Drawing the Cutest Mushroom House Ever: A Cottagecore Retreat!

Every strong home starts with a foundation! Lightly sketch two slightly uneven, vertical ovals for the main mushroom stems. Make one a little taller than the other—this adds personality and makes the house feel organic and lived-in. Draw a gentle horizontal line connecting them at the bottom; this will be your ground line.

Now for the fun part: the roofs! Draw two large, soft dome shapes (like half-circles) sitting perfectly on top of your stems. These are your mushroom caps. Don't worry about perfection; natural curves are best. Next, sketch a friendly, round hobbit-style door near the base of the larger stem.

Let's bring this house to life with little touches! Add arched or round windows to the stems. Draw cross-panes inside the windows so the light can shine through. Give your house a cute, curving chimney jutting out of the roof. Finally, sketch some basic grass tufts around the base and a curving path leading up to the door.

It’s time to commit! Using your fine-tip marker, carefully trace all your final pencil lines. Remember to erase all those light sketch lines (the guidelines from Steps 1 and 2) before you start inking. Once the ink is dry, erase any remaining pencil marks to reveal your clean, beautiful line art, ready for color!

This is the moment we’ve been waiting for! Use warm, earthy tones to make your mushroom home inviting. I recommend classic deep reds or soft browns for the caps, earthy greens for the stems and grass, and warm yellows for the light shining through the windows. The magic of drawing is in the color—apply your crayons or markers boldly!
