# Hello my friends and fellow Steemians

yesterday evening I just couldn't stop myself from drawing and painting until 2 a.m.! 
I just let my hands flow, no final concept in my mind. Only music to inspire me and some pencils, markers, paint and 
 scissors.

That's how I like making art the most.

This is the final result - a psychedelic Mushroom Lady walking through a magical forest in a starry night! Do you like her?

## How she came to life

**I started by drawing her and the tree with a pencil and then took a marker to make the outlines more expressive and beautiful**

**Then I painted the tree and the Mushroom Lady and cut both out. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the step when I coloured the girl. I dripped several colours on her body and blew them until a psychedelic and colourful pattern was created. As I cut her out anyways it wasn't bad that the colour went over the lines.**

**For the background I took a tiny sponge, dipped it into blue, magenta and purple colour and created a universe looking like scenery.**

**Here you can see the finished elements before I put them together. I took some double-sided pretty thick tape to create kind of a 3D effect. I also added some stars with a white marker**
