Description
This is how I draw rocks and soil in both Corel Painter and traditional media (mostly oil, acrylic, watercolor or oil pastel). There are no special brushes, filters, tricks, etc specific to Painter. Though I've never used photoshop, I assume these techniques would work there too. They're not difficult and take little drawing skill--just a lot of tedious practice. This tutorial assumes you already know how to handle basic light and shadow on an object; if not, there are other tutorials on dA for that.You can see more of my references here [link] but this is the first tutorial I've made and I would appreciate some feedback--is it useful, does the format work for you, is there some information you feel is missing?
Some examples of how I've used these techniques for rocks and soil in digital paintings:

I feel the same way. They can be useful (for me, mostly as a reference) and you could argue that not taking advantage of the unique things you can do in digital media--like stock textures and special brushes--puts unnecessary limits on the medium, but I still like doing it my way. I like that I can draw whatever I want without having to search for the right texture, and that I can apply the same techniques when I'm working in traditional media. It also gives me the feeling that the work is wholly mine--I don't even like using google references if I don't have to and have amassed a massive collection of landscape and animal photos of my own. However, *LordVepar has a great tutorial about combining the best of both worlds [link] They've done a great job of making their ground look naturally painted.

Yeah, that's already in my favorites. Hopefully I can accomplish the same.
