Farm lesson 16: oak tree
The oak in the top right corner, 26 by 32 pixels: a round crown made of leaf clusters on a trunk with roots.
This sprite is wide. It's easier to draw on a computer, or with your phone turned sideways.
Step 1
This step also removes a few pixels. Use the eraser where the guide fades a pixel out.
