Tree [wip]

Why wouldn't you work from the center?
From here it makes it easier to show the leaves overlapping, and slowly shrinking in size by the edge. Going from the edge would prove to be more difficult I would think

Somebody forgot that it's birds eye view, not the typical oblique graal view.

Like I said, you better not dare using the burn tool on it later!

A tool which darkens a image, the term "burn" from the photographic printing process.

It's transparent. If the forum layout waas black, it'd have a black backround. This one however will have a green backround (grass) and some shading.

Well I dunno.
It is a quick, efficient way to shade things. I'm talking about doing a few pixles at a time, not just a blob of 100 pixles and dragging it across the image that'd look terrible

The way I shaded your old tree took about 1 minute (if that's the look you're going for).
It's on the previous page.

[excaliber7388]

2 examples, one no shading, the other with shading.
What do you think?

That looks nicer

Do like Konidias said and start from the outside.

That doesn't make sence though, it would be harder to make the leaves look like they overlap then.

No, it should be easier - as you can stack them on top of one another. -_-
