How to make a leaf....I picked a leaf to do because it shows how to use the extrude tool and bend tool...

I think some of the more important tools....

Lets get started.

First drag in the extrude tool...

This makes this screen open so you can draw your basic shape of the leaf....

make sure that the last point hits the first point you started at the end of your shape or the leaf will not be solid.

After you draw the leaf you ned to give it depth...
so in the box right below the box you drew the leaf ...draw a new line..very small like in this pic.

Ok... Press the x in the corner and then press yes..

now you have your leaf....but we still need to bend it...so open the bend tool ...

Now give your leaf a little bend like in the pic...

when you are happy with it press OK  and return to the main screen.

And thats it...simple it should now look something like this....

Now all you have to do is texture it to give it that real look...

I hope that you liked this tut....

PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS IF YOU LIKE.
