How to draw a rock

Welcome to DoofyDoodles, the ultimate destination for those who love to doodle, yet feel daunted by the intricate art world. Today, we're kicking off with a real cornerstone of the doodleverse - we're teaching you how to draw a rock!

Why a rock, you ask? Well, even the most majestic mountain starts with a humble rock. And let's not forget, rocks are the unsung heroes of landscapes and pet rocks alike! Drawing rocks is a great way to start your doodling journey as they are forgiving in their form. They come in all shapes and sizes, and each one is unique - just like our doodles.

So, grab your drawing tool of choice, and let's get started. Remember, the goal isn't to create a geological masterpiece but to unleash your creativity and have fun. Because here at DoofyDoodles, we believe that every doodle rocks!

Step 1

Draw an uneven squiggle in a somewhat rounded shape. Rocks come in all sizes so don’t worry if you don’t have a wiggly line!

Step 2

Add a couple of random lines. This will serve as texture for the rock.

Step 3

Give your rock a face and some arms so he can chat and wave while he’s stuck sitting for the rest of his life.

Step 4

Add some color and some shading. The shading will reinforce the fact that this rock is indeed a rock.

And that’s it! You’ve now successfully drawn a rock.

Now, let's dive into some ridiculous rock facts that you've been taking for granite all your life.

Solid as a rock: This may surprise you, but rocks are generally solid! The solid nature of rocks has been an essential factor in their widespread use throughout human history. They've been used in everything from tools to buildings, proving that it's not just their good looks we're after.

Rocks are old: And when we say old, we mean really, really old. Some rocks on Earth are older than your great-great-great-great-great-grandma. In fact, they're older than all the grandmas combined. The oldest rocks on Earth are estimated to be over 4 billion years old!

Rocks are everywhere: Yes, it's true. Rocks are found everywhere. In your garden, in the park, on the mountaintops, and even on the Moon. You could say that they're the ultimate globetrotters.

Rocks change: Just like people, rocks can change over time. It's called the rock cycle. Rocks can be broken down by weather and heat, compacted into sediment, or even melted into magma. It's quite the dramatic life for something that doesn't move on its own.

Rocks have layers: Much like a delicious lasagna, many rocks have layers. These layers can tell scientists a lot about what was happening on Earth when the layers were formed. It's like the rock is keeping a diary of Earth's history.
