It's not a bad thing, but that guide kinda SUCKS.
come on, that tree is made of cardboard leaves!
THIS is how you draw a tree.
E4r, your tree looks good, better than the tree in that sucky tutorial, but you're going a bit too far with that palette, lol! The purple on the log has too much saturation, and the lightest green is too light and too different from the 2nd lightest.
lemme try my hand at it..
here we go!
EDIT: btw, I think you used enough shades of green to achieve a WAY better tree.
try always thinking 3D, like this:
this should be a good base to start from, 'cause a real tree is not made by a huge green "ball" with one highlight, it's made of many highlighted balls, as you can see here
