    Start with a circle and add some wispy petals. Make sure that you shade, too!

    How do I draw a big tree?
    Community Answer
    If you mean tall, elongate the trunk but not the branches. If you mean "bigger all around," widen the trunk and spread the branches wider.

  • Question
    Why do I need to add cylinders to my tree?
    Community Answer
    The cylinders can help you shape your tree and choose the correct placement for your branches. However, you can skip that step if you don't think it's necessary.
