Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Pink base coat
Wash and dry your rock. Paint the entire rock in bright pink. Apply two coats for a vivid, even color. Let each coat dry completely.
-
Add the snout
Paint a large oval or circle in the lower center of the rock in a slightly darker pink - this is the pig's distinctive flat snout. Add two small ovals for nostrils inside.
-
Add ears
Paint two triangular or rounded ear shapes at the top of the rock in dark pink. They should point slightly outward.
-
Paint eyes and smile
Paint two small round black eyes with white highlight dots. Add a curved smile line below the snout. Keep the expression cheerful and friendly.
-
Finish and seal
Let everything dry fully. Add a small curly tail on the side for fun. Spray with clear sealant when completely dry.

Add RoxGeo Code
On the bottom or back of your rock, write ROXGEO.COM followed by a slash and your rock’s unique code (e.g. ROXGEO.COM/ABC123). This lets the finder go directly to your rock’s profile page and log their discovery. If the rock is too small for the full address, write #ROX followed by the code without spaces (e.g. #ROXABC123) — it’s short, easy to search on Google, and leads straight to your rock’s journey page. Use a fine-tip permanent marker or acrylic paint pen, and seal it with clear varnish so the code stays readable through rain, sun, and adventure.
Helpful Tips
- The big round snout is the pig's most recognizable feature - make it prominent.
- Round rocks are perfect for cute, chubby pig faces.
- Add a curly tail on the back of the rock for the full pig effect.
- Try painting a muddy brown splatter effect on the body for a fun 'mud puddle' pig.
