- Step 3: Once my rock stones were dry and ready to paint I got out my posca paint pens.

🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Theme Grouping Tip: Paint several rocks around one mini-theme, like a haunted house set or a pumpkin patch, to create a small Halloween collection that looks more connected.
- Texture Base Layer: Use a dry brush to sweep random, uneven strokes across the rock before painting designs to give the surface extra subtle character.
- Glow Outline Trick: Outline key features like eyes, teeth, or hats with glow-in-the-dark paint to make small details pop without overwhelming the main design.
- Weathered Color Blend: Lightly sponge a second muted color over parts of the design to create a naturally aged, slightly spooky look without needing intricate patterns.
- Animated Face Variations: Paint expressive faces with different emotions — surprised, grinning, sleepy — across multiple rocks to create a livelier Halloween scene.
- Simple Scene Backgrounds: Add tiny accents like spider webs, stars, or mini gravestones behind characters to instantly create quick background stories for each rock.
