There are two ways to draw leaves: a small leaf and a sandwiched leaf. Point leaves are called ink leaves or boneless leaves; Sandwich leaf is also called double hook leaf, or empty hook leaf. Usually there is a kind of clip leaf corresponding to a kind of point leaf, but the pine needle is too thin and there is no double hook leaf.
Traditional leaf shapes can be roughly divided into five categories: ① middle point, ② flower-shaped point, ③ Toona sinensis leaf point, ④ mixed point, ⑤ maple leaf point and pine needle.
The rules of leaf painting: ① the shape and size should be uniform, the thickness of the pen should be uniform, and the spacing between one leaf and another should be uniform. (2) Use the pen calmly and happily, use the pen hard, in one go, naturally and vividly. (3) The leaves cling to the tree.
