Drop down and give me 9000! Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 426	I really like this, I suggest making the trunk a little bit wider and just touch it up a little bit:). How long does it take to learn how to shade things from scratch? I don't fully understand how it works, I could sprite with just single colours, I try to shade but usually I seem to pillow shade $:-\$ . I lack detail when colouring my sprites, which is why I rarely ever attempt making them. But your tree is looking rather superb, I like it how you worked on one part at a time, that way we can see how things are done , a rather great job if I say so. Logged

Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 917	It looks great. My only thing though is that the trunk looks so detailed that the top part of the tree actaully looks flat, also because of how light the tree is in comparison to how dark and bold the trunk is. Also, the leaves on the bottom seem kind of awkward... The shading though is incredible. Logged

not too bad.
I took a swing at the lineart, which to be honest I think still needs a bit of cleaning up, you've got a few awkward lines working together on the trunk and, some just very odd foliage.

so I didn't change the lineart, and the closer to the top the less finished it gets.

I couldn't really come up with a cohesive way to shade the body because of the lines.

anywho, my advice is to clean up the lines a bit, scrap all the pillow shading and try to use your palette as much as possible

Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 4062	I think the "brown on the green" is a way of shading and softening the lines, with brown being used to have colours that are within the palette you used. The "green on the brown" is kinda like... dosh on a tree, I guess? Though it looks kinda weird. But .TakaM gave a good suggestion for the shading to have it look more like a pine/fir tree, it now looks like a roof-shaped branch rather than a round cone. .TakaM's version is more of an improvement than a fixing, though. What you had was good too. I guess going for an unconstant and more natural shape of the tree is a good and maybe even necessary idea. Logged
