Want to learn to draw a leaf? Here’s how to get started.

In the hope that you may like to try a drawing of your own, I want to share a 2 techniques that I employ in my work: bounding boxes and observational drawing. These are foundational drawing techniques that can be used to achieve realism and accuracy in your work.

I’m going to use leaves to demonstrate how to use a bounding box, and how to observe closely. In so doing, I will show you a 4 step process that you can follow to draw a leaf of your own.
