As a teacher full of tons of loads in making visual aids, I use Sharpie because of the variant colors and permanent pigments. They give more life to my visual aids... I like going beyond what was given to me which are the old boring black permanent pens to make my visual aids. So regardless of the what was given, I buy permanent colors to have rainbows in my lessons... I use Sharpie.
Yesterday, as I browsed my Instagram account, I came across of the post of Belle De Jour Planner of having "SHARPIE DE MAYO", a passion series which everybody will surely learn and enjoy, and here is what they had posted...

As for me...
oh my! I know how to draw... I know how to put on the colors... but I don't know how to use Sharpie as my coloring materials for it...
I thought of the simplest way yet requires great patience to control the flow of the colors... DOTTING on paper. I used corona water color paper, which of course, is very absorbent. Then using a pencil number 3 , I drew my flower... the flower that I loved most.... the flowers the pops anywhere in any kind of soil condition --An ORANGE DAISY.
An orange daisy that popped on my head... on my mind that no matter how dry and malnourished it is my head... still I am a beautiful flower that blooms and survives... and here is my finish product.

| The shape of the dots depends on how you put the dots... upward it the best but I like mine in a slant way. The size of the dots depend on how large you want you dots... the quicker you remove your Sharpie the smaller it is... |
This took me an hour to complete. In some what way it relaxed me too as I finished this. I hope you would too... Try this for yourself...
