"Stone Wall in Pen and Ink"
Page 3 of 6

In the second image, I have rounded the corners and left space between the stones.
In the third image, I have filled in the spaces between the stones thus creating the mortar between each stone.
The other way, and the one I prefer, is to create each stone separately. This creates a more realistic looking wall since some of your stones will be slightly odd shaped and the thickness of the mortar between the stones will vary from place to place.

In the first image below, I have drawn several individual stones in and around each other. There are white spaces between the stones, especially around the rounded corners. In the second image, you can see where I have filled in the white spaces between the stones, thus creating a section of wall.
Compare the two methods. The rectangle method is shown on the left and the individual stone method is shown on the right. Which do you prefer?
