Try to make sure to angle the very tips of the branches up! I like that you created a pretty even angle of drop with the branches.

When I wire trees, I try to think about why they look like they do in a natural setting. Sometimes that’s branches draped with snow and weighted down like you see with a lot of spruces. Sometimes it’s branches reaching for sunlight.
When I evaluate a design, I think about things like that. You have some branches at the top that go sharply up and then down. Ask yourself why. In about of those cases, you want to cut the top branches back much shorter and bring the whole branch down from the trunk line.
It’s a decent start. But always remember to wire with intention. Try sketching out what you want your tree to look like once you see the internal structure you have to work with.

Lookin good! I’d encourage you to work with some critters besides DAS
