The only cute place for a mouse is on a rock …. I am sure you will agree.
I remember my very first experience of living away from home and a mouse visited me. I grabbed my newborn baby and we sat on the dining room table all day until my partner got home from work. I will stick to cute mice on rocks than in real life that’s for sure.

DRAW ON YOUR ROCKS
PAINT COLOUR ON YOUR ROCK
Draw the Mouse image onto your rock, there are many ways to do this but I would like to share my method with you.
I first draw my image on to the rock using a HB mechanical Pencil, When I am happy I go over the image with a Black Fineline acrylic paint pen.
If you would like to follow this method exactly here is the tutorial LINK that shows you how, such a simple step to help get your image on to the rock.
Check your outline is touch dry … this is important as you do not want your pens / paint to bleed.
Colour in the image using your acrylic paint or acrylic paint pens. Start with one thin layer and let it dry. Add another layer for coverage if it is needed.
#TIP you will always get an even finish building up the layers. This is for Acrylic Paint or Acrylic Paint Pens
Grab your black fineliner Paint Pen (available here) and draw in all the outlines on your image.
Now is the tine to draw in the face details as well, nice big eyes and whiskers. Wait for the colours to dry, then draw in the lines then there is less chance of your pen bleeding.
Let the previous paint lines dry, now add in some highlights and decorations.
With the white, add some highlights to your Mouse to create little areas of light that have landed on your Mouse. This is done with some smaller shapes, dots and dashes
