    Another easy way to draw a leaf:
    Draw a simple line with the linetool, increase stroke width to 80px or so, choose width profile 1 , go to path > outline stroke.
    Tada!

    This is just AMAZING! Well, at the very beginning I didn't think I will be able to draw these beautiful pods by the end of the video but it turned out really working. It's easy when you explain it like that. And you know what's so smart about that tutorial is that you have used a bunch of commands and repeated them over and over again so we could no longer forget them. By the time I was doing that baby pod, I knew what to do and how to do it! Thanks. Really thanks from the bottom of my heart!
