Description I found a giant yellow leaf and it seemed like a good canvas.

Marker on leaf, and a touch of sunlight. Similar in technique to this:

Thanks! I know old comment is old and all. I was just remembering how much the leaves seemed to glow with a little light shining through them. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do more stuff like this one autumn rolls around...

Ooh, such lovely swirls! The combo of colors is quite effective, and again the light shining through the leaf makes for a nice effect. I also love the varied patterns; the leaf-shapes in the far right pattern in particular are lovely.

Thanks. I hoped that I was putting a little bit of a different spin on the same aesthetic by doing the leaf pattern instead of the usual circles.

Little bits of different spin are, at this point, practically the defining trait of the series, so I'd say you were successful there. ^_^

Love the patterns... and the colors give it a look of the phases of a leaf!

This is a lovely idea. I've never seen anything like this before Beautiful.

Yeah, I haven't either. Also have been hesitant to go looking because I don't want to inadvertently take anyone else's ideas! But it's really fun, they're surprisingly easy to draw on... at least, until they dry out.

Thank you! I've been thinking of doing a lot of leaf-related art for years now and I'm really glad I finally worked up the gumption to do it.
