6 Drawing the first tree

I add a new layer, either through the Layer menu or by pushing up on the thumbstick of your left hand. Using the Capped Cylinder brush, I draw in the stem of the first tree, and then the branches. Remember to have Pressure Sensitive Size turned on for this. Once I’m happy with the form, I use the Optimize tool to make sure that the tree isn’t too heavy, from a polygon standpoint.
