Wykoni Report post Posted January 3, 2023 Take a look at an oak leaf. You have of course the main vein, then you have others that run down to the tips of the leaves, they are pronounced but not as wide as the main vein, then finally if you look closer you have very fine veins running off the veins that go to the tip. These are almost invisible but they do give the leaf a little shape. Now have fun with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PastorBob Report post Posted January 4, 2023 Nothing better than practicing some knife work. Something else you might consider, just putting some small swivel knife cuts in the leaves to give them extra texture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
