Materials Needed

  • Smooth, round rock (palm-sized)
  • Pink acrylic paint
  • Dark pink or rose acrylic paint
  • Black acrylic paint
  • White acrylic paint
  • Medium flat brush
  • Fine detail brush
  • Clear sealant spray

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Add ears

    Paint two triangular or rounded ear shapes at the top of the rock in dark pink. They should point slightly outward.

  4. 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.

  5. Finish and seal

    Let everything dry fully. Add a small curly tail on the side for fun. Spray with clear sealant when completely dry.

  6. 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.
