Supplies you need

You can always start with Bujo supplies you already have but here are the basic things you might need :

Bullet Journal or blank paper

Favorite pencil and eraser

Waterproof Black Pen

Watercolor

Any other color medium of your choice

Step 1 : Rough Pencil sketch

Start lightly drawing with pencil . I usually start drawing with straight vertical line and then keep on adding branches to it . Try to add branches in such a manner that it looks balanced .

Start outlining the branches as you want. If you want to make your tree look slender , add more like a conical shape . If you want a big bloat then add a more distorted circular shape .

Tip: Don’t press your pencil too hard as it would leave marks later while you erase them .
Always choose your favorite pencil to start drawing with.

Step 2 : Pen Outline

After you are happy with your pencil drawings start outlining with waterproof black pen . You can use gel pen or ball pen as you like it , here I have used Black Gel Pen . To achieve more smooth line while drawing with black pen try not to shake your hands and avoiding lifting you pen too often .

You can also eliminate this step and draw directly with paint . You are free to experiment with different mediums like sketch pens , brush pens or any other colored pen . Let your creative juices flowing at this point .

Tip: Try to use waterproof black pen
If using any other medium , keep in mind to check whether they are waterproof or not .

Step 3 : Add colors

Pick your favorite colors and start painting . This is the ultimate step of happiness . You might not like your drawings at step 2 but not you can add colors and bring them to life .

Try to choose more bright colors or you can choose colors according to your theme .
