I started doing this tree using a tutorial, and I like how it looks so far in the first pic. However I started making leaves as you may see in the second pic, and I feel that it doesn't look as good as I'd hoped. Should I just leave it as it is in the first pic, continue adding leaves, or try a different method of adding leaves?

Also, do you guys think the tree looks good overall?

Hello,

The tree looks nice, but there a couple of things that you could do. For one, the trunk and the leaves are in different perspectives. The leaves look as if you were looking at it from the top, and the trunk looks as it if it were front of you. Also, your colors have very little contrast, don't be afraid to use red and blue for darker colored leaves!

Here is a very, very quick edit to show what I mean.

Thank you, but I didn't really intend for the leaves to have a top-down perspective, although I know why it might seem that way. That it supposed to be how it looks from the side.
