Farm lesson 4: rocks
The farm has three small rocks of 6 by 4 pixels. Two are the same rock, the third one is flipped.
This sprite is wide. It's easier to draw on a computer, or with your phone turned sideways.
Step 1
This step also removes a few pixels. Use the eraser where the guide fades a pixel out.

You did it!
Done! This is the rocks exactly as it is in the farm.
Step by step
Step 1: Lines
Two small rounded shapes.
Step 2: Colors
The grey of the stone.
Step 3: Light
The lightest grey on top, toward the light.
Step 4: Outline colors
The dark grey around the bottom.
Step 5: Shadow
A small shadow under each rock.
Why it looks this way
The second rock is the first one flipped left to right, so the two never look like copies. After a flip, check that the light still reads right.
The colors
5 colors, dark to light. Pick them with the eyedropper in the trainer, or type the codes into your editor.
