You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
In this how to draw a bush tutorial, we will draw a bush with lots of different leaves on it.
This will help give the bush more volume and will make the image more interesting to look at.
Looking at the final image we’re aiming for, it looks like it’s going to be complicated to draw all these leaves, but that’s why we’ve broken it down into smaller steps.
To draw these leaves, we will use some curved lines for their outline. In these curved leaves there will be obvious indentations to give each leaf a rough look.
The leaves that we are drawing in this step are quite large and they will also have some ridge detail on them, as shown in the reference image.
Step 2
Next, draw some more leaves for the bush
We drew the first leaf for this bush drawing in the previous step, and in the next step we will draw some more leaves for the center area.
We’ll use a similar method you used for the previous leaves you drew to create these new ones, except they’ll be a bit thinner.
The former ones bow down a bit, but these will stick straight up into the air.
Otherwise they will have the same type of outline with the same details as the final ones. Once these leaves are drawn, you’re ready for the next step!
Step 3
Draw some smaller leaves for the bush
So far in this how to draw a bush tutorial, we have mainly drawn some rather large leaves for it. In this step, we’ll draw some smaller shapes instead.
These leaves will form the base of the bush, and they will be drawn with a number of circles culminating in spikes at the top.
The borders of these smaller leaves will be a lot smoother than the larger leaves and we won’t put obvious dents in them.
There will still be a gap on the right side of the base, but we’ll be filling that gap soon!
Step 4
Now draw some more leaves
Now we are starting to finish the final steps of your bush drawing! In this fourth part of the tutorial, we will be adding leaves to both the larger top as well as the smaller ones at the base.
In doing this, we’ll add a full leaf to the top with the start of some more outlines which we’ll finish in the next step.
Then we’ll finish off the base of the leaves by drawing another cluster of leaves to the right of the ones you drew.
Once these leaves have been drawn, we’re ready to finalize the final leaves and details in the next section.
Step 5
Add some final detail to your bush drawing
You are now ready to finalize the picture before coloring the final step of our bush drawing tutorial.
To do this, we will draw a few more large leaves that you have created for the upper part of the bush.
Once these final leaves are drawn and detailed, you’ll be ready to add some details and strokes of your own before moving on!
There are many things you can do to take this drawing further, and backgrounding it would be a great idea.
If you’ve painted the background, you can create a lovely garden setting and add some flowers, plants, and maybe even small animals like rabbits.
This is just one of the many approaches you can take, and you should make sure to have fun creating the perfect scene for your artwork!
Step 6
Complete your bush drawing with some color
For the final step of the bush drawing, you’ll finish it off with some amazing colors. As you can imagine for a bush, we used a lot of green in our reference image.
