The picture above has 3 potential enemys in a "minimalist style platformer game" that I've been working on and I'd rather not say much about yet.

Im satisfied with many of the enemies I've drawn exept for the weed leaf "furthest to the left". I cant seem to wrap my mind around what to improve without making the sprite larger, to me personally, I think the pot leaf looks more like a cactus than anything. I only added some other enemies in the picture for a reference to size. If I can get any advice or critique on making the weed leaf "look like an actual weed leaf" I'd greatly appreciate it.

Cannibis leaves are very broad and flat, with four side subleaves and one big one at the top. The root of the leaf is very low down.

When all else fails, remember to look at reference - lots of reference. It always helps when things are looking wrong.

Wow! I didnt even think it was possible without making the sprite much larger, thanks much!
