Trying to draw a tree based on math

More precisely, these four rules:

- the trees and branches are cylinders

- the cross section of the sum of the branches is equal to the cross section of the stem. This also holds true for the branching of the branches

- there is roughly 60° between the branches (this one I admit I struggle to follow)

You can see the fractal nature of trees here

The problem is:

Drawing trees is really hard

Too many lines and too many details

Here’s an artist totally fascinated by tree forms: Graham Sutherland, who spent many hours translating the rugged vegetation of Pembrokeshire into Art.

I am having a hard time figuring out how to have more dark darks…
