    Are you trying to draw detailed leaves or are you having trouble with the outline of simple leaves?

    My tip would be that unless you're doing an extremely detailed 3d track, just make simple trees where you don't draw individual leafs. I made a post somewhere with some examples and tutorials in a tree thread by jacobcahoon

    Individual leaves generally look bad. Add a few, but just stick to a good outline instead.

    Yep, not enough space and colours to individually give them their due. Plus it'd take forever tbh.

    Cataclysm does draw individual leafs. He pretty much draws everything you could possibly draw

    But I'm moving away from that, or at least I'm trying. It just takes up so many characters and so much time. And that's why I left deadwood leafless. I'm not good at leaving things blank, I consider myself a perfectionist in that regard.

    But yeah no, i don't suggest drawing all the leafs.

    I think this is an appropriate amount of leaves... right?

    I didn't say anyone should do it, just giving an example that it can look good. I would personally never try that because of how much time it'd take

    e: Cataclysm looks nice man

    I like silhouetting the leaves in my trees, with the occasional dark spot of leaves like this. Random individual leaves throughout looks good too if done well imo.

    I like this but it looks more like a cartoon. Which isn't a bad thing mind you, just a different style.
