Description
For the longest time, many people have been requesting for tutorial on how to paint/speed-paint rocks...Well, this tutorial shows some of the ways I do it.
There are other methods I use but this tutorial shows the best examples to understanding the concept and not just the technique (well, i hope it does).
I hope it helps!
what software is that?
I did this in Photoshop cs2, but anyone can follow these steps using any painting/drawing software. I also just used a default brush here.
Why no textures? Rocks are often rough, right?
What is most important is to depict the form of the rock. To make it look realistic or believable, the rock should have body, and fit into it's environment. The textures are just secondary.
like my facebook page here i sometimes update it with random artworks not found here on da!

whoa OwO I've been dabbling for seven years in drawing rocks, and now I'm finally starting to learn how to do it XD I particularly like the way you draw those big fat outlines and draw on top of the outlines oWo I think I might try that with other things as well, like people, and animals and trees and Logitech-audio-systems >W<

Rocks are amazingly the most fun thing to paint. Possibly because there is anbsolutely no fiddle involved. It's a rock hard surface of light and shadow.
I love rocks!
Now; a BUNCH of rocks. Like a mountain or a cave is a whole other thing because suddenly that no fiddle becomes extremely fiddly since you have to have in mind all the angles and light sources.
But ROCKS, omg!

I love your explanations of the rock that turns out being near/in the lava. Especially that "take care of your skin <3".
But this is excellent! Thanks for putting this up, it'll really help.

Thanks so much for this! Rocks present one of the largest problems for me, seeing as they are so ambiguous! They don't have an exact right way or wrong way the same as anatomy on people does, and yet they can still look very wrong. Landscapes in general are like this for me, but it's easier to avoid drawing landscapes...
