So after hours of p̶a̶i̶n̶ fun I’ve made my pixelart tree. Dunno who decided to draw trees first but he was truly mad. Or had over9000 spare hours.
P.S. Take that mother nature!

@bit_aspect You can save a lot of time and possibly even get a better result by NOT drawing every single leaf ;D
When people look at trees, they rarely perceive them as a bunch of individual leaves, so why should we depict them that way? Especially when working at a small size!
The shapes the leaves make up are more important than the individual leaves, so all you really need is to suggest a leafy texture and maybe have a few leaves drawn in detail. More than that runs the risk of being noisy.
@eishiya this is the best advice I got during last montgs of self studying! Thank you very much!
@bit_aspect Feel free to ping me if you get stuck on something! I like critiquing things and doing pixel art edits/draw-overs for people :D ...instead of doing my own work.
@eishiya Hey! what do you think about my last art? I've done my best to nail it, just wanna hear some critique from more experienced artist :)
@bit_aspect You don't need to add new colours for AA, because only the values really matter. Just pick an existing colour with an appropriate value and it'll work just as well - sometimes even better, because it avoids grey-looking blended colours when AAing between opposing hues.
Sometimes, you need more than 1 pixel of AA on gentle slopes, such as on the sides of the sphere. 1px dulls the corners, but doesn't make them smooth.
(cont, I'm so sorry)
