CW: Leaf sketches - YOUR DIGITAL MOM NEXT DOOR

I have not been feeling well for the past days and thought I’d pass this weekend to our artwork day, but Deye won’t spare me. I just couldn’t think of something. I told Deye to give me a few minutes and see if I can come up to something. I, then, went to the terrace to actually get some fresh air but ended up picking a small guava leaf and thought of something for this week’s artwork!

Leaf sketches

Materials needed:
A4 paper or sketch pad
Old crayons, unwrapped
Leaf, any will do but preferably the ones with more embossed veins

Here’s how:

Put the leaf under the paper.
Then color the part where the leaf is put. As much as possible hold the crayon horizontally to give an “even” result, touching the veins only.
Use different colors as you wish.

Leaf sketches

I initiated with one leaf and Deye did the rest.

I am a full-time home-based Marketing Manager by day, 24/7 Mom, and a Blogger/Content Creator in my spare time. Proud mom to 2 girls and 1 boy, Derelle, Erchelle, and Elric.

I am happy to share my adventures as I walk through motherhood and have to do most things on my own while my husband works miles away from us. Turning my passion into a profitable venture is another thing.

Authoring and managing this personal blog developed my social media awareness over the years.

From being an ex-OFW to doing what I am good at in the comfort of my own home – while taking good care of my 3 wonderful kids, I hope that people see me as a great inspiration when it comes to pursuing my passion and turning it into a profitable venture.

A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
