    Cedrus - Draft

    Hi. I got a Cedrus and I am thinking of doing some work on it. I made a draft. I am a starter (<2yrs) and I don't have much bonsai experience and much less in drawing. The goal here would be to have a defined goal and stick to that, as sometimes I drift over time. Would you please tell me...

    Juniper first draft

    Thanks. I did it for fun, it is the first time I try to design a tree. :cool: The branches it has are the ones the tree has currently, just with a bit more volume. That is why I did not draw it again. This would be a "short term" achievement (branches). The Jin and Nebari would take...
