In this next step,
you will create multiple layers
of some bluish green leaves.
These will make the bed of leaves seem much
more dancer and nicer. For that.
Let's create a new layer on top of the others.
After this, let's go to the colors hand-picked
these beautiful middle green from the top left side.
Now, grabbing the album brush from Inking,
you will create a new shape of oak leaf,
starting with the main vein that
indicates the direction of the leaf.
And now as before,
Let's go to the bottom left side of
the line and create those curves going up,
making a big, beautiful curved line on
top and a couple of more on the right side.
After this, let's fill the shape
of the leaf with this beautiful green.
Now as before, you will want
to make some beautiful veins.
So you will firstly grab from the colors,
the dark green from the top-left side,
and then make a selection of the leaf.
After that makes sure the brush is ready.
And now you are ready to place that middle vein and
some very delicate shorter lines that leave
from the middle line towards each of the lethal leaflets.
Now you will want to harmonize the color
of the leaf with the rest of the illustration.
You will want to grab the textured keeping brush and then
using the beautiful orange
from the bottom left side of the palette,
you will place a beautiful light
on the left side of the leaf,
gradually building the textures more on the left side.
Now let's make the edge from the right a bit more faded.
So you will grab the beautiful brand
from the color palette and
you will integrate the edge of
the leaf more into the composition.
Just a few passes will be enough to give
it a much more softer appearance.
A bit more of this middle,
orange in the middle.
And after this, the leaf is ready to be duplicated.
Let's use the Move tool and move
this beautiful leaf to one side of the canvas.
Now using the selection tool,
you will click on the leaf and then you can copy and
paste the leaf and drag the new one on the left side.
It is so easy to use these tools,
they make the creative process much easier and relaxing.
Now let's use the warp tool to
modify the shape of the last leaf.
And then you can drag the middle of
the leaf to the right to make it wider.
This will be a beautiful and wide leaf.
After you are satisfied with the shape,
you can use the free foreign to make it quite smaller.
Now let's tilt it a bit to the left.
Third can sit nicely between the
red and the dark leaves from the top.
Now that the second leaf is placed,
you will want to go to layers and
select the layer of the first leaf.
After this, you will go to the selection tool and
right at the bottom copy and paste the beautiful leaf.
And then you can drag it down so it can be visible.
Now let's rotate it maybe three times.
And after that you can flip it horizontally so you can
find a very nice place for
it on the lower left side of the canvas.
Let's maybe make it a bit smaller so it can be
different in size from the red leaf from the left.
And this will be the perfect place for it.
Now you have two more leaves to place.
So let's firstly go to the first leaf.
And now using the selection tool,
you can copy and paste once more the beautiful leaf.
Let us drag it to the left side so it can be visible.
Let's make it quite smaller.
And now let's use the warp tool
to make it much why they're a
nicer looking at how cute
it looks between the other leaves.
Let's make it nice and straight and uniform.
And now using the uniform to less red
the top of the leaf to the right to tilt it,
let's drag it to the corner over the beautiful red leaf.
And now it's time for the first leaf to find this place.
So let's use the move tool on
uniform and drag it lower and
place it diagonally so we can
indicate towards the middle of the canvas.
Let's make it a bit smaller and place it
right here between the two dark leaves.
Look at how nice and diverse they live together.
It is time to make the bed of leaves even cause here.
So you will firstly go to layers
and merge down the layers of the green leaves.
After they are altogether in one single layer,
you will duplicate this layer,
so many beautiful leaves.
Now let's use the Move tool and drag the new layer a
bit on one side so it can be more visible.
Now let's rotate it to about 90 degrees,
maybe a bit more.
And now let's drag this layer to
find a nice place for the leaves.
As you can see, if the layer
has a greater number of elements,
it can be a bit more difficult to find that sweet spot.
So let's maybe make them a bit
smaller and drag them to the center.
Now let's tell them more to the left.
And this could be a very good place for them.
It looks like a good rhythm of color.
After this, you will go to Adjustments,
Hue, Saturation and Brightness.
And let's shift just a little bit
the color balance in making the layer a bit more cold,
more saturated, and more dark,
this leaves will look great as a bottom layer.
So let's go to the layers and drag this layer
between the two layers of red heat leaves.
Now it feels like the edge of
the canvas is still very empty.
And more and more leaves are crowding into the middle.
So let's add some more of
these beautiful dark green leaves on the edges.
For that, you will need to go to the layers
and duplicate the original layer.
Now you will use the move tool
to drag the leaves to the sides.
Now let's drag the leaves from the corners and make them
bigger so they can occupy more of the background.
You can tilt them to the right
and find the position for the leaves.
Let's drag them a bit more to
the center so the leaves can
seem like they emerged from
the same little hole in the ground.
Now that you have found the good position for
these leaves that will be
placed in the back of the others.
Let's go to adjustments, hue,
saturation and brightness,
and play a little bit with the brightness,
making them a bit more dark and maybe make
them less saturated to faith in the background.
Now, after the color of the leaves is changed,
you can go to Adjustments, gaussian blur,
and now sliding the pencil to the right,
you will blurred these leaves so they don't
attract so much attention from the center.
Just a little bit will be
enough to lose a bit of the focus.
Now you will go to the layers and drag the layer of
the last blurred leaves just
above the layer of the background textures.
Now after you've put the leaves on the background,
you are ready for the next beautiful step.
