One of the biggest difficulties i used to have which i wanted to learn from actual good pixel artists was how to pick what to highlight in pixel art compared to real life. It's not about drawing 1:1 rather giving feel of it, with ashvattha tree it seems i am getting there.

A generic idea ig for me was,

draw a color fill of sorts first roughly

increase the details

have some rough outline of sorts over them

then include specific details which are clearly conveying the elements of the asvattha tree

When drawing focus on color shades, outlines of those specific elements.

This art is nowhere to be final or complete,

need to improve jaggies

need to improve shades

need to improve the outline and have colored outline for the tree

animation

Let's see.
