"Alright now I am going to start with the leafs of the palm tree and the leafs don't have to be beautiful or special just try to do them the best you can. So start off with your paint brush with a good tip and at the very top of the palm tree you're going to create some palm leafs and they pretty much are just a zig zag of a leaf. Now you can kind of see the basic structure there but that works the best just going back and forth with the zig zag leave a little bit of a space for you to color it in but all your leafs should look somewhat like that especially when you're doing it in a silhouette like I am. So there is the second one and finish up. It's the one in the background now it's kind of hard to paint over these other ones so all you want to do is on the top of this one just make it look like a leaf is bulbing out and all you really need to do is draw like half a triangle at the top of the tree. That ends up making it look like the leaf is bending backwards but thats that part."
