This document provides instructions for rendering sunlit rocks and adding greenery in a landscape drawing. To make rocks appear sunlit, apply shading across surfaces but eliminate it in areas using a kneaded eraser to leave white spaces. Foliage provides an effective natural background contrasting with smooth rocks. Sketch bushes around rocks by blocking outlines and adding darker areas with a pencil to create depth and dimension.

1. Rendering Sunlit Rocks Use the same steps for the rocks on this page, but apply more shading to the entire surfaces. To make the rocks appear as though sunlight is shining on them, use a kneaded eraser to eliminate shading in the appropriate areas, or leave areas of the paper white . Adding Greenery Foliage provides an effective, natural background for rocks, because the foliage texture contrasts with the smoothness of the rocks. Block in the general outline for the bushes as you sketch the rocks. Push and pull your pencil in various directions, making some areas darker to create depth. Apply heavier shading to the areas of the rocks indenting into the surface.
