White Oak I love working with fall leaves that have spent a few days between the pages! This post shows the steps that I took to create a pattern using a divider. This is the perfect project for beginners. If you do not have one, you may want to add it to your holiday wish list! Feel free to copy and paste this image to get started. Drawing Materials Tools: M echanical pencil, divider, kneaded eraser, and a fine tip black marker. Paper: One piece of tracing paper and one piece of watercolor paper. I always draw on tracing paper. It is easy to erase and saves a step. If I drew on sketch paper, I would need to draw it again on tracing paper to create my pattern. Even though the leaf is pressed, I found that it was raised up a bit. So I took a piece of cardboard and placed the edge on the mid-vein and traced the outline with my mechanical pencil. Note that I made small marks where the veins ended, as you will see in the next photo. T
