Painting stone?

[Token]

Need help painting stone, anyone can give a tutorial?

i prime them black and just drybrush them with various grey colours

you can also do it with brown and bleached bone and similar colours for sandstone or something

Generally what works well is a dark brown base, then several very light drybrushes to build the highlights up gradually rather than just a couple of stages. The more stages, the more realistic it'll look. Bring the very edges up to almost white (through brown / yellow / grey depending on your type of stone). A few tiny spot glazes with green and yellow to represent lichen / algae if you're bothered.

Thanks for the answers, but im trying to make a flat surface to look like stone. Would the same techinques work there?

I dont know if you think this is good enough, but I use Dheneb stone with a wash of badab black, and if you let it pool correctly, it gives a great and simple effect, sorry about picture quality and my painting skills( or lack thereof)

On a very flat surface you can stipple to add a bit of texture. Use an old detail brush that's starting to splay, just like you would for drybrushing, but have a little bit more paint on the brush and gently stab it. Sometimes I cut the tip off (so it's like a hairy cylinder with a flat top) for this.

I'm enjoying Dheneb Stone, washed with Badab Black, dry-brushed with Stone again, and then highlighted with white, or dheneb/white 50/50.

 

I sometimes use a heavy, very-dry brush, leaving stippling/texture all over, for larger areas.

 

Guyver3x's stuff looks good.

Yeah, that stone is good. Thanks for the answers.
