4. Tree Drawing Guidelines

• Canvas Size: Your tree should always fit within a 480×480 pixel square.
• No Grass Grid Needed: You do not need to draw an isometric grass grid. Just draw the tree itself.
• Simple is Best: Focus on the tree. No need for extra backgrounds or decorations.

For inspiration and examples, check the lit_tree folder in this repository.
