Just in case anyone cares - I like to start by sketching the basic shape, and then filling in the details. Here's the sketch I started with.

As far as I'm concerned, getting this sketch worked out is the interesting (and far less time-consuming) part. For actually using virtuals to help style a tree, I think I could stop at this point about 90% of the time without really losing anything.

One other note - can anyone pick up the glaring flaw in the filled out virtual that is absent from this sketch?

Cheers,
OMC
