How to Draw a Narwhal on a Rock
Narwhals are the unicorns of the sea!
Painting narwhals on rocks is the perfect way to combine your love of both unicorns and mermaids. I love this adorable rock painting idea featuring a chubby narwhal (maybe he ate too many bagels?).
This painted rock project is perfect for beginners.
Wendy from Draw So Cute does a great job walking you through how to paint the perfect narwhal / unicorn whale. Of course, Wendy is drawing on paper so for best results, choose a flat, smooth rock to paint on.
I like to paint directly on my rocks with the Posca paint pens but if you're not feeling confident, it's ok to use a pencil and then trace back over your drawing later with the paint pen.

Notes: For best results, use a light colored rock with a flat surface for painting.
To paint my chubby unicorn whale, I followed along using an extra fine black Posca pen to do the outline. I filled in the other spots with blue, pink and white.
Keep in mind that even if you are painting on a white rock, adding sealer might change the shade of the rock so it's always a good idea to paint any spots you want to have stay white with white paint.

As always, once the paint pens are dry, give it a coat or two of spray sealer to protect it from the weather and get it ready to hide outside.
Here's My Narwhal Painted Rock

I love how each of the artists of these rocks seem to have followed the same video tutorial but ended up with narwhal rocks that all look different from each other.
