Bonsai tree: Drawing Your Bonsai

34-3draws
A page from Bonsai Today issue 34 (all in stock Bonsai Today issues are currently 25% to 35% off). The artist (bonsai and sketch) is Yukio Karino (mistranslated last name?).
We’ve featured bonsai drawings way back in the early years of Bonsai Bark (2009). We still think it’s a good idea and suggest you try your hand at it. Contrary to the pervasive poverty mentality many of us have about these things, you can do it if you just take your time. The drawings (you can call them sketches if that helps) don’t have to be perfect, and with almost any genuine attempt, you’ll learn something about your bonsai.
34finish
After. It’s a Shimpaku juniper. It’s still not finished (which begs the question), but you can get a pretty good idea where it’s headed.
34future
The future (at least for the time being).
34before
Before.
