Drawing tips – Below are methods I work with when I’m drawing on rock . I’m also not a huge fan of colouring in my whole rock as I love seeing bare rock. When I do I love using a watercolour type effect to give it a lovely wash look – I do this with my acrylic paints
Water wash finish
Take a small brush and along the edge of your image paint a line of water Before it dries draw some small light lines with your paint pen – this will make your pen bleed and give this awesome watercolour type look

Use a black colour pen and outline the image, I used Tooli-Art or Artistro 0.7m pens or Posca 1m
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.
