Have you ever thought “Jeeze, I wish there were some leaf vector graphics?” Then you go to find them and all you can find is “free” this and “free” that, but you have to pay a $70 “members fee.” Or you have to buy something else that you don’t really want. Or it is free, but then you download it and it’s not what you wanted? And what’s with all this proprietary garbage, anyway? You know what you’re doing. You know that you’re going to change it, so why are people guarding what could be a really great time saver. Not that you don’t know How to make what you want, but it’s something So simple that’s going to be a part of a greater design that it doesn’t make sense to waste your time making something as ubiquitous as leaves.
Well, never fear, I have beat you to it. Here are some free, really free, leaf vector graphics. Take them, change them, incorporate them into your own designs, change the color, change the size. In short, They’re Yours! Do what you want with them! Enjoy!
These ones I took from a collection of pictures, modified using Illustrator’s wonderful “Live Paint” option. I’ll put a tutorial up on how to use “Live Paint” and “Live Trace” options soon if you’re new to Illustrator. But these were made for my wonderful tutorial on Illuminated Letters following shortly. Check it out here!
Happy designing!
