Thank you so much! I actually had a couple different attempts until I found something that worked well and fit the style of the rest.

It ended up less labor intensive than some previous attempts would’ve been, but still was a whole lotta work, so you might still want to try different approaches!

I basically made rough color sploches first, staying in darker shades. Then I used a basic round brush with the taper set to quicky reduce brush size with less pen pressure, that’s how I get that leaf shape with quick short brush strokes. Then I just layered them from back to front, getting lighter in color.

Sorry it’s a bit hard to describe in writing, I hope it makes any sense at all…
