I’ve come to find that representing nature is challenging — I never seem to get the curves, stems, and connectivity of branches just right. Try and try again, what I produce is just not like the plant right in front of me. I decided that I would just create my own tree. It’s a bit fantasy, but I like it just fine!
:D
One good way to draw trees is to start the lines of the branches from as many outer points as possible, even in front and behind, and converge them all into a tree trunk leading to the ground.
Very interesting idea — I think you just inspired me, and kick-started a pretty awesome project! Thanks for the tip!
