How to turn a sketch into a vector in Adobe Illustrator. How to draw vector leaves tutorial.

In this video, I show my step by step method how to turn a sketch into a vector in Adobe Illustrator and how to draw vector leaves in Adobe Illustrator based on a template pencil drawing. I plan to later create a pattern with these leaves so please stay tuned for more videos in this series of tutorials.  I decided to show how to draw leave since it is such a nice spring season in California right now and the leaves are really beautiful and bright. I feel really inspired by nature and always try to use this inspiration in my repeat pattern artwork and design.
