In this video tutorial, I show you how to make miniature rocks from pink foam. I show you how to carve a realistic rock texture directly into the foam using an X-Acto knife and your hands.
Once the rock is carved to the right shape, I show you how to paint with acrylic paints! First I start with a black basecoat. Make sure to get full coverage and fill any gaps with the paint because you do not want the pink color of the foam to show through in the final result.
After the black paint dries, I do several drybrush layers with different shades of grey paint. I start with the darker shade, and work my way up the lighter gray tones.
Once dry, I do a few washes with some watered down acrylic paints add some nice color and variation to the rock face.

Very nice. It's always a good thing seeing small bits this being used; xps comes cheapest in the biggest pieces (8ft by 4ft) and its always easy to have odd pieces left over from larger projects, this just goes to prove you shouldn't waste anything

This is brilliant!!! I think this is the easiest way to get rock faces that show the layers of strata I've ever seen. When I try this, I'm going to paint some of the random "layers" slightly different colors, so it looks like actual sediment layers. Big thanks for the idea!!!

QUESTION: Do you have any suggestions for keeping static-laced bits of Styrofoam from infiltrating every nook and cranny of my work space? Love your videos, btw.
@smolworldworkshop
@smolworldworkshop 10 месяцев назад
Thank you!! And unfortunately I have no secret trick for containing the mess, I just vacuum everything once I’m done!
@HowtoMakeThings
@HowtoMakeThings 10 месяцев назад
Styrofoam does get everywhere. I tend to do the messy part of cutting it over a big box and usually outdoors unless it’s windy. Don’t wear long sleeves because it will stick to your clothes. Any little bits that stick to your hands / arms can be dusted off. Sometimes having a lint roller nearby can assist.

I've found that spritzing your hands/arms and the work surface with a very fine spray of water helps a bunch, it seems to kill all the static electricity.

Can you use this idea on a larger scale, or would it lose the realism the larger you go?
@smolworldworkshop
@smolworldworkshop 10 месяцев назад
I think this technique would scale up nicely! The one thing I would change however would be to use a thicker piece of foam, and carve deeper into so that the depth scales up properly. Also just have a reference image on hand so you can double check your work!

Is there a way you'd be able to do all of this but have it all aquarium safe? Does anyone know if plaster of paris molds would survive underwater? More importantly would it harm the fish. Would really just like to start making fake stone walls and what not for my aquarium. It's way cheaper than paying 500 dollars few a rock slab :/

Hi there! Unfortunately, I have no idea how to make stuff that’s aquarium safe. I wish I did, but I don’t want to suggest something that I don’t know about. Hope you find a solution!
