like a lone chanterelle in a sea of leaf litter. Just don’t be afraid to lean into the strange—fungi are nature’s original oddballs, after all. Go forth, draw boldly, and remember: if someone says your art looks like mold, you’re probably on the right track."
