I made this little tutorial on how to draw Naruto's leaf symbol since when i looked for it I couldn't find anything.

P.S: check out the high quality ;-)

thanks, I'm quite the beginner myself so figuring Illustrator out and making .gif's with Photoshop is good practice :-)

Now, if I could only draw anything decent to show off...

addendum:

If you want to get a double line bump effect you can select the leaf, "copy" & "paste in front" it, and have the one in front be slightly slimmer stroke then the one in the back - say by one or two points, this will result in a very good bump effect when colored and done right.
just make sure to "round cap" both lines...

here's the result:


and here's another possibility :


notice middle right shows were to select the "round cap" instead of the "butt cap"...
