Changing back to Front Orthographic View after Drawing the side Branches will show the

Branches disconnected from the main stem.

You can go into Edit Mode and correct the

positioning, but by relocating the 3D Cursor

It may appear that the placement of the 3D Cursor is being deliberated but it is a critical function

when Modeling in the Grease Pencil in Three Dimensions.

To continue Modeling the Tree, adding branches and sub branches, repeat the Cursor Placement

procedure keeping in mind that to connect a sub branch to a branch previously Drawn, you place

the 3D Cursor in the View in which the sub branch was Drawn.
