Painting Monstera leaves

I love to design seamless repeat patterns for Spoonflower. I wanted to make monstera leaves, and even though I tried to follow the instruction in the class, I ended up just doing it the way I normally do. I wish it was less complicated, the leaves should be smooth and not so many lines.
I really love the addition of the dust that I learned in the class!
I have included my inspiration photos and my initial drawings of the leaves.
