May I ask the steps you went through to make the the foliage textures?
Foliage_Leaves_01_Orange_1 and so on. I would like to learn how to make these.

Sure! The workflow is basically the same for all the textures.
For the foliage texture, I found some good reference for the colour palette and composition. I blocked out the key shapes using simple line art, I didn’t worry about small details at this stage I was just focused on getting the overall look right and making sure it tiled well. Using the line art as a guide, I then blocked out the colours (essentially colouring in the line art). I used masks on Solid Colour adjustment layers for all of this so I can easily edit them or make variations later. After that, I added detail with more Solid Colour layers and Multiply and Screen layers for shadows and highlights.
I’ve added the Foliage_Leaves 01 PSD source file to the free PSD Demo if you want to take a closer look at how it was created. I’ve also included Wood Planks 03, which uses a similar workflow.
Hope this helps!
No problem! Thanks for the support!
Yea pretty much, I drew just the outlines for the leaves until I was happy with the tiling then coloured in the leaves, then shaded and added detail to them. For the colour palette I sampled it from a reference image I found online. It does take a while to do but the results are nice.
Thanks for the elaboration, I want to learn how things like this are done so ultimately I can just recreate these sprites and textures in my own style. These textures are amazing and there is quite a lot for me to learn from with them, do you know of any good Aseprite plugins / brushes? Its my main and only tool I use for pixel art.
