Here are a couple of common errors in scroll design. As I mentioned in Steve's critique thread, care must be taken at the splits in the leaves. The top illustration shows splits in the leaves which do not follow the flow of the scroll, which I've marked in red. In other words, if you follow the line, it exits the scroll at an awkward angle as opposed to following the scroll's growth as in the illustration below.
Marked in blue are also some common errors in which the body of the leaf element is wide, gets progressively thinner, and then gets wide again. I've also corrected this in the bottom illustration.
These are very common errors which every scroll designer has made. Hopefully this will help you avoid them now that you know what to look for. / ~Sam
