Ok I have been making a game recently and took a little time out to try and brush up on my pixel art(no pun intended), as I have not seriously applied this ability in quite some time. I went through a few tutorials to refresh my knowledge of the basics(and learned a few new things :D), looked at a couple of samples of trees then gave a tree a go.

Here is the outcome:

It is by no means perfect, but is the best I could do(I have never had much of a talent for foliage), please tell me what you think and try to keep the criticism constructive.

Kumorii	Looks far better than anything me or half of the BYOND community could do. However, you should try to do something about the negative space on the foliage part of the tree. That's the only thing that takes from it right now. (:

CauTi0N	I love the style, but I guess I just disagree with the way the leaves are pointing. I've just never seen a tree with leaves that had such a circular motion going outwards.

Aniste	It looks okay. Looks as if it could be incorporated into an anime game. Oh and it looks more like a round bush than a tree

Vrocaan	It looks like a fine hat for Mr. Wonka.

GreatFisher	@CauTi0N: Thanks and yeh I felt a little awkward drawing the leaves like that, I'll change the style next time to make the top the start.(i was working from the view piont outward, that's what the tutorial said to do). @Aniste: Err I'll take that as a compliment, and I guess the trunk could be a little bigger. @Vorcaan: What ever you say kind sir :).

GreatFisher	What exactly is wrong with you people, are your lives so miserable that you can find nothing better to do than show up and troll random people.

Enzuigiri	This tree is looks hella pillow shaded. Even the leaves look pillow shaded and are pointed in each cardinal direction which isn't realistic at all. Your shadow looks ugly and unrealistic as well. Cubanbling wrote: Start all over.

EmpirezTeam	I think you tried too hard to make it detailed. It would have looked better if you didn't have all those leaves in the center and just left that part plain. Also, like Enzui said, the shadow looks bad as well.
