I'm not an artist, at all. Stick figures are my zone, but watching how you did the layers lines and coloring made me feel like I could make something like this. Yay
Thanks! I learned a lot watching you make emotes on stream as well. I was surprised at how well you got a lot of details to read and it pushed me to grow. :)
This is an amazing tutorial! I've been doing digital art for almost 20 years, and I just wanted a quick reference for setting up the file sizes. I ended up watching the whole video even after I got what I came for, and all your basic advice and tips are fantastic for beginners and pros alike. Quick and to the point with some great tips thrown in. A+ video, dude!
This was a simple and extremely useful video - thank you so much! I've been meaning to create some custom emotes for my stream and have been putting it off not knowing where to start. Spent some time creating them today, and I couldn't have done it without you!
WHY WAS THIS IN MY RECOMMENDATIONS? This is amazing! 😍Love this tutorial & I would totally get these emotes even if I don't stream on Twitch haha. They are so cute & awesome.
This is the very first video I decided to watch to learn about creating an emote and it actually seems doable and not so intimidating. Thank you for the great tips!
This is super helpful! I've been curious to make some emotes for friends and this gave me some things to think about I hadn't considered before. Really appreciate your insight! :D
Thanks a ton my dude you really helped me out with the emotes a friend of a friend of mine wanted me to make especially the part with making the outlines not black
Thank you very much for this video. I see it is 9 months ago - and i definitely wonder. Wondering about the rarity of videos you make, tbh. You have an amazing voice AND tonation! You explain with fun, selfconfidence and enthusiasm - and this is what one can hear in your voice. In addition you make breaks at the right time. To actually say, what i want to say: do your vids further, pls. You are a great teacher - besides your art ;) PS: Yes, there are many other tutorial vids out there. Most of them have good content - but its not only the content which matters; it matters how the content is transported as well. And this point... Most of the most vids just dont fulfill.
this video is so useful and i love it! i was a little insecure abt starting to make twitch emotes but after this video i am more confident! thank you so much! :) 💚
Something I like to do instead of having to zoom in and out to see how it looks at the different resolutions... Create a new window at each of the sizes the icon will be shown in (in photoshop, this would be window > arrange > new window for.... and then just zoom to the right size), then have these alongside the window I'm actually drawing in.
Best thing about being an artist and a gamer. Thanks for the tips I just recently got affiliated and needed help with ideas for my emotes I'm allowed to have!
Duuudee, Look at you all professional and stuff :D I didn't know you have a yt, but I'm glad to see you're doing well and I hope to catch some of your streams again! Thank you for the great tips as well!
Holy shit thank you that lock layer tip is clutch!! I can't believe I didn't know that all this time! So much time wasted but I'm ready to gain it back now! Thank you!
Literally amazing tutorial! and such a great run through on how you work, it's so honest and cool, as soon as i need some serious emotes, you better believe i'll be shooting you some work on fiverr or how ever, Thanks for the awesome help!
THANK YOU FOR THIS. I've been using GIMP for my twitch overlays and trying to figure out how to do emotes. Gonna try out Krita cause it looks closer to photoshop than GIMP (I'm used to photoshop but no longer a college student so photoshop is no longer affordable :'D ) Hopefully I can get some emotes ready for when I get affiliate status with this info!
Very Nice tutorial! When I watch you sketch, are you using some sort of digital pad to draw on? I cannot move the mouse that precisely. I am new to digital and would like to try this out. Thanks for the video
thanks so much for this video! I can draw well, but emotes have always been intimidating to me for some reason. This gave me a road map, now I can start making and selling them!
I’m not sure if someone already asked this but when you’re done with the emotes (and it’s a commission) how do you make sure the background doesn’t turn white when you send it? I use Procreate and even tho I save the file without background, the background still appears when I send it through gmail! Is it because of the file size or just gmail itself?
I don't know if you still need an answer, but if you save it as a transparent png, even if it shows a white bg in other places it'll still be transparent - it's just all sites seem to automatically show a white background for transparent pics, that doesn't mean it actually has one.
@@hamsterquackers I still needed an answer tysm! I’ve been planning to get back on doing emotes since I’m done with college for a while. Tysm again!!! 🥺💖
Hey do you have any tutorials on how to learn to draw on a mouse? I have no experience on drawing on paper or mouse and am frankly bad at it. I want to learn how to draw and don't know where to start. I completely got lost when you actually started drawing lol
Mad Media Gaming Hey! So I create mine at 500x500 at 72 dpi on ProCreate then send the designs to Photoshop and re-size them there. I do this because ProCreate destroys the quality whereas Photoshop retains it really well 😊
I have been getting into drawing recently and I found your video very helpful. I do have one question, why not 300dpi? Is there a major difference between 72 and 300 when it comes to the emote quality or file size?
Glad it was helpful! So 300 DPI is really only necessary for print. The final file sizes have to be in 72 DPI for web. If you plan to print your emotes at a large size you *could* make them 300 DPI, but the problem is the file is *much* larger and you have a lot more pixels to work with. In my experience it takes much longer to draw something accurate at those dimensions and there's room for so much more detail, which ends up getting lost or looking muddy when you resize it to 72 DPI for the web. It's just a personal preference though. You can do whatever you feel most comfortable with.
Also, another thing that in my opinion makes it easier with skintones. Play around with the shading a bit, sometimes it looks really pale and gross. But the second you add a bit of shading it just evens right out. Looks like a different color alltogether
I'm not an artist, at all. Stick figures are my zone, but watching how you did the layers lines and coloring made me feel like I could make something like this. Yay
I feel like that all the time the end up making sticks again lol it takes practice
Step one
Learn how to draw
Hahah unfortunately yes that's a HUGE first step!
I was like.. how is he sketching that so good.. oh artistic talent.. something I lack!
Or learn how to photoshop/edit pictures very well😜😂
yeah i cant draw and i spent 3 hours working on one and it sucked so yeah
Step two
Have a lot of imagination
Omg, this is so helpful! Emotes have felt intimidating, and now I want to try making my own
Awesome! I need you to make a cool gator emote lmao
Fantastic explanation, even gave me some things to think about with my own emote work
Thanks! I learned a lot watching you make emotes on stream as well. I was surprised at how well you got a lot of details to read and it pushed me to grow. :)

Same
Except for the 20 yrs part I've only been doing digital art for a year
This was a simple and extremely useful video - thank you so much! I've been meaning to create some custom emotes for my stream and have been putting it off not knowing where to start. Spent some time creating them today, and I couldn't have done it without you!
TH-cam needs a feature where we can redirect old videos to new ones. It would be great for tutorials like this.
Yes, I agree! There are so many tutorials for versions of software that's like 5+ years old. It would be great to have that option.
I just got my first commission for sub emotes and you have saved my butt tysm
sameee
How much would I ask for emotes commission?? Its a channel of aprox 70 viewers UwU
this is so helpful, thank you!! i also appreciate the transparency w the ad, u feel like a very genuine creator!! your emotes are adorable!!

WHY WAS THIS IN MY RECOMMENDATIONS? This is amazing! 😍Love this tutorial & I would totally get these emotes even if I don't stream on Twitch haha. They are so cute & awesome.

Do you have a video explaining how to work with layers to color and all? It would be quite helpful.
Amazimg tipss!!! Do you have any recommendation regarding the brush size for the lines ?
I like to draw and color in photoshop and do the lines in illustrator
Gonna save this vid to make my own on Photoshop awesome video
Very helpful tutorial. Appreciate that you emphasize how to work to maintain readability when your artwork is reduced.
Great video Jacey, thanks for the pro-tips!
Best thing about being an artist and a gamer. Thanks for the tips I just recently got affiliated and needed help with ideas for my emotes I'm allowed to have!

So helpful! Been putting off my emotes for about two months, but this was an awesome explanation! Thank you!!

Thanks for this video! Excited to start designing my own twitch emotes! 😁
thanks so much for this video! I can draw well, but emotes have always been intimidating to me for some reason. This gave me a road map, now I can start making and selling them!
Thank u so much this is really a helpful and great video plus ur art is so beautiful 🤩!
Drew for the first time in 10+ years and made my first emote! Thanks for the tips :D
Nice tutorial, very helpful. Do we have to get approved emotes form" twitch" before give images to clients?
I'm also an artist and I thought you did a great job with this video! I put it in my discord under Tip, Tricks & Tutorial.
im getting into art what is the best way to get in and potentially sell and where should i begin and what is the best way to learn and from where?
Very helpful! Thanks!!

@@hamsterquackers thanks! I was curious too
This makes it so so so much easier thank u so much 💕
💙💙💙
Thank you so much! This is hands down the best guide out there!
Thanks! That means so much to me!
Thank you so much for this. Just learning how to use these programs and making my own emotes for the first time! I hope they come out good!
Good luck!
@@JaceyChase thank you! They actually just got approved!!! 😭
Super helpful in my research. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing this! I'm looking forward to dabble with emotes...should be alot of fun! Daunting, but fun
Hey do you have any tutorials on how to learn to draw on a mouse? I have no experience on drawing on paper or mouse and am frankly bad at it. I want to learn how to draw and don't know where to start. I completely got lost when you actually started drawing lol
Hey Jacey! Could you help me with some pencil brush settings? I tried my best to copy all your brush settings but I think I may be missing something.
Is there any possibility to get/buy your brush pack?
When you do them at 500x500 at ppi 72 how do you export it to the sizes for twitch uses for emotes i use krita for my art hope this makes sense
I would love to know this too!
Mad Media Gaming Hey!
So I create mine at 500x500 at 72 dpi on ProCreate then send the designs to Photoshop and re-size them there.
I do this because ProCreate destroys the quality whereas Photoshop retains it really well 😊
I like your art style
SO helpful! Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you for the video! It was really helpfull!
Love this video! Thabk you!
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Awesome. Super helpful!
Can I use an IPad to design an emote?
yes you can
Youre amazing at this !
Great vid :) been so long since i opened photoshop, kinda missing it
I do think this is super helpful, tho what color should the out lines be or would any color be ok ?
Thank you Yuki! I usually make the lines a darker version of the color of the part they're outlining.
Im sorry if this is a dumb question, but what did you use to show all the sizes of your emotes like you did at 10:02? 😊
Oh I just made a 1280x720 image and put all of the sizes next to each other.
Jacey Chase Ahh thank you 😂 I had a go with some last night (before I saw your comment) and the smaller ones were so damn blurry
I have been getting into drawing recently and I found your video very helpful. I do have one question, why not 300dpi? Is there a major difference between 72 and 300 when it comes to the emote quality or file size?

It's just a personal preference though. You can do whatever you feel most comfortable with.
Jacey Chase thank you for the reply. This explains it perfectly.
Thank you sooo much!
is it easier to you a mouse to draw?
THANK U, IT WAS SO USEFUL
Thank you it really helped me out

what brushes did you used for line art
hi what pad did you use and can you put the link thnx. also what app do you use and how much
This is awesome! Very useful and positive!
