I am a career illustrator and I wanted to see if I had the chops for pixel art. I'm OK with attempt one but am happy to get CC if you got em.

Done on Libresprite Tab S6.

All made by the human brain.

sections of strictly increasing or decreasing vertical/horizontal ratios

That's correct but I don't think there is any place where this rule has been broken except for the ㇓ section (no progression of ratios on a convex curve allows for 1:1 between long stretches of 2:1 and 1:0). And at this resolution, in-between ratios like 2:3 (alternating 1:2, 1:1) are viable, dare I say necessary? It's a kind of dithering, a technique well-known among colors but less so among shapes. Sometimes you need a slope between the two...

The right side could use some 1:3 bits like on the left and shorter 1:0 (orthogonal) and 1:1 (diagonal) sections but this is still plausible.

the back of the dimple on the apple seems a bit too open (?)

Yes. The way I would say it is that the part behind the stem ends too sharply (extend the ⠗ pink part's tip by 1-2 px to the right)
