Painting realistic looking rock...

[andy__artist]

Does anyone have a tutorial for painting realistic looking rock.
Also...
There are some excellent rocks on 'The Pillars of Creation' by Terry Goodkind, who is the artist?

Cheers if anyone can help.

While I am not familiar with the art you mention, the important points to remember are that rocks, like any object you paint have lights, mid-tones & shadows. Get that right first, then concentrate on texture, sediment, crevices & other surface details.
