learning from Resonant Tale

I am learning about 1-bit pixel art by making a close reading of the treasure map shared by the makers of Resonant Tale for Playdate. In the manner of studying masterworks of painting by trying to copy them, I am copying the map into 8x8 pixel frames. My tool of choice is SpriteSomething. For the trees I worked directly in Bitsy. I notice immediately a difference in heaviness in their forest from my first attempts. Also, I feel intimidated by their 16x8 treetops.
