How to Make a 2D Vtuber Model

[@dorkyderpterio8649]

"Keep them in separate layers" RIP to artists that can't find that one streak of line in 100+ layers

[@Prince-uj1hq]

I’ve spent a days. Trying to find THAT one layer. I just quit.

[@asuko-san7440]

i used to be the same.

[@ILoveMenWayTooMuch]

I think i'd die even if I don't need 100 layers to make a pair of eyes

[@eomersimbajon2938]

@@Prince-uj1hq you can do it friend. a lot of us have given up, but not you, not now, not ever. you will find that one layer. you will finish your art work. you will make it in whatever you do. no matter what, i believe in you

[@twopintzVT]

Can I just say: Thank you for this. This breaks down everything into nice uncomplicated bite sizes. Now I feel like I can actually tackle a good amount of this myself! I'm really really very grateful : )

[@twopintzVT]

And if I could ask a quick question: what scale did you create your model in or does it not really matter?

[@haru-dy2sg]

@@twopintzVT I believe it doesnt matter since you can most likely enlarge it with most programs when importing it

[@ragmamale4783]

recommend putting it on the middle

[@Hirokka]

This really explained things perfectly and really made the process a whole lot less complicated than what I had thought it to be

[@elliepellie3650]

I watched one video before that basically gave me the feeling that I'd need to spend a lot of cash on commissions in order to get a 2d model, which was really discouraging. Then I watched your video and you actually make it sound achiveable, even without dropping 1k. Thanks, feeling way more motivated to get into designing my own model! PS: Love your butterfly model :3

[@princeallart1302]

Thank you for the video. I had looked into becoming a VTuber last year but lost the time to do it. Your video was a great refresher.

This is an amazing and super informing tutorial!! Learnt more here than in other 30min videos. Thank you very much!!! 💕✨

[@ratgirl9912]

Hi twin

[@tahsinhossain8028]

Woah. This was really helpful! I learned quite a lot from this, more so than the complicated tutorials out there. Most of them aren't beginner-friendly, but this one is! Hoping to see more tutorials in the future if possible! Thanks!

[@Gawain_SP]

as someone who would rather not pay a cent to have a model made, this was a super helpful crash course. plus, i feel ill be more proud of my model if i make it all myself!

[@arcadeguy781]

Same. I’d rather not spend money on a model either. I will need to learn how to draw female anime characters

[@pandorasnyactor474]

same, but its not because of a preference im just broke af T-T

[@elbereth2738]

This is so cool!!! I had no idea it could be so simple, tysm for explaining things!

[@Miloscopy]

I was ready for model creation to be really complicated but this tutorial is really simple and encouraging, thank you!

[@Jorkier]

Oh my gosh thank you! I've been very intimidated by making my vtube model because ive heard its so hard, but I can do all this easily! Bless your soul!

[@kagaminecave]

this explained so much in only 5 minutes! i'd love to start vtubing (is that even a word?) but all the videos i tend to come across have these long and complicated processes explained in 30 minutes, thanks a bunch for this!! you're a life saver!

[@Ame.IsRain]

I need to wait for a computer or laptop for this lol, but I do actually use a mobile app that's pretty easy to use, and the character customization is easy! Sadly you can't make your own assets, but they do have this currency for pulling on gachas for new accessories

[@Ame.IsRain]

It's called REALITY

[@Ame.IsRain]

idk if it's on ios

[@PatStaru]

bro ive seen so many videos about this including yours, and i always come back to yours bc it explains everything so dang well

[@cosmeticincantations7997]

This is a perfect compromise! I would love to do 3D animation and all that comlex mumbo jumbo at SOME point, but right now I prefer 2D art making and knowing I can get away with making a model out of paper cutouts sewn together by post editing magic I'll definitly do this WAY sooner than I thought I would!

[@Naz-jc5tp]

I love this video, it’s so nice and easy to follow. You explain everything in detail as well. I also loved your energy and how you presented the info to us as well. I’m definitely subbing, and look forward to future content!

I know this is an older video, but thank you for the easy explanation to follow. I've been on PNGTubing so far and am curious on jumping into VTube eventually. This video gave me more confidence that I can make my own when I'm ready for that leap.

I can smell money making opportunity from this. Gonna learn how to do this and sell models for local so-called vtuber upstart....for a decent, down to earth, affordable price ofc. You got a like from me for this idea.

[@Sp1derBedo]

This helped so much. It may not go into depth, but it puts the steps in a very easy to follow order so you actually know what to search for late

[@KamillsWorld]

Thanks this helped alot I wanna do commissions of like 2dmodels and was struggling finding vida that just explained the process b4 the rigging o.o which I did download the trial to try and learn and practice rigging a model o.o I'm gonna hopefully see if I can rig just a head or bust or half body at first b4 a full one o.o I already struggle with fullbody art just in general e.e no need to stress myself on it lol

[@TheLurkerFox]

Well, this honestly helped my adhd shut up with the "The task is too vague and complicated!", coz in a step by step it makes more sense! Though, I wanted to ask - do you know if there are any bases that can be used as a reference? I have no idea how to separate my model properly, and I would love to take a look at an already separated model to see what bits go where and how.

[@Tera_B_Twilight]

Thank you for your basic rundown of these steps. I know this is an older video (and things move fast in the digital world) but I believe you've given me what I need to make a start on a model. I'm starting up a twitch channel and want to be on camera but don't really want to BE on camera, if you know what I mean. Hopefully this will give me a foot in the door.

[@KefkeWren]

- Limited art skills. - Sketch your model. "?!?!?!??"

Its like those fake job ads that say its a beginner job but ask for 4 years in the industry...

woah, so well explained, and in under 6 minutes, respect

thank you for the advice although i will be sticking to Vroid for a while since LIVE2D can be vary expansive but i might also have a reactive png model aswell for my chibi form im a feathered dragon btw nice to meet ya. i really like your model and design by the way subscribed! :3

This is super useful, thank you!!

[@BananaSoupProjects]

thankx, my friend learned a lot from this video

[@emilyrobinson6080]

I was getting so overwhelmed trying to figure out 3d modeling in Blender because my PNGtuber model is a bit less humanoid than things like Vroid easily accommodate for, but my character honestly works better as a more 2d design. This makes so much sense and is easy to follow. Now all I have to do is get good at drawing. Gah why cant there be some sort of way to translate sewing or metalworking skills into 2d art.

[@JTDiger]

this video got me hyped also THANK YOu for telling me that it was a flat 2D charater this whole time

That’s cool! I’m not going to make a vtuber model regardless but its still really useful for people who want to try!

[@x0wolfiegaming0x]

Why does this look so complicated for a V-Tuber 😔 I'm thinking like yes I have the skills for art but the stuff that I need to do for it for as separating, and etc is going to be difficult especially rigging. Nice tutorial btw.

[@Hibri-Hallabu]

Thank you so much. I've been looking for a free trial rigging without paying another so this helps alot

[@thatweirdodaniel]

"decent computer" okay yeah no im not doing this anymore

[@bunn228]

I was reading up on how to make a 2D model and it was all sounding complicated but after watching this I feel like I understand a bit more now. Thank you!

[@reifilez]

did you rig your model yourself? If yes, can I have a tutorial? I've been looking for live2d tutorials but they're too complex and hard to follow along to. Thanks for the video :D

[@miko4295]

Question: how big does the canvas need to be?

[@txddybear.1258]

the canvas on which you draw the model? it has to be at least 1000x1000

[@JenniJK-]

This is so late but i did mine on 3600 x 6000 which is average for a full body

[@user-em6ie2be7x]

Thank you so much I thought making a V-Tuber would've been this super complicated process impossible to pull off thank you for the informative Tutorial.

[@KidRiddle64]

Hi, I love this video it's really helpful! I want to ask what is the canvas size for the full body and half body?

[@diamondfox11121]

Also would like to add if you don’t have a drawing tablet for your computer and if you also have an apple device you can use procreate since you can export it with PSD

[@Aratakenn]

does krita work?

That's what I use to!

[@funtom9272]

this 5 minute video was more helpful than most 20+ minute long videos ive seen on this topic

[@PIXELPALETTE-]

What if I don’t have a computer 😅

[@Charborghater48]

You can draw your model on your phone/tablet/ipad, but the animating/rigging part HAVE to be done in a computer/laptop. There's no live2d for android because mobile devices can't handle the cool shit live2d can do.. but if you want, you can pay someone to rig the model for you!! But it'll be expensive..

[@Cube_noob-1]

THANK YOU !! now once I finally finish it I can make more consistent videos !!

[@Tanuki.Kagemori]

I know this video was uploaded some time ago. But correct me if I'm wrong while recapping... - You can draw your vmodel in layers before rigging. - You can rig the model using Live 2D. But rigging is the process that makes the model function (movement, etc.,) - Then you can use your model in a compatible studio program and you're all set? So you don't have to pay for Live 2D at all to use the model, it's just for rigging?

[@inkiyo1632]

thank you a lot i think i finished my model and you can't imagine how i'm happy now

I have been contemplating to make a 2D vtuber model for about 2 years, I am still wanting to do it so I can express my music production and not have to show my face sometimes, cause I feel having something bring out my personality through a character helps me speak to others when I suffer heavily from anxiety and have difficulty being super social with anyone, apologies for over sharing, but also thank you for the tutorial, it means a lot to learn a process in Live 2D rigging and how to work with layers in clip studio and photoshop
