Hey!
So in that case, I did not outline the leg. Pigments naturally push to the edges if you're using it quite wet, which I do.
You can see, in the top left leaf and seeds. At the base of the leaf and steam, I have outlined just a touch, to emphasise the node. I do this in the joints of the seed pods too. Emphasising nodes is a great compositional tool.
The main body of the leaves, seed capsules and branches i do not outline. The paint does all the work for me.
