Now you will draw the leaf itself. Start with an arc extending upwards near the base of the leaf. Make a small arc down, then another, longer arc towards the left. Draw two more jagged points in this way, connecting the final arc to the point of the leaf vein. Do the same below the vein, making four jagged points in the process. You now have the outline of your first leaf.

Draw a curving line around your small circle in an irregular oval shape, open to the bottom right corner. This will look a little bit like an ear.
