Learn to draw leaves (3 different, easy varieties!)

-
Hi guys!! Welcome back. If you didn't check out my first drawing tutorial, make sure you do because this on builds off the previous. Now that we have learned flowers, lets add some leaves!! In this tutorial you will learn how to draw a basic leaf, an organic shaped leaf and fern style leaf.
Basic Leaf
Step 1: Draw a line. This is your stem
Step 2: Draw symmetrical curves around the stem
Variations: There are many variations to leaves, have fun with them. You can add them to flowers create vines. I like to add designs to my leaves. You can also add color
Organic Leaf. This is by far the easiest one, it's super simple. 
Step 1: Draw your stem, a curvy line
Step 2: Draw an organic shape around it. This does not have to be symmetrical or anything, that's the awesomeness of this leaf. When I say organic shape, think of nature and how not everything is perfect, Organic shapes can just be a lump
Step 3: Add color and draw them in a tropical rain forest!
Leaf: fern style. This leaf is a bit more challenging than the others as it takes a bit more time to draw.
Step 1: Draw a curving line, this is your stem
Step 2: Draw your guidelines as an leaf-shaped oval around the stem. Make sure to draw this step lightly.
Step 3: This step is a bit difficult to explain so pay attention to the drawings below. Draw curving triangles for the many leaves on the step. Make sure they are matched up and aligned with the leaves on the other side
Step 4: Erase the guidelines and add color.
Questions? Put them in the comments below and I will get to them ASAP.  Also be on the lookout for my next drawing tutorial, how to draw vases. Thanks for reading!!

Hi guys, welcome back. Today I will be sharing a super easy recipe for chicken tacos. First spread Mexican triple shredded cheese blend (or whatever cheese you like ) and pesto on the soft taco shell and toast in toaster oven until melted and smooth. Place thinly shredded broccoli and carrots (they kind of look like sprouts) in the middle of the taco. You can put whatever type of salad you like. Then put sliced avocado After that you put salsa of your choice on the top. I put mango-peach salsa because its so tropical and summery!! Then layer pieces of grilled chicken  And then top it off with some taco seasoning This is the vegetarian option above And there we have it, my super easy recipe for tacos and I hope this inspires you to make your own!!

If the device that you are joining with is a phone, tablet or iPad, please make sure that you have installed the Google Meet app. Also please try to RSVP in the Learn to Bake Group Chat. The item we are making is Maple granola. This is a really simple recipe that I enjoy making with my dad (who is the one who introduced me this awesome recipe.) There are many variations to granola, you can add coconut ( I love this) or add more maple syrup or a stronger maple taste. (I really love this.
