How to create a persona! An art guide.

Hey I'm new to creating content like this so I'm not really familiar with it, but I hope this is easy enough to follow and might help out some artists.

Absolutely amazing!!!! I’ve been drawing my persona as just myself, but now I’m excited to start experimenting!!!

[@I_CANSPEAK_IN_CAPS]

I never really had a persona, but I agree

[@inural]

It took me 6 tries and half a year to create a persona I could relate to. A lot of it is not just shapes, colour or Species but also the feeling of "you". I suggest to anyone who is creating their persona right now, take a pen out and make a list: of things you like, personality traits that you or your friends love in you the most and how you would like to act if your shyness didn't affect you. It helped me a LOT during the creation and I wish you lukc, stranger ^-^ Thank you for the video Qifwen, love it

[@AstraAnimates]

This is so cool! I’ve been having such a hard time coming up with a new persona that’s memorable but still me and this is super motivating! Also I adore your persona, it’s so cute!! ^^

[@Nyxaeia]

I just use my axolotl fursona. Their name is Pheobe (bc i always loved than name) and they're more like a mascot than actually me, despite me having a fully made pngtuber compatable with OBS that i made for them. They function kind of like how Ham does for Haminations, or a bit more accurately, Riggy for DannoDraws. They are an oc/mascot that appears visually more often than me. Or at least that's my plans. For now while i am getting everything into order i am simply posting silly animations somewhat irregularly

[@klutzykaya6439]

good video!! I've been really stuck on the idea that my sona should look like me but this was helpful! also the general tips about shape and color and drawing inspiration were cool too!!

[@GAL-CAKE]

As someone who wants to create a sona with gyaru and decora kei motifs, this is right up my ally omg!! Your style is so Beautiful!! 😭💗💕💞💗

[@GAL-CAKE]

They were also gonna be an alien!! alien army!! >:3

[@Qifwen]

[@sucasica3845]

Why when I saw your sona I immediately thought of Gnarpy 💀 Regretevator rotted my mind

[@DYLLXN_x3]

SAME 😭

[@FARAWAY_AUBREY.]

OMG ME 222

[@Dawn_Stars]

I’ve used my persona for 2 years now and I’ve recently been playing around with the design and this helped so much!

[@_lavender_pebbles_]

im getting a lot of underrated youtubers on my recommended and clearly youre one of them

[@_lavender_pebbles_]

(btw your art looks delectable)

[@strawberrzy..]

thank youuu i’ve been trying to get a cool looking oc but it was so difficult for me, this is literally the best video ever 😭

[@oddish5436]

So helpful!! I rlly struggle with being creative and I’m not very imaginative especially when it comes to expressing myself via art. So I appreciate this so much :3

[@user-bu8xd4gy9v]

You just single handedlu broke my art block and gave me motivation in one vid- TYSM!

[@nownow4323]

Ngl i didn't watch this video in hopes of making my own sona someday-step 1 is hard enough for me personally, but i at least got to understand how this portion of the art community is able to do what they do 👍 also nice art

[@DashyAndLux]

Ur persona looks so much like gnarpy

[@Qifwen]

Honestly I had no idea what gnarpy was until like the other day when someone said that.

[@chocomilitant]

took me soSOSOOOO LOONGGG to make a persona i like for YEARS, im so glad i have found this

[@FaolanSan]

Names are really annoying to come up with. For about a year one of my main characters in my story didn’t even have a name I just referred to them as ‘the general’ or ‘the leader’ till I listened to the song Brutas and realized she acted a lot like the character in that song so I stole the name and thats her name now lmao

[@kissezss]

Brutus?

[@rigahmortis7798]

im gonna be 22 in 3 months and i still dont have an official persona xp (been drawing since i was a wee lad) i think this is my sign to make one... it is time o_o

[@kazoofington]

your art style is GORGEOUS aGH amazing job

[@hxxskeyy]

I SAW THAT SPLATOON REFERENCE

[@redacteds4284]

Ive always made ocs and stuff but have always struggled making a persona, so im super thankful for the tips!

[@8BITStar]

I have 2 persona’s, one is small mascot looking guy who is me who I identify as, and another is a oc who I use as my roblox avatar and how ppl know me in games

[@ktaa_]

i’ve decided to use my roblox avatar as mine LOL i have a cute little kitty in my head. it’s so simple but so me.

I once had a scenecore alien but i saw someone else with a alien that looked like mine (the mini version of my persona) so I changed it to a all seeing eye creature! Idk if someone copied me or they were there before and I just looked like a copier

[@CandiedInChaos]

[@alllllllly255]

[@dia_suniii]

[@Qifwen]

It's totally fine to use a jellyfish concept like that! I'm defiently not the first person who's ever done it dw

[@dia_suniii]

tysm!!

[@definitive_anteater]

been thinking about making a persona, and honestly, i might just make it a salmon. nothing to it, just a salmon. maybe a night cap.

[@stonefailz]

what do you use for audio recording and editing?

[@no1legobatmanfan]

aww love this. my persona is actually a dog alien, which is silly !! :p

[@_Mayoz_]

OMG ITS FRYE I LOVE HERRR 2:17

[@Takoyakisplatoonwow]

3:09 IS THAT A SPLATOON REFERENCE?!?!?!?!??!!?!!?!??!?!?!??? 😦😦😦😦😦 (I’m very happy I found this video thank you :3)

[@Qifwen]

I actually ran out of footage when making this video. So I just started including random speedpaints

[@Asadfishwhodoesart]

For me I took bits from my own characters and traits from my real life body and friends and then made my sona Fishy and her pet fish, Waffles.

[@mylesgarden]

glitter force was the first anime i watched

[@ceru1ean_f1n1ty]

Frye really jumpscare me 😭😭

[@Qifwen]

😭😭 damn

[@ceru1ean_f1n1ty]

I love it when I press on a random video I assume isn’t splatoon related at all and then suddenly something splatoon related just pops into existence right in front of me (I love splatoon)

[@Qifwen]

@@ceru1ean_f1n1ty literally me

[@Flyingsearat]

opinions on giving your persona a Chinese name when you aren’t of Chinese ethnicity ? im learning it at the moment and i love the Chinese naming system but im not Chinese so im not sure if its allowed to name your persona something Chinese when your white 😭😭 + if it makes a difference im studying Chinese as a second language at the moment so i do need something in Chinese to go buy in Chinese anyway , but im not sure if that thing should be based off of a English word or name or not

[@SillyLittleBalloonCatNameLouis]

My new persona is gonna be a artistic wobble dog :D

[@AroAceBean]

Idk my persona is a baked bean thats an inter dimensional god

[@TheCofeCafe]

Here's my issue, my mood bored looks like vomit, non of the things go together and I can't relate to just 1 thing. I'm stuck and I can't figure out just one thing

[@SummerTheFurry]

My persona is legit just me with ears and a tail

[@subkit_yuri]

Persona Persona, show me your Persona. 🤖👦🔫

[@piberto]

well i guess i failed when i made mine 👍

[@hermansykes6464]

What app do you use

[@Qifwen]

Clip studio paint for art, toon boom for animation and premier pro for editing.

[@TELEVISION-cy8uv]

So much inspiration from gnarpy (lampert is better)

[@endogenyw]

r u british

[@Qifwen]

Im Australian

[@happykidkai8624]

wym by dont make it bad?????? lmaoo

[@Qifwen]

I knew someone who's persona was a literal n@tsee. So I meant don't create a persona that will reflect badly on you as a person, eg making them creepy or smth bad historically.

[@scribblecloud]

for me i get hung up on what artstyle to use/how to stylize the character and what exact colors to use for like several months 🥲😂
