Instructions
First make sure you wash and dry your rocks. They need to be completely dry before you paint them, but a hair dryer or a fan can help this along.
Paint the rocks with white acrylic craft paint. I don't bother painting the bottoms.
When the paint is completely dry, use a black paint pen to draw two large ovals for the eyes. Color the eyes in, however if you are using regular markers you'll need to leave a little spot uncolored for the pupil. Marker colors like yellow and green will not show up over the top of black. A paint pen will.
To make the teeth simply start in the middle of where the mouth will be and draw a square/rectangle. Now draw another one next to it, and another below. Continue this until your mouth is how you want it.
Add eyebrows with black pen and the pupils with white - then go over the white dots with red, green or yellow. Next add an upside down "v" for a nose.
Apply a coat of sealer and allow it to dry completely.
