Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Step 1: Prepare and sketch

Wash and dry your rock. Use a pencil to sketch the fox face — a triangular head shape with pointed ears at the top and a rounded chin at the bottom.

2

Step 2: Paint the orange base

Paint the entire rock with bright orange paint. Apply two coats for a rich, even color. Let each coat dry completely before adding the next.

Step 3: Add the white markings

Paint a white area on the lower half of the face, creating the fox's muzzle and chin. Add white fur details inside the ears. The white should create a distinct contrast with the orange.

Step 4: Paint eyes and nose

Paint almond-shaped eyes using black paint with a small white dot in each for a sparkle. Add a small black triangle nose at the center of the white muzzle area.

Step 5: Add details and seal

Use brown paint to add subtle fur texture lines on the cheeks and forehead. Paint the ear tips black. Add whisker dots on the muzzle. Let dry and seal with clear spray.

Step 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

Triangular or teardrop-shaped rocks naturally suggest a fox face shape.
The key to a good fox is the contrast between orange and white areas.
Practice drawing the almond-shaped eyes on paper before painting.
Add dark brown fur lines radiating from the nose for a realistic touch.
A touch of darker orange on the ears and forehead adds depth.
For the RoxGeo code on the bottom, use a waterproof permanent marker (like Sharpie) or an acrylic paint pen. Apply 2–3 coats of clear sealant over the code — this keeps it readable through rain, sun, and handling for months.
Writing #ROXCODE (e.g. #ROXABC123) on your rock makes it easy to find via Google search. We actively optimize for this hashtag, so anyone who searches for it will find your rock’s profile page quickly.
The full address ROXGEO.COM/CODE takes the finder directly to your rock’s card, where they can see its full travel history, previous finders, and photos from every stop on its journey.
