Step 1: Draw rectangular tiles

Start by sketching out the basic brick wall layout using simple rectangular tiles. Keep the spacing even to create a natural brick pattern. You don’t need to be too precise, because slight imperfections add character. Use a colored pencil, such as Ohuhu 76, to gently outline the shapes.

Step 2: Use four shades of brown & randomly color the tiles

Next, bring the bricks to life by coloring them in with a mix of four brown shades. Randomly alternate between YR515, YR215, E415, and E313 to create variety and texture. Make sure no two bricks side by side share the same tone. This gives your wall a more realistic and organic appearance.

Step 3: Outline the bricks with a dark brown shade

To make each brick stand out, outline the edges using a dark brown marker. We recommend using Black Brown E515 for strong yet soft definition. Carefully trace the borders of each tile to emphasize their shape. This step helps give structure and depth to the overall wall.

Step 4: Add random dots

For a bit of rustic charm, use the same Black Brown E515 to dot randomly across the surface of the bricks. These tiny marks mimic natural imperfections like pores or weathering. Scatter them sparingly to avoid clutter. The goal is to enhance the texture without overpowering the coloring.

Step 5: Use green to add random dots for a mossy effect

Finally, add a touch of nature by using a Green Marker Ohuhu G313 to apply small, scattered dots. Focus on corners or the base of bricks where moss might naturally grow. This soft green touch brings warmth and a lived-in feel to your wall. Don’t be afraid to experiment with density for a more organic effect.
