I start out most of the rock drawings with the general shape of a rectangular box and with that as a guideline, I start to create a more organic shaped rock. Just remember that rocks are 3 dimensional closed shapes. Adding in the 3d element to the drawing really helps to convey the shapes and forms of the rocks.

Start the rocks simple. Use simple guidelines to get started and work in the details after you have the general shape you like. Shading and adding detail is relatively easy especially if you have different grades of pencils. Use lighter pencils for the tops and gradually go darker as you reach the sides and have the undersides of the rocks relatively dark.

I hope you all enjoyed the video and ill see you all next week for the next one!
