How To Color - Cobble Stone

 

In addition to plaid and striped patterns for wall decoration, have you ever tried adding a cobblestone look to your coloring? This pattern gives a cozy, modern vibe rather than a cute one. Ready to give it a try? Let’s learn how to create this cobblestone wall pattern together! We’ll guide you through each step in detail. Grab any Southern Lotus coloring book and follow along. 🎨🖌️🪨

 

Today, we’re using a page from the "Very Demure Very Spooky" Coloring Book by Southern Lotus, available on Amazon and our website.

Medium Used: Ohuhu alcohol markers

 

 

A neutral grayish tone like CG020 is perfect for a cobblestone wall background, blending beautifully with natural gray-blue, brown, and gray shades. Use CG020 (or a similar color) to fill the entire wall. Apply the color evenly to create a smooth foundation.
The Southern Lotus coloring pages are designed to blend well, so you can trust that your colors will flow seamlessly.

 

 

 

Now, for the main cobblestone pattern! As mentioned, natural stones feature gray-blue, brown, and gray hues, so we suggest using BG050, CG050, WG3, and CGII04 to sketch random stone shapes. These stones don’t have to be round—get creative with their shapes and alternate colors to avoid a repetitive look.

 

 

 

To add depth, outline each stone with the same colors you used in Step 2. Remember, the light source is above, casting shadows down, so place these outlines at the base of each stone.
This is the third color layer, which you may think risks damaging the paper, but don’t worry—the Southern Lotus coloring book can handle multiple layers that still come out very beautiful.

 

 

 

If there is a shadow, there must be a highlight! Grab your white acrylic pen and add a little sparkle to your wall. Outline and dot along the tops of the stones—this is where the light hits, so it’s naturally brighter and goes on the opposite side of the shadows.

 

 

As a final touch, use CG050 to add random dots between the stones for added texture and realism. There’s no specific rule—just place the dots as you see fit!

 

 

And there you have it—our cobblestone wall is complete!

Now, finish the other details, and it’s ready to display or share. Southern Lotus coloring books are designed with colorists in mind, so every page is worthy of showing off!
