A note from the artist:
I have always loved the unique look of our zendangle heart, but some readers have had a hard time creating this look.So I decided I wanted to come up with a design that was simple to recreate, but still had that wow factor.
I also wanted to stick with the rainbow and black heart combination.
For this rock I used Posca Paint Pens. I also used my Pigma Mircron PN tipped pen to do some of the fine lines.
Rainbow Spiral Rock Step 1:
Start your rock by drawing a heart. I placed mine in the center but you could offset it as well.
Rainbow Spiral Rock Step 2:
Then start creating a spiral out from it. Try to stay consistent with the distance from the original heart.
Rainbow Spiral Rock Step 3:
Continue until you are over the outer edges of your rock.
Then start to color in your heart.
I did this in a rainbow pattern starting with red in the center.
You can also try this design in other colors as well.
If you do decide to do a rainbow each time you get to red create a full lap around your rock to help your colors spread out properly.
Then start to color in your heart.

Rainbow Spiral Rock Step 4:
Next, start to add little triangles along your spiral.
This is where I used my Micron PN tipped pen in black. Slowly work your way around creating the triangles and then filling them in with black.
