For this tree I had to layer a lot of colors. It is clear that the highlight is on the right side of the tree so I made that side really light green. The middle of the tree was the darkest, but in the pixel color it came out a little blotchy because it is not 3D. Then there were two other medium shades of green used to fill in the tree. The top of the tree is lighter, and gradually adds more darkness as the tree expands downward. The stump was only a mix of 3 shades of tan. A highlight, dark shadow and medium fill color to transition between the two.
to upgrade this asset, you need to focus on the shading for color and line areas. upgrade your lines now from all black to colors of highlights and shadows based on how the lighting is in that area. to upgrade the shading areas, use all shades of green on each branch area silhouetted with a black line.
