Weekly Drill 083 - #Bonsai

This week we want you to find your inner Zen, and create a Bonsai tree, then upload it to your Rookies profile and tag it #RookiesWeeklyDrills and #Bonsai.

Brief

Bonsai is a Japanese term which, literally translated, means “planted in a container”. The ultimate goal of growing a Bonsai is to create a miniaturized but realistic representation of nature in the form of a tree. Some Bonsai trees take hundreds of years to reach their mature state, but you get two weeks, so here is some inspiration to get you going. As always, you can create your project in any medium.

To get some feedback on your work-in-progress project before you submit it, head over to Discord channel and chat with other artists having a crack. To see all the Weekly Drill projects just follow this link.
