Well, the tree I drew and colored, that was colored pencil. The other one was just one of those game-type things people create where you can change the attributes... I don't even know what they're called. I should probably get rid of that one.

You did a good job on the tree both with the lines and the colors, don't be afraid to stretch your talent out. Many folks wish they could draw half as good as you do and some with half the talent you do think they can. The following is a link to another artist like you who doesn't think they're very good... [link] She just finished a 4 yr bachelors degree in fine arts illustration and still thinks her work isn't very good. I can only think the reason is she thinks everyone is an elite art professor who knows every possible flaw of every form of art and that's all they'll see. For most of us, like myself, who don't have talents in the visual arts it's astounding and I couldn't tell you what's wrong with it, it looks great and truthfully that's all that matters. You have talent, practice, improve and post it, you may one day find you are that fine artist didn't think you'd ever be.
