Description
The shroom, the shroom, the shroom is on fire. We dont need no water.
Yes the shroom is on fire both metaphorically from a dancing perspective, and literally from a "head on fire" perspective. But he don't care because he's partying with colours. This is my 11th hour entry into the Psychedelic Treasure club Contest! I basically spent every day of last week on it, man my hand is dead. As always coloured pencil that looks smooth and rich in real life becomes discoloured and grainy. Ah well, there's a mushroom on fire!
Hope you like! and wish me luck

Back is the colour, and in it's full glory it seems!
That lil' shroom is really adorable. The shapes in the background compliment it's shape and balance out the browns and whites that feature in the main character. The black and white dots in the background are also an interesting touch, hinting at a bleak world behind the mass of colour and smiles. Lovin' it!
