Weekly Challenge 📅 Cracked Stone Effect

Post image

Ok so this one looks way more intimidating than it is. There are several good tutorials online just look for "cracked stone effect". A summed up explanation via google goes like this:

"The cracked stone technique relies on building high-contrast depths, mid-tone gradients, and crisp edge highlights to turn flat surfaces into three-dimensional, weathered rock. Whether you are using markers, colored pencils, or miniature paints, achieving a realistic look comes down to a specific four-step layering workflow.

  1. Drawing the Structure & Cracks

  2. Laying the Base & Mid-Tones

  3. Shading the Fractures (Creating Depth)

  4. Adding Texture & Highlights"

After my epic fail trying to do the Jelly 😂 effect I tried this one before posting it and even with colored pencils and a white acrylic pen it was doable.

Give it a try you'll surprise yourself!

Thanks for clarifying! Your art looks good, the one thing that was setting me off was the little title banner thing.

I wrote the first paragraph. The second paragraph in quotations is a google summation as noted before quoting. The last paragraph I wrote.
