Do You How to Make Painted Rocks With Posca Pens?
Posca pens are fantastic tools to use for painting rock stones. You can paint using a pencil or you can paint directly onto the stone using a paint pen. Posca pens comes in different sizes. I like to use a small pen for fine detail and larger posca paint pens for colouring in and filling in big spaces.
🎨 Supplies Needed
- Assorted Colored Posca Pens/Markers
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Sharpener
🖌️ How To Paint Pepper Pig
- Step 1: To start you will need to draw the outline of Peppa pig onto your Rock stone using a pencil.
- Step 2: Using the pink posca paint pen, colour in your peppa pig face.
- Step 3: Use a red posca pen to colour Peppa's body and fill in.
- Step 4: Once your main colours are filled in you are ready to begin outlining Peppa pig.
- Step 5: Be sure to use a thin black posca for detailing as this looks much better than a thick pen.

How to Seal Painted Rocks
Now your rock stone is complete you will want to seal it to protect it and help it last longer. You could seal with Modge Podge and you might even like to make a whole collection of all the Peppa Pig Characters. This would be fun. Enjoy.
💡 Pro Tip: Always place the rock on a slight tilt when painting small details like eyes—this angle helps reduce hand strain and keeps your lines more consistent.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Surface Prep: Lightly sand the rock before priming to remove rough patches—this gives you a smoother base and prevents skips while outlining character curves.
- Shape Matching: Choose rocks with a slightly rounded oval shape to better match Peppa’s head proportions and avoid warping her facial structure when painted.
- Outline Guide: Use a pale pencil or chalk to sketch major face features first—it’s easier to erase and adjust than paint, especially for small cartoon characters.
- Dry Time Spacing: Wait for each facial element to dry fully before adding the next—this prevents accidental smudging of the cheeks, nose, or eyes.
- Flat Backgrounds: Fill in the background color last, working slowly around the character edges to create a clean outline and reduce uneven paint lines.
- Gloss Limiting: Use a satin rather than high-gloss sealant for better photo results and less reflection when viewing the painted rock under light.
