How to Color a Rock Path

Creating a realistic rock path adds depth and texture to your coloring pages! Today, we’ll be working on a page from the "Fuzzy In Love" coloring book, illustrated by Southern Lotus Coloring Book.

This step-by-step guide will show you how to shade and blend rocks using Ohuhu Markers, making your path look natural and three-dimensional.

Materials You’ll Need:

- "Fuzzy In Love" Coloring Book by Southern Lotus Coloring Book

- Ohuhu Markers (BR2, WG050, GG5, E170)

- Colorless Blender

- Black 120 Fine-Tip Pen (for gaps)

- White Gel Pen (for highlights)

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Drawing Different Shaped Rocks

Using BR2, WG050, GG5, and E170, outline and fill in different rock shapes. Tip: Use curved strokes to mimic natural textures.

Step 2: Blending for a Natural Look

Take your colorless blender and lightly blend each rock. This step helps soften edges and makes the rocks look more natural. Avoid over-blending to keep some texture and contrast.

Step 3: Defining the Rock Path

Using a black 120 fine-tip pen, carefully fill in the gaps between rocks. This creates depth and makes each rock stand out.
