Following the tips in How to draw when you don't have time by Javi can draw!, I have been drawing trees. The video is 6.5 minutes long so it's easy to fit in. From the video:

Your main goal is to create a habit of drawing for drawing's sake.

Here are some of my trees:

Or in the little icon collection I've been building: trees.

I think my favourite simple tree is this one. I like the way it gives me a little bit of a feeling of leaves being in front or behind, and it looks like something I can get the hang of drawing quickly.

My favourite tree drawn from life is this one. I can think about where I was sitting when I drew it.

It's hard to pick my favourite from a tutorial or a reference photo. Maybe this one. I like the way it has light and dark.

A+ drew a tree too.
