You need to darken the leaves of the palm tree a bit... It looks like a starfish! :D

[Darrel104]

made the edges of the leaves darker and the leaves darker overall but i still think it sucks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: didnt see how i needed the whole thing to be dark

A border, and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the name with the text tool, never with the pen tool.

 

 

 

1: Its easier,

 

 

 

2: You save time,

 

 

 

3: You can adjust it whenever you want.

Well, the main problem is that the trunk of the tree is too fat. Palm trees tend to be narrower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, the wall behind it really puts me off. It doesn't seem to fit the setting, and in any case, stones shouldn't be set out in perfect little neat rows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Google is your friend if you need reference pictures.

I followed all the suggestions and i think it imporoved a lot. The only thing I dont like is how the size is so small.

 

 

 

Any more tips or things you guys think is off?

Looking really good, is this your first pixel?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways the only thing I would suggest is to shade the sky. Right now you have it as a fill tool. Instead, amke it darker near the horizon and lighter near the light source (sun) which appears to be overhead.

if its ur first pixel, its better than most peoples firsts, including mine!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as with every pixel, made by any artist of any capability, there are some things that could be better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-the wall behind the palm is 2D. it seems flat, and dosnt really have much proper shading, showing shadows. there dosnt seem to be a real light source in the picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-the serrated edges to the palm tree leaves look weird IMO, id leave them as smooth edged leaves

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-the top of the wall seems a bit... 'weird' shaped.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-the sky is empty. also, its the wrong colour. the sky is less aqua coloured, and more of a blueish grey. try adding some clouds, and maybe a bird or something to fill the space, instead of just using the fill tool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but as i said, if its ur first, its still very good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this is an example of what i came up with, putting the same things into it as you did. maybe you can get some ideas off it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

edit: it appears as though my picture uploaded too dark. its not sposed to be that dark :oops:
