Structure
The Branches - Start with one side and then to the other.The branches do not have to be perfect. No two trees are ever alike. Just keep branching until you get whatever looks right to you. Note: 1) As the branches branches out, the thickness of the branches with becom thinner. 2) Trees will always tend to grow towards the sunlight. Hence, in most cases, the branched of the trees will usually branch out towards the sunlight.
The Leaves
Note: The leaves for big trees usually grow in lumps. However, this is also subjected to the characteristics of the trees eg. a different method must be adopted while drawing a coconut tree. Add the lumps in wherever logical and make sure that each lump is supported by the structure of the trees.
Other Tips
If you are painting a tree, you have to consider the nature of a tree. It grows and shapes itself in such a way as to take good advantage of available light, and it's roots go to where there is the most water and nutrients. Every species of tree has it's own peculiarity. Some have branches that only go up, while others have branches that mostly go down. Some have branches that grow from the trunk in rings of 4, and some don't have any obvious pattern at all. If you are making foliage, try arranging the masses as primatives, and getting in some nice solid shadows, and dark masses for your outer layer of leaves to stand out against. If there is not enough shadow to start out with, there will be no depth to it when you put the leaves on, so don't go too sparingly. For the bark, use a good stiff brush, and lots of gray, with just a touch of brown and some green, maybe some fungus growing off the trunk for added interest. Bark patterns are quite varied, so just have a look at some. You might try adding some ring noise for certain types of bark. Remember that atree holds the soil around it, so sometimes they have the appearance that they are on a mound, and every once in awhile, you might make a tree growing out of the stump of another tree.
