How to Draw Pixel Art Bush in Games (Step-by-Step Tutorial)

Hana here! In this video, I'll be taking you on a creative journey to design your very own Bush Sprites. From Side-Scroller bushes to Top Down Bushes, we'll cover it all step by step. #bush #pixelart #howto #game
Most of these bushes will be in a medium size (48x32).
Unfortunately, we won't be covering color palette in this tutorial since this video mainly focuses on creating game-compatible-looking bush sprites. But you can sample the color palette and how I create the color palette in the comment section.

Throughout the tutorial, I'll share valuable tips and tricks to make your Bush Sprites stand out. Learn how to master shading techniques, where to place highlights and shadows, and even how to create pixel art curves for that perfect touch.

Whether you're new to pixel art or looking to improve your skills, this tutorial has something for everyone. So sit back, relax, and let's dive into the wonderful world of Bush Tiles!
