This is so easy to create with a few steps . Please read the full post as I share with you Most people give up at the drawing . Unfortunately I do not have the time in a day to break tutorials down each day in to a drawing class . BUT here is some direction for you –
? My earlier tutorials offer some drawing steps and they are in Techniques you just need to look for them
? As I got busier the first thing I did was create tutorials on how to create each step so everyone could learn from those snd apply them to the current tutorial they see.
In Techniques I have how to tutorials of a simple subject to learn HOW to do the technique . Then you need to practise and apply the technique to each tutorial. I also created a full online course – I cannot recommend it enough .
? For drawing help …. If you can’t draw you can’t draw ??‍♀️You can decide you want to learn and you need to not think you pick up a rock and draw – what actually happens is you have a book and you practise practise practise – with engaging muscle memory the skill will come . Would you like some simple tips on how to get there?
? I thought you would … you can try an app called grid# it places grids over photos. Then you can trace your rock outline in your book , copy a grid on top then practise your image . You can also draw the grid straight on to your rock. There are HEAPS of tutorials on grid drawing I have shared in the group previously . You can group search them . My online course also teaches the method .
? You can use graphite paper and transfer your image on to your rock. I have shared this method HEAPS of times as well. Group search Graphite paper or transfer method . It is also a method covered in my online course.
? Using methods like grid or graphite is not cheating it is a method that helps get the job done AND using methods like these are the start of developing your drawing skill .
? Every day I’m not just giving you 4-5 photos and expecting you to get on with it. I am sharing an idea each day and I have valuable learning resources backing you up so you achieve the tutorials as well

Use a black colour pen and outline  the image, Great pens for outlines are Posca 1m, !mr or the 0.7m size in Tooli-Art or Artistro.

And if you want to add a touch of highlight –  pop on a few dots and dashes of white paint .

Colour on your rock – I have just painted a nice even layer. You do not want to paint it to thick. The more layers on the rock the more chance it has of peeling off later as the water in the base evaporates. Click on the image below to find out how best to paint on rocks!

Shading makes all the difference to the end result. Adds depth to the Image.
I use clean water and a size 2 or 4 filbert taklon paintbrush click on the below image to learn the technique – or head to YouTube to watch how I do the shading.
