Transcripts

1. Welcome to Bloom with Florals!: Hi, and welcome to the amazing class of Bloom With Florals, relaxing flower drawing for the nine to five non artist. Congratulations on taking a step towards relieving stress in your daily life through finding the love and creative living. So we're going to have so much fun here today. Well, in this class, we're going to go over easy floral drawing techniques that will help you relieve stress in your work environment, and this will also help you relax more in your personal life. We'll look at floral drawing in three Ed steps, the main flower, the leaves, and the flow flowers. You should take this class somewhere you're comfortable. If you have small family members or maybe not so small like your spouse, that might make it hard for you to concentrate, then I have your perfectly. Below this video, you'll find a downloadable coloring book that you can print out so that the whole family can have some fun, creative time to guess. We're focusing on flowers because you never have to worry about making a flower perfect. Flowers are wonderful because like all nature, including humans, it's better if it's imperfect. So drawing flowers is a great way to creatively connect with nature. This will give you a deeper bond with a natural wealth. So stop worrying that you can't grow because the imperfections are what makes each flower unique and gorgeous. That's what makes it more beautiful. So if you need it, this is your permission slip. Look at me in the eye and understand this. You have complete and full permission to take it. So we're gonna help you find the way back to creative, even though you might think you're not creative, which is a big lie, by the way, but we'll go through that a little later. Well, without any further ado, let's get started. 2. Class Project: This, all we'll need is a simple fall point pen. Really, how much easier could this be? We're going to be working on something most of us have in our office space. Our we are going to learn how to decorate our planner to highlight the events and tasks that we have coming up. So if you don't have a physical planner, if you don't should really get one because they're awesome. Then work on the sticky notes you have with you or the notebook that you use to write your daily deuce. When you decorate your plans, you're programming your brain to create an importance that goes along with it. This subconsciously tells your brain how relevant or exciting this taskro event is upon its completion. This is a way to also tell your plans to start bluing along with your foals. The coolest thing about this is that you'll be able to do this whenever you're in for a meeting, that should have been an email or when you're on the phone. This is especially handy because I know you're busy so you don't have to dedicate any extra amount of time, and it's a way to actively remove stress with an ongoing approach. 3. Work Stress Manifest: So let's talk a little bit about work stress and how it can manifest in your day today. So you might think, now, I don't have any work stress, Mara. You're exaggerating. Okay, well, I, too, was a firm believer that I was excellent at handling my stress until my mood and well being started plummeting around my career life. So hear me out. Let's talk about these super simple ways that stress could be creeping into your everyday life. So number one, stress is creeping. Number one way that stress is creeping into your life is you can't stop snacking. You know, you just had lunch but you can't help it. The vending machine is calling your name and you can't seem to get your hands off those colorful yummy looking snacks. And this could mean that you're uneasy and pressured and snacking and most likely unhealthy snacking is the way that you find that outlet. So we number two that stress is creeping into your life is you're having trouble sleeping. So you tend to bring home work with you and your mind is just never resting, thinking about the less to do list that you have to get through tomorrow. And number three, the way that stress is creeping into your life, and this is, I think the most important one is that you get sick often. Did you know that when you're feeling stressed, it can contribute to a lowering of your immune system? This is science. This is not just me talking and saying, Wow, things out of nowhere. There's an actual study by the New York Academy of Sciences by John Caciopo and ten other scientists that performed a study where they tested acute symptoms of stress. This acute symptoms means that there are symptoms in a short course of time and chronic symptoms, which is symptoms that persist over a long amount of time. They tested these acute and chronic stress symptoms in the everyday lives of over 40 women. And so their study concluded that all these women suffered from a decrease in their immune system, making them more prone to infectious or auto immune diseases. So yes, you can definitely blame stress for bringing that dumb little cold that gets you every other week and that has you feeling unproductive for weeks. If you have two out of these three things, then you definitely have it. Yes, you do. I'm diagnosing you right now with this thing we'll now call the No C Outlet Syndrome. The C stands for creativity, yes, it's a thing, even though I just made it up, you know it's real and you know you so hear me out when I tell you, you need to draw flowers. Let's move on to the next lesson. 4. Main Flowers: So for this next part, feel free to put on some background music to relax while you're working through these next videos. Alright, so we're going to start this lesson with the main flowers. So first of all, we're going to see daisies. And as I told you, we're only going to need a single just ballpoint pen. So nothing fancy, this. So we're going to start off with our daisies. These are going to be just little circles like this, and then we're going to do some petals all around, and we're just going to do little loops like this. These are daisies. Sometimes you can just make smaller petals if you want, or you can make longer petals. It doesn't really matter. What you really need to focus on is each and every one of the petals needs to come back to the center. So that's important. And then if you want to get a little more realistic about it or if you want to get a little more fancy about it, you can just go and do the center, and you're going to focus on the petals like this. You know, take a little more time to make them to make them like a little rounder, be more mindful where your petals are showing up. And you see how I'm leaving some spaces between the petals. You can just go in and maybe put some petals or peeking behind them like this because, you know, as I told you, flowers are not perfect. They're always they always have little details in them, and that is what makes them more beautiful. So see, make these little petals stand out in the back of the daisy petals. And if you want, you can just make little veins as well inside each of the petals. And so that just gives it maybe, like, a little more life to them. So I think it makes them look beautiful. And when you're making a big composition with a lot of flowers, this just gives it a lot of life. And yes, so that's a daisy. And now we're going to move on to a daffodil. So daffodils are really simple. We're going to start off with just a little circle in the middle. And then we're going to draw like, kind of, like, a sun shaped thing around it. And then we are going to make six little petals. So we're going to do one, two, three, four, five, six. Like that. And so we're going to draw the petals like this. We're going to bring them to a point and we're going to come back to a point and come back. To a point and come back to a point and come back to a point and come back. And then from here to a point and come back. So this is super simple and very pretty, and it looks amazing when you actually put it inside a composition. So we're just going to add some little veins here to the daffodils. See that. I'm going to do another one, just so you can see, like, a little variation of what that can be. So I'm going to do the center again, and I'm going to do, again, like, a little sun around it. And as you can see, and as I told you in the beginning, this never has to be perfect. This just, you know, you have to do it, and that's it. You just have to let it flow. And so we're going to do six petals. One, two, three, four, five, six, like that. And you're gonna bring them to a point like one, two, three, four, five, six, and here we have our little daffodil. And now I'm going to do some veins on this. Just click little veins like that. If you want to make it more realistic, make sure you're not doing like straight out veins and try to follow along the natural curve of your petal. So see how that looks less natural than this. Next, we're going to see a rose. So our roses these are super, super easy, and they're one of my favorite flowers to draw because they're so beautiful and they're just really easy to draw. So I'm just going to draw, like, a messed up circle like that. Okay. And then from that circle, I'm just going to start from here and go to the top. And then I'm just going to go round again to the bottom like this. And this has to be the most imperfect movement ever, and I'm just going to be drawing the petals, okay? So imagine this is the center of my flower. You don't have to draw this. I'm just drawing this to show you. And so you're going to draw pedals all around that. Now that I'm done with the top part because I want it to be looking more to the side, I'm just going to go in down here and just going to fill this up like this. You see how easy that was. I just drew a little stem like that. I'm going to draw another one. Just like a little mushed up circle right there, and again, just going to go all around. Drawing little petals like this. If you want to give it a more little realistic look, you can draw the stem like this so you can make a little thing right here and then draw the stem like that. That's also I'm adding the little veins that we drew on the other ones. So as I said, roses are just very simple to make. They're really beautiful. And so I'm going to draw another one here, just so you can see what a different kind of variation can look like. So those are roses. Next, we're gonna move on. I think this might be my favorite. I know I say that for all of them, but okay, believe me on this one. So this one is called an Anemone. This one is going to be we're going to do a filled out circle like that. It doesn't have to be filled out perfectly. You can leave little spaces like I did right here. And then I'm going to do I'm going to go around just doing little speckles of this like that. And then I'm going to draw five petals. One, two, three, four, five. These are my petals, and I'm going to start from one of these little lines that I drew. I'm going to go over here. And then I'm going to make, like, a little jagged end. I really don't care how these turn out because I know they're gonna be beautiful cause flowers are just beautiful all the time. So I'm going to all of my petals are gonna have little jagged ends like this at the end. Like this and like this. What I love about anemones Okay, so this is the simple basic one. I'm just going to do another one so I can show you what the variation can be for this one. I'm going to draw little speckles here on the side. Like this. And then I'm going to just do the same thing. I'm going to draw five little lines that are going to indicate my petals, one, two, three, four, five, all around. I don't really care how these are spaced out. Honestly, I'm just going to do another one just so you can see. If I did them all to one side like that, it gives me another look for the flower. So I don't really. They're always gonna be different and they're always gonna look beautiful. So look at this. See? They weren't all perfectly symmetrical. They weren't perfectly placed, and it still turned out fine. So I'm going to do this last one. Like this. I'm going to do the Jadens like that. Like this, then another petal like this. And then like that. So, oh, I forgot to do the little speckles on the side, but see, they don't have to be perfect. So after I'm done with this, I like to put like little petals that are coming out from the back, so they're peeking out. So maybe I'll start here in the middle and then come out like this. And then I'll come out from behind this little petal and just so it gives me a little effect that they're peeking out from behind, and it gives a little more a little more natural look to it. Now I'm going to add some veins to my anemones. So this gives it a little more depth, and it looks really cool and pretty. I like it. See, as I told you, so it can look more natural. You can follow along the natural line of the petals. So for example, all of my veins here are following this line. This one is going to follow this line, for example. So that's how it can look. All of your flowers, you can finish them off with a stem. So it looks nicer and refined when it's, like, a little thin stem like that. So you can do that in all of them. You can leave them like this or you can add your veins, however you prefer them, and just be sure to try to follow along the natural curve of your petals. And then for the daisies, it's exactly the same thing. You just go in and you go like, oh, you make your petal. I mean, your stems like this. For the daffodil. So these are your main flowers. 5. Leaves: Now we're going to move on to our leaves. And these are they are going to be pretty little fillers that are going to give our flowers a pop. They're going to help them stand out. And so we're going to start with a really simple one, and so we're going to draw a line like this. And then I always like to top off my stems of leaves with three little leaves like this. Okay. So it's just it's that shape like this. But really small. And so what you need to pay attention in leaves is that you have to be you always want to be symmetrical for them to look natural. I'm just drawing two sets of little leaves on each side. Well, one set of leaves. One leave to another leave. I'm just matching this side to this side. So that's one type of leaf. The next one is going to be just similar to this one, but I'm going to do something a little different. Instead of just placing the petal directly on the stem, I'm going to so I'm just going to do little pairs of little sticks like this all along the line. Then I'm going to draw leaves on the end of each little stick. Yeah. So these are little drops of water, little sideways drops of water. And these are kind of like more I don't know. I guess you would call I would say like a little more flowy or they might add a little more detail to your drawing. So it really depends on what kind of drawing you're trying to achieve. Okay, so next this is, I guess, the messy one because you go crazy. It doesn't matter what you do. So I'm just going to start at the bottom here of my line, and I'm just going to draw like little long leaves like this. So these don't have to be perfect. I could do a long one like this, and it doesn't really care. It doesn't really matter. I I always have to make sure that each leaf it's independent and individual. So you don't want to go just, like, you know, random doodling like that, but you always want to finish off your leaf like this. Yep. So that's on one side. You could leave it like that on one side, or you can do both sides. You can just overlap your leaves like this. I'm going to do this one on this side and on the other side. So this is just a really good filler leaf. And it's just This is my favorite stress leaf because you don't really have to worry about anything. Actually, you don't have to worry about anything in any of them. And then we're going to move on to our larger leaf. So this is going to be just I'm going to give you, like, the anatomy of the leaf. So I'm going to draw the leaf like that. And then I'm going to draw, like, the stem that's going down the middle like this. And I'm going to draw the veins. The veins, they have to be symmetrical. This one matches with this one on the other side and it comes up all the way to the side of the leaf. I'm just going to do that along the whole leaf. And there you go. You have your leaf like this. You could have a long stem like this, or you can also have a short stem like this. I'm going to show you how I incorporate these into the larger compositions, but I normally don't even use the whole leaf. I normally just have it peeking behind flowers and sometimes this part will only be visible. So this part will only be visible. So that's cool. Next, it's going to be more of a flowy kind of leaf, and this is a beautiful one. So I'm just going to draw, like, some care free lines like this. And I'm going to do this first one that we did here, but I'm going to do it along these leaves along these stems. So I'm just going to draw little leaves like this. So they're kind of little drops of water. And then at the top, I do my group of three, like that. And so I'm going to do it again on this stem, and at the top, I'm going to do my little group of three, and I'm going to do it on the one on the right. I need to match every single leaf with their other leaf. And then on this one, I'm going to do the one at the top. And then this again, I'm pairing each leaf. They all need to have a friend, and so they all need to be paired up. And so these are your leaves. 6. Flow Flowers: Now we're going to move on to our little flow flowers. These are going to be the fillers for your entire composition. So these have to be super simple, super easy to do, and they're just my favorite because you don't have to think a lot about how you're going to make them. So first of all, we're going to start with this pretty little one, which is just we're going to do a half circle like this, and we're going to leave a space on the bottom, and we're going to do a little stem like that. And we're going to go ahead and place our pen on the side of the half circle and we're going to draw petals like this that come and touch the center of this. I'm going to do it again. I drew the other way around, but you guys get it. It's the half circle looking up. I would be an arrow if you were looking at it like this. You see that? Then you're going to leave a space here and now I'm going to come to the side of my half circle and I'm going to draw some petals I love these. I'm going to draw another one. So up here, half circle, leave a space, come down with my stem, and I'm going to come to the side of my half circle, and I'm just going to do my petals. Like that. If you want, you can come in and always do well, not always. If you want, you can do little veins like that. Sometimes when they're so small, you can't even notice them, but, you know, it's in the details. So if you want to go ahead and do that, it can give it a little more detailed look. It can make it pop a little bit more. So now we're going to do like this type of flower, but we're going to do it to the side. So we're going to do a little half circle like this. And now we're going to come down from the rounded part of the circle down, and we're going to add some petals like this. So it's just a flower that's to the side. And then again, I'm just going to draw a little half circle like that, and from the rounded part of the half circle, I'm going to come down, and I'm going to add some petals. So that's just if you can see, it's just, like, a different view from this one. So I'm just going to add little like a little shadow right here. And I like when I can incorporate this half circle with the stem. I think it looks a little more natural, so I'm just going to add a little triangle like that here so I can add it to the stem. If you want, you can also make the stem a little bit thicker, not so much, though, as you want these to be filler flowers and you don't want them to have the full attention. So our next filler flower is going to be this pretty little one, which is going to be just like a little bud. I'm going to do a little kind of half, well, a little mush together circle and then I'm just going to go like this. A little curve at the bottom. Going to add some shadow following along the natural curve of this. And I'm just going to add a petal. I mean, a petal, a stem. So this is such a simple thing to do. So I'm going to do it again, just make a circle, curve down to the bottom and come down with my stem. And I'm just adding some shadows here, some little veins that are along the curve, the natural curve of my flower. Now I'm going to do the easiest one that we're going to do here, and this is it looks really simple and it looks really weird, but when you look at it in a full composition, it looks so nice. It's just going to be a messed up circle like that. It doesn't have to be a perfect circle, and you're going to draw some little dots. They're going to be more up to the top and then down here, you're going to let it breathe a little. All of the dots are concentrated up here and you're just going to draw a stem like that. This is super easy and it's a beautiful fill or flower. I'm going to do it again. A little messed up circle, some dots that are concentrated up to the top and just like that. And now I'm going to do a little budding flower, which this one's really interesting. I'm going to do a half circle like this. I'm not going to close it at the top. Well, it's not a circle. It's more of a Okay, so I'm going to draw a U like that. And then I'm going to come to the left side of the and I'm going to come down like this. And then I'm going to come to the right side of the and then I'm going to come down until I hit the other line like that. And then I'm going to come to one side to the left side of the and I'm going to come up in an upside down V form. So this is a bud. This goes beautifully when you pair it with roses. So I'm going to draw down here. Pair with roses. So, for example, I'm just going to draw a rose real quick. How we learned in our last video. Like this. Okay. So I have my rose here. And sometimes if you want to look more natural, you have to add little buds coming off of it. I'm just going to draw the bud like this again. This is the U like that. Then I'm going to come to the left of the U and come down in a diagonal line until I hit the other side. Then I'm going to go to the other side of the the right side, and I'm going to come down in a diagonal line until I hit the other diagonal line. And then I'm going to come here again to the left upper side of the U, and then I'm going to make an upside down V. I make a little curve like this. And so this can be a great accompaniment for your roses. And I didn't mention before, but this is, like, a beautiful accompaniment for your daisies. So if you're gonna draw daisy like this, this can go alongside it, and it looks so pretty. Alright, so these are your filler flowers. 7. Wreaths: We're coming into our wreaths. And we're going to go through simple, simple wreaths that we can do. And so these can be great if you want to make, like, the cover page of a notebook or if you want to leave a cute little note for somebody lying around, and I'm just going to make a circle like this, and I'm just going to do another circle. And another circle. And you don't want them to be one on top. Like, you don't want to draw three circles like that. You want them to be spread out and so you can see, like, the different lines. So I'm just going to go in and draw some leaves and the only important thing here is to have one on the other side or the other, so we're just going to keep the symmetry like that. But it doesn't really matter if you, for example, want to change directions here. So it just doesn't really matter. You can just kind of move it however you want, do it however you want. It's going to look nice. I'm just going to go in and I'm going to try to make sure to get to go along the three different circles that I drew one on top of the other, that's just going to give it, like, a little more flow. And as I said, it doesn't really matter if I'm going to if I'm doing them to different directions, what's important is that they look filled enough. So I'm just drawing little leaves in all of the directions. And, okay, so I think that looks good. I don't want to overfill it, either. So you could leave it like this because it looks beautiful like this, or you can also start drawing, I don't know, like little you can draw little stems like that wherever you want. And you can draw, for example, like a daisy. You could draw little daisies that are stemming out. Whoops. Like that. So it's the circle and just the petals, like that. Circle and petals like that. Circle and petals like that. You can do that. Or you can just leave it plain as I said, with just the flowers. I mean, just the leaves. And then here you can just, you know, write a little out, like be creative. So you can do that. Or you can do another wreath. So following kind of, like, that same inspiration, and you can do, like, the messy leave that we talked about. And you can just do that on two sides so they can mirror each other. So, for example, I'm just doing little petals like this. Now I'm going to go on this side, and I'm going to follow the direction of these leaves. I'm going to start them like this. I'm just going to draw some leaves here like this. This is a little way to make a very simple wreath and you can leave a sweet note like out the trash. So just make little chorus fun. 8. Blooming Your Planner: Right. So what we all came here to do is we're going to learn how to flourish our journals. So when we actually take into account our tasks and the things that we have to do each day, and you celebrate them a little bit, in this case, we're going to celebrate them with flowers. Then you're training your brain to be excited for that specific task or to look forward to it. So it's not just another boring task that you have to do. It's a thing that you celebrate because if you don't celebrate the tiny things in life, you know, life slips away. So you need to to be mindful of every single thing that you do every day and just be sure that every step that you're taking every day is bringing you towards the best version of yourself and you're building yourself up from that. So this is my journal. This is just my bullet journal. So I draw this myself. But of course, you can just have any type of journal, and they usually have a weekly view, a weekly spread like this. So if you have that, then wonderful. And if you don't, if you have a daily spread, then this will definitely still apply to what we're going to do. So we're going to take, for example, I have schedule social media, which I do not like to do, but I always like to schedule this and just to add little flourishes of love so that I can make my brain love it more. So I'm just going to go in here and I'm going to draw some daisies. I'm gonna draw some daisies like that, so I'm just going to draw the circle and come with the petals like this. And now I'm going to do a leaf that comes out from behind these daisies, and I'm just going to add a stem and some veins in the back. And so this is just giving me a little flare. Oh, I just realized I wanted to draw a small wreath right here. So, similar to what we did in our wreath before, I'm just going to mirror kind of what's going on. On this side, I'm going to mirror it down to this side. So I'm going to draw some flowers down here. Just daisies are my go to flower because they're so simple and they look so nice. And so I'm just going to draw this flower like this. I'm going to add another leaf coming out from behind it like this. So this is a cool way to make things fun. And so right now, what I want to do is I want to kind of flourish my whole week. And so I'm just going to go in to the left side of it, and I'm going to draw a roast. So I'm going to just do my little crooked circle and then I'm just going to go all around with the petals like that. And now I'm going to make some leaves. Come out from the side. Like that. So I don't have a lot of space here, so I'm just going to move down to the bottom of my planer. And so here at the bottom, I'm going to draw an anemone. So I'm just going to draw that filled circle, and then I'm going to go around it with my little speckles like this. It doesn't have to be perfect. I think I've said that enough. And I'm going to do five little petals, so one, two, three, four, five. I'm going to grab one of these, I'm going to make a petal like this. And remember, I can make the ends like a little jagged like that. Since I want to be behind my planner, I'm just going to end this petal behind it like that. So it's kind of like popping up from underneath. And I like that. And I'm just going to decorate this. I'm just going to put some petals behind petals like that. And I'm going to put some veins on this one, and they're going to go along the curve of my nemone just like we did on the first lesson. Like that. Now I'm going to draw a rose like this. Okay. Since I'm on the bottom and I really want to look I want them to look like they're coming from under here, like that, I'm just going to turn my paper around because I want it to look like it's coming from down here. So, for example, I'm going to draw my rose and just so it's easier for me to draw. I'll do it like that. So first thing I'm going to do when I'm making a composition is make my main flowers. So for example, I did my nemone here. I'm making my rose here. I'm going to draw a big daisy over here. I just draw center, and draw the petals. I'm going to make some little petals come behind the petals here. I think I'm going to add some veins to this, even if they're small because it's a small flower. Well, the petals are small. I'm just going to draw little veins like this. And now I'm going to draw my daffodil. That's the other flower that we learned so it looks like this. We're going to make the circle like that, and we're going to make the sun. Then we're going to do one, two, three, four, five, six petals like that. I'm going to grab one of the lines and I'm going to connect it with a little V shape to the other one and repeat that with the other ones. You see how this one turned out really crooked? It doesn't really matter. There we go. Our daffodils So pretty. And we're going to fill that in with all the veins. So here's our little daffodil. And then I'm just going to draw another nemone just because I love them and they're beautiful. And so I'm just going to draw, like, the circle like that, and just the dots all around the circle. And I'm going to make five petals, one, two, three, four, five, and I'm going to bring them together with little crooked things at the end. Like that. I'm going to draw some veins. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to start with my leaves. Step number one is the big flowers. Step number two is leaves. I'm just going to make some leaves like that, the first that we did. I'm just going to draw a stem and then I'm going to draw little leaves that are covering up with each other. Like that. And at the top, you know, I like to do these little cute groups of three. No, going to add two more on the bottom there because it didn't look filled enough for me. I'm just going to willy nillly draw these all over my page. Okay, so I drew these along the bottom of my planter. Well, right now, it's at the top because it's upside down. So now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to just do the next flower. I mean, the next the next leaves, which are just the messy ones. So I'm just gonna draw a stem like that, and then I'm gonna go in from the bottom, just drawing like this. Just messy, messy, messy. And I'm gonna just go all around and all along the bottom of my page here. So when you feel you've had enough of the leaves, I'm just gonna add another smaller daisy here because I feel this daisy is feeling kind of alone, so I'm just gonna add it. And I'm just ending these petals here because I want them to be behind the box. And now I'm gonna add some veins. Of course, if you want to be real strict about it and just make it look a little bit more uniform, depends on whether you're going for, like, wild flowers or something like that. Then you can just stick to a main flower and just do everything around that main flower. So you draw your main flower everywhere and just go crazy with that. But I'm just doing all of these just so I can get, like, a wild flower kind of look. And then on the anemone, I forgot to do the little petals behind, so I'm just going to do that. So now that I have all my leaves and I have all my flowers like that, I am going to go in with the flow flowers. So right here I have the daisies, and remember how I said that the daisies could look really well paired up with something else. So I'm just gonna draw the little pairings for the daisies. So I'm going to draw the line like that, and then I'm going to draw a half circle, leaving a space, and then I'm going to come in with my petals. So I'm just going to do that again, just the other way around. I'm going to draw the circle first, the half circle, leave a space, then come down with my stem and draw some petals like that. So I'm just going to do that down here real quick. I don't even need to draw this stem because it's going to be behind the box like that. And then the daisy, and so I'm going to do, like, that little half circle to the side and just draw my my petals like that. So I'm just going to go all over the page drawing those little daisies to the side. Now, I drew a rose down here and it looks kind of lonesome, so I'm just going to draw a bigger one up here. Bring the stem down, and now I'm going to do a little rose bud. Do you remember how to do those? So it's just a u and then from the corner of the u down diagonally, and then from the other corner of the U down diagonally, and then a little inverted V. So that is the rose bud. And I'm just going to continue doing Daisies because I think they're a beautiful filler leave. And I also can do the other one that I showed you guys, which is the little circle like that and then down like a U. And then this is another beautiful filler flower. So whenever I have extra space here at the bottom, you can see that I've started adding my leaves. So you remember how we did the big leaves, and I told you that sometimes I only put, like, half of the leaf because everything I tend them to I tend to hide them behind other things. So for example, here, I'm seeing some space, so I'm just going to draw, like, a leaf behind everything. And I'll draw the middle part, and then I'll just draw the veins here. So over here, I'm feeling it kind of kind of empty, too, so I'm just going to do, like, a little leaf behind all of this. So I'm done with this. So now I'm going to turn it around just to see just how beautiful it looks. Sometimes I really like to go over it with my super tip markers. So these are just random colored markers that I have. But, for example, I love drawing. This is just a very pastel kind of looking pink. I'm just going to go in in my flowers and I'm going to draw, just sloppily draw on top of my flowers. And you see, I'm not even coloring them in correctly. Just doing that, maybe some petals, maybe some leaves. Pretty. So, you see, it just kind of helps it really to pop a little bit and just makes it a little more fun. This is for you. This is completely to focus on your stress relief and just making your days pretty. So if you have your journal decorated like this, it's definitely gonna help motivate you in your day to day life. Remember, decorate your things. I forgot this, but this is my mastermind, and I love my mastermind sessions. So I'm just going to draw an anemone, right here. So since it's not gonna be, like, the full thing, I'm just going to draw three petals. One, two, three, oh, and there a fourth. So there you have it, you guys. This is how you can decorate your journal. 9. Key Points: So you see now just how easy it is for stress to come creeping into our lives.
