🌳 How to draw a tree

A tree thrives on the contrast between a narrow trunk and a large, round crown – this proportion makes it unmistakable.

Step by step

  1. Draw a narrow, vertical trunk (two parallel lines).
  2. Put a large, round or cloud-like crown above it.
  3. Widen the trunk slightly at the bottom into two small roots.
  4. Optional: a few branches merging into the crown.

Tips for high recognition rates

Why these features matter is explained on the About the AI page: the neural network looks at the typical shape, not at clean lines.

Common mistake

Making trunk and crown the same width – the typical tree silhouette is lost. The crown should clearly overshadow the trunk.
