This tutorial isn't really a tutorial on trees, but it breaks down impressive graphics in to fundamental parts, so it should be of interest. Tsugumo, chapter 5.
The guy was just trying to help the original poster. There were examples posted earlier by me and other people and all of them used green and brown so I don't know why you were going at him for the fact that he did the same.
Anyway, both the tree you did in mmf and the other look good. . . not really pixel-art'ish but they'd fit in a certain type of game.
Yes, those "trees" are good...however, please stay on topic. Adam probably may not be able to draw...but he'd be able to create a program that'd do it for him. On the other hand, i haven't done any work on it since i last posted. Took a stupid nap today too. I would like to see stuff other people do though. That'd be kinda neat to see.
(Note to self, keep track of posts.)
(BTW, i do have tsugomus stuff on my pc. I think every spriter does.)

yeah it is kind of bright isnt it. tree leaves are generally darker. also the spheres near the bottom of the tree should be generally a darker shade than the top. light isnt hitting every sphere with the same intensity or even in the same spot. shade the spheres then shade the tree as a whole.
the best way u will learn how to make trees is to take a pencil and draw it on paper. Use a reference, a picture or go out in a park or something. And draw it all by hand. U should use more shadows.
What program r u using to draw the tree? Do u use a mouse?
@don: How do you think i know how to sprite at all???
@cecil: Yea i know, I think i'm still playing around with the style a bit.
Yes, i know its bright, i know it needs more shading. I just haven't gotten to it yet. I'm not trying to be mean here, sorry. I just get irritated when people don't think you know obvious stuff...(even though it may take you a while to get it right.)
I have something to work on the contrast thing. I'll probably post another one by wed or something. Hopefully the final tree.

i've just bout given up on this dang project. I don't mean to offend anyone. It's just that i draw slightly well on paper and i suck at spriting. Sorry to cause problems for anyone. I'm gonna delete this post in day or so.
Again, thanks for trying to help. And i'm sorry if i offended anyone.

Perhaps tone down/desaturate the greens and yellows a little?
