Question about drawing

[Albacore]

You can make your outlined leaf into a brush. In the movies that come with your programme have a look at "creating a brush, + editing a brush". These movies are found under Help, then down to Movies, the scroll down to Lines & Shapes and then tick the movie you would like to see. Play about with these brushes they may help.

This isn't a smart alecy question.. lol I'm serious.. I know it might come across differently...

I totally appreciate the help.
