STEP 1 Sketch the Basic Shapes
Sketch the outer shapes of the rocks, varying the sizes and shapes for interest.
Apply the same drawing principles and techniques that are used when drawing complex subjects to relatively simple subjects such as rocks. You can make the drawing more interesting by varying the shapes and sizes of the rocks.

STEP 2 Map Out the Lights and Darks
Add lines to map out the lights and darks on the rocks. In this case, the light comes from the upper right, so draw lines on the upper right areas of the rocks for the highlights and on the lower left areas for the darkest portions of the rocks.
STEP 3 Add Shading and Shadows
Use consistent up-and-down pencil strokes so that the surface of the rocks will look smooth. Make the pencil strokes darker on the left side of the rocks to create shading and depth.
