As I always remind people: when you’re making Bonsai it’s the trunk which is most important because in Bonsai we are trying to create tree like images and trees have trunks shrubs do not have trunks.
So as soon as you start showing the trunk it begins to look tree, like so. I will concentrate on this side which is a front and keep showing the trunk as much as possible.
The trunk is the strong center of any tree.
Bonsai is editing a plant into a tree.
