Abstracting a tree (sketch: Tree)

If I can’t trace the picture in my mind I should try to draw something that looks like it.

For the last few months I’ve been trying to draw objects in the way I see them in my mind. Photographic memory quality.
But that doesn’t seem to work. Probably because I don’t have the skills.
So I’ve decided to apprauch the problem from the other side. I should first learn to draw something that at least looks like a tree (and other objects). Maybe I can reach a stage where I can at least draw something that vaguely looks like the picture in my mind.

Tree abstract

In my mind this doesn’t look like a tree. Or actually it does look like a tree but not like a photograph of a tree.
