Leaf-everything studies

Before I begin animating the leaf-drop, I need to fully understand how a leaf looks in different angles, how it reacts to different motion, etc.

After studying leaves after a little bit of time, I've realized it's much like gesture/figure drawing the human torso in a very simplified version. So after some thinking, it's fairly easy to draw at any angle.

The leaf is very loose, so the leaf very well follows its action line. It's so fluid in its motion it's like water!
