Farm lesson 15: pine trees
The farm is framed by pine trees in two sizes: a tall one, 14 by 24, and a small one, 12 by 18.
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.

Why it looks this way
The zigzag edge of a crown has no grass holes inside it. Fill any gap that reads as a hole.
