Draw Autumn Leaves Tutorial

[merrak]

Here is a fun method for drawing autumn leaves.

Step 1. Visit San Francisco at night. Take a picture of downtown.



Step 2. Apply the GMIC ellipsionism filter.



Step 3. Copy the result into your painting. Use the transmogrified San Francisco picture as a source for the clone tool. Draw leaves.

Now I wonder what the effect would be if I used other cities...
