THIS IS GENIUS. ive been avoiding digital art lately due to excessive back pain and wrist strain....no duh its the keyboard shortcuts!
I use 8bitdo pro controllers for gaming, but never did i think to use the mini as a shortcut tool! This is so cool, gonna buy one and update my setup
I ORDERED IT🎉🎉! this is gonna make drawing on my new tablet so much easier 🥹🙏🙏🙏 ive always had difficulty with shortcuts
aa i hope it helps with smoothing out your process! it definitely helped me hehe
I saw someone else use one as a shortcut device and that gave me the idea... to use my VR Bluetooth remote as a shortcut remote. 2 triggers, one analog, and 4 actual buttons to shortcut to. Other two are just power and function. It works very well besides having to repairing it from scratch when I want to use it. It's pretty much like the Clip Studio Tab device, but VERY cheaper.
I hope 8-bit do makes a remote shortcut device that competes with Clip Studio Tab and be as cheap as this little cute controller. 2 triggers please xD it's so comfy as Undo and redo mapping.
P.s.- cook art. Subscribed.
the VR controllers do seem perfect for this type of thing! they are meant to be held in a way that feels just right for digital art! might have to look into that myself hehe
I'm sold. I don't have a huge setup area and having my keyboard out can be clunky so I like this. Can't believe I never thought about it. Thanks for the video!
i knowww!! my keyboard is beautiful yes, but its way too clunky and just gets in the way when drawing >:c
I do this with a PS4 controller. It's nice cause in Steam you can assign the analog stick rotation to do something. So I set the left analog stick to increase brush size when I rotate it clockwise (counter-clockwise to decrease brush size). I only have access to the left side of the gamepad, but I find that enough, cause you can set the shoulder buttons to become modifiers. I set my d-pad to my most used brush presets and eraser, but if I hold the left trigger then press d-pad, that's an entirely different set of actions.
I like using a controller in this situation cause they're just more ergonomic compared to wacom express keys or whatever else there is.
omg thats amazing :0 i wonder if in steam you can do that with joycons too... the rotation movement sounds so useful! and yes, about gaming controllers being way more ergonomic!!
Genius. I’ve been thinking about getting the bigger one for a while now to have on the go when I want to play with friends. But I think this what made me really want one! I’ll probably get that one now! Thanks!
"[...] specially in Brazil" eu buguei tanto, não sabia ou lembrava que você era brasileira
Sua arte é linda demais!
And that means she is also latinoamerican 🎉, i'm so happy of seeing such a great latino artist and Brazilians are such lovely people ❤, grettings from Chile 😊
@@pamelavergara3771 Thankies!
People from Chile I talked to are very sweet too btw! 💙
Eu reagi do msm jeito kkkkkkkk
tutupom
letsgooooo!!
I've actually been using the Zero 2 from 8bitdo forever for the same reason (I got it before the mini came out). Obviously there are pros and cons between the two, but the main two are the shape and the R2 and L2 buttons. (It's also $5 cheaper, but that's not that much of a difference.) I always found the contour of the Zero 2 perfect for resting in the palm of my hand. And the two additional buttons I can't see myself using too much because they'd be too small, the main way I hit the LB is by pushing the controller into my palm.
That's the main difference I noticed between how I hold it and how you hold your controller. You hold it with the bumpers facing away from your palm, and hold it with your thumb resting on the bottom buttons. I tend to grip it in its entirety with my thumb resting on the top buttons, it's generally more secure in my grip and my arm tends to rest not needing to hold the controller straight. Ultimately a matter of preference, but it's cool to see more people picking up a controller to use for macros.
JOYTOKEY, just in case you all are wondering the app she uses to conect her controller to the drawing app. you´re wellcome.
thank you!!
Just wanted to say I grabbed the micro. There is a keyboard mode using the switch on the bottom and the 8bitdo program software saves to the device you only need it for the initial mapping. It also supports multiple key inputs to single button so you shouldn't need joy to key. Might simplify the set up a bit!
How couldn't i ever though of that!?!? I struggle with keyboard shortcuts A LOT! That'll be really helpful, thanks waes
I've always considered getting a shortcut device but there's so many that are just oddly expensive. I didn't consider I could use a game controller as one. WAAAAAAAY cheaper and fits in much better with my vibe!
I love this thing. I've been using the company for years cause of my disability which is physical this controller helped me out so much. So anybody who wants to buy it I say do it! It's worth it
Two videos in the same MONTH!?! UNHEARD OF! But seriously love your art😭🙏
can u see im trying :,) doin my best!! thank u for watching
What an interesting concept! I might give this method a try once I get one for myself!
This piece and vibe of it really reminds me of Skullgirls and Soul Eater, great work! :)
then i got my references right!! love both
Love the artwork. Gives very Kingdom Hearts/Twewy vibes! This is a super creative use for that little controller. I know Linus Tech tips for years has been using one as a remote for his teleprompter lol.
If you're looking for a digital art specific controller I'd recommend looking into XP-Pen mini keydial and the Xence labs quick keys. Both are options of little programmable macro pads that are small enough to be easy to be handheld. I also personally have a Huion KD-100 which has done wonders for me
ayy thank youu!! im actually working for an indie game right now and one of their main references is twewy, so maybe that's showing in my personal work too? hehe
@@milkywaes nice! I'm running an indie game team currently. We're getting close to releasing a demo and trying to figure out funding. I hope things go well for your team!
Oh I came here looking for a review f the controller and found your art! and you're from brasil! hahaha so great~
Thanks for the review
Love the idea! Kinda wish u had a second cam that showed u using the controller at the same time
i thought of that too, but since i can only film one thing at a time, i decided to prioritize the screen recording :,)
Love the art, and definitely will be getting that remote haha. I was wondering how to colors on the huion tablet is? I've been using my iPad as a replacement but would love to have a bigger screen, as well as having accurate colors hah.
Alô, Brasil 💛
Tua arte é linda demais! Obrigado pela dica 💫
It looks so cute… I really want one just because it’s adorable. Wish they had one in pink
same!! i was thinking how cute one in yellow would be :3 or with colored buttons? pastel yellow, pink and blue? ;u;
Such a magical solution and super cute! Do you think a split mechanical keyboard would be helpful for you?
I always forget how crispy your art is! (what brush do you use sorry its probably a question you get alot )
hehe its oki! its this one assets.clip-studio.com/ja-jp/detail?id=1972567
What do you do to prevent the controller from going into sleep mode? Every time I want to use a shortcut; i first have to turn the controller on... It's not ideal. How do I fix this? I've used both 'sleep' options in the app, but none fix this problem.
AH the 8bitDo mini reminds me of the tourbox neo, but much smaller and easier to hold!! I wish it had a dial thingy though (at least for the artist version if they made one for specifically artists) since I find changing the brush size is easier with a dial/twisty thing haha!
ALSO I adore the line-art on this piece, its so organic!! If it's ok, do you have the clip studio code for that brush??
yee im waiting for their artist specific controller too :,) and the brush im using is this one: assets.clip-studio.com/ja-jp/detail?id=1972567
@@milkywaes AHH THANK YOU!! also yes omg, the tourbox neo is really nice but I always have it on my desk and not my lap! (It's heavy too, but still ery good and has tons of different types of keys and slidey twisty things, I do recommend it!)
Can you use it for procreate and adobe
Gosto muito da sua arte!! E gostei muito da line art também, qual brush você usou pra fazer essa line em especifico?
loooove it when u post
omg.. thank u :,,0
Its funny because I use Joy2key to map my Xbox Series Controller and only use the half of the controller. I could try to buy this in the future just for the size.
So idk if anyone has an answer but mine is a little funky. I think is can work but it has two weird issues that keep me from using it. 1) a button (usually the d-pad) seems to get stuck keep pressing. Now the button itself isn't staying down, it just registers like it is staying down when it's not. 2) seems to turn itself off. Not sure why this happens. I use windows 10 for my drawing and games. Does anyone know a way to fix it. I've tried updating and uninstalling and reinstalling
Absolute great Idea to use gamepads for shortcuts, I wish they had 1 Joystick tho, since I am looking for the ability to pan around my canvas.
i knoww, they do have other models for mini controllers like the one in this video, with analog sticks, but i didnt get to try them out so cant guarantee anything :,) it looks like it would work though, because i was able to use my joycons analog sticks just fine! but maybe not with joytokey, i cant seem to get it to work like a camera pan, only up, down, left and right, even with analog sticks :/
Que brush é esse que vc usa pra lineart?
Thats some Incredible art! The pose really fits well with the overall character design!
May I ask what brush you used for the inking process?

I love it! I don't know that is possible. thank you
Can I ask you something, does 8bitdo mini can use for painting in CSP on pc?
Even better. You can use midi instruments to map your keyboard shortcuts on.
Please answer someone if know... This can use it for gaming on iPad air 5th gen???
I love your art and really enjoy your process videos! I was wondering what brushes on csp you use? :)
hehe thank you! in this video specifically, i used this brush assets.clip-studio.com/ja-jp/detail?id=1972567
@@milkywaes ty so much! ♡
I saw a Interview video of a manga artist, and he was using something like a wii joystick controller to move the canvas and all. I always wonder what device was

Você tem alguma recomendação de mesa pra iniciante?
kfgjhkdjfg oiee! mano, eu gosto muito das mesas da huion! a minha mesa antes dessa era da huion, e tem preços bem legais :3 a xp pen tb eu gostava bastante, usava ate receber a outra da huion hehe! tenho review de todas elas, caso queira assistir :3
OMG, need that lineart brush!!!!
Heyo!! it's this one: assets.clip-studio.com/ja-jp/detail?id=1972567
Does this work with IPAD? Like procreate.?
Ooh what pen did you use for the line art? Also did I see correctly that it has a bit of transparency to it?
heyo! the brush i use is this one: assets.clip-studio.com/ja-jp/detail?id=1972567 ! i love it for lineart in my style, i think it fits the vibe so well! and it had no transparency actually, just pitch black hehe
So sorry if you get asked this a lot but what's that inking brush? I'd love to get that from ya if possible! 🙏
heyo!! its this one: assets.clip-studio.com/ja-jp/detail?id=1972567
You could always contact someone with a 3d printer and get them to whip up a grip for this hand position! Great idea tho.
my coloring is great i guess i have to learn anatomy if i want to draw like that
Thats pretty kewl
You're a genius! Thanks for sharing
kjgdkgf nooo im just passing on knowledge i got from other people :,)
amazing ❤👍😍
BRAZIL MENTIONEDDDD MDS DEI UM GRITO QUANDO VC FALOU BRASIL ASDHAKSUDHASDUASLD como criadora de conteúdo q tbm fala em inglês na internet é uma surpresa muito boa
aw man, that loooks so good, too bad the shipping is like 15+ euros for france;;
Ja vi gente usando teclado numerico desses wi fi. Seria bom pra mim que ainda nao tenho uma pen display, ja que usar o teclado do notebook é bem ruim.
If you use this and press up up down down left right left right B A, it will improve your art immediately.
dont tell them the secret!!!!
hey milky, which brush did you use in this video?
heyo! its this one right here: assets.clip-studio.com/ja-jp/detail?id=1972567
@@milkywaesthank you kindly
This work with ipad?
I wonder the same. Would be amazing if it did.
As keyboard keys yes. I can test things if you'd like.
it does! you just have to enable keyboard on the ipad, and map out the shortcuts you want on peocreate! then theres the 8bitdo app to map out the commands on the controller itself ! its a bit of work, but not too complicated, it seems 👍
what ink brush are you using?
heyo! its this one: assets.clip-studio.com/ja-jp/detail?id=1972567

I’ve never even thought about using that little guy for drawing 😭
tocho cada que a gata é br aaaaaaa
this one is not compatible with apple software :((((
Oooooi saudades dos seus vídeos
aa obrigada :,,))))
Nothing better than the Sony PS3 Navigation Controller
I'm kinda surprised you don't have clip studio's tabmate... oh well, whatever works...
rip its really expensive if i were to buy it because of currency rates, and they never sent it to me, so :/ i just make do with what i have
I use a nintendo joycon for my hotkeys and I can never go back!
preach!
what brush did you use for this illustration?
WHAT IS THAT CHARGING CABLE!!!?? 😂😂
OMG r u Brazilian 😭
24.99 not bad ngl
I clicked the Amazon link to look at the item and came back to the video right as you were drawing sum booty. 😳That was unexpected lol.
never do not expect booty from me, a certified booty lover
I almost ordered it and then I remembered my husband bought me the Clip Studio tab mate thing. It’s still in the package 🫣🤭😂
KFJGKFGD OMGG tbh i never heard of that thing until today, and it does look ergonomic at least, which is my biggest pet peeve with other controllers? so try it out and tell us how it is hehe
