Argentinian Mushrooms and Colored Pencils

I do pay attention in class. Sometimes. Teachers just don't believe that students know how to multitask! I can be drawing in my notebooks and paying attention and taking good notes at the same time!!! Gosh. Anyways, here are my doodles, raw, unedited, usually black-and-white because I don't carry colored pencils around in my pencil case. So... if you're interested... here goes nothing.

Doodle 1: Argentinian Mushroom

A small drawing drawn during Social Studies class, on the back of a "How is Islam a Way of Life?" worksheet. In Spanish class, we have an inside joke about mushrooms, or, as we call it, champiñónes. Also, my teacher is Argentinian, which explains the flag.My friends Apoorva, Susanna, and I, known as the Champinamigas (mushroom friends) each created mushrooms. My mushroom is Bobe, a guy mushroom (no duh) with a top hat (we never knew what to call it, so we just said "encima sombrero" which is a literal translation). And this is, of course, in black and white, due to the lack of colored pencils in class. And, colored pencils make it way too obvious that you're drawing.

 Doodle tip 1: Don't use colored pencils, it makes it really obvious that you're drawing.
