How to Draw Emotes for Twitch | in-Depth Tutorial

I get asked all the time tips and tricks for drawing emotes and badges for Twitch. I put together this very in-depth, step by step tutorial in Clip Studio Paint so that you can see my exact process for how I draw emotes! I have been drawing emotes and commissioning them for other streamers since 2016 and have had lots of experience with them.

I also make premade emote packs for cheap since sometimes it's too hard to draw them yourself and you need to fill some slots on twitch and discord! Check them out here: www.etsy.com/ca/shop/ShyfoxxArt?ref=profile_header

How do I order emote packs?

[@spawnandbatman6975]

That’s so awesome. I’m new to streaming and I want to see if a artist can make me tomato ninja emotes.

[@jaybberwocky]

Thank you *SO much* for this tutorial! I just recently broke out my Intuos 4 tablet again after a while of not using it because I wanted to try making my own emotes before paying someone else to do it. Aside from the incredibly informative nature of the video itself, I had no idea this program even existed. As soon as I switched from photoshop, I knew this was the program I needed to take my digital art to the next level. Clip Studio Paint is seriously amazing! Mixes all the best parts of Photoshop and Illustrator for a truly cohesive experience. 😁

[@annanonya]

can you believe, i went to art and production school in hollywood for nearly a whole year (dropped out) and they wouldn't freaking tell me how to make clean and smooth lines or the tips and tricks you just unleashed in this video....i can't tell you how thankful i am you made this video! when i first got into photoshop it felt so hopeless to try to make clean lines or find an efficient work flow, and now here i am trying to make my own emotes, 3 years later and still learning lol thanks again

[@Shyfoxx]

I never went to art school, and this seems to be a common thing people say which blows my mind! So glad I could help teach a thing or two! Good luck with all your arting and super appreciate your kind comment!!

[@jaytucker7319]

@@Shyfoxx Just wanna echo this sentiment. Thank you so much for sharing your ways with us!

Seriously, THIS. I would ask questions and they would literally tell me to look it up on youtube. . . You are a lifesaver

[@Shyfoxx]

That's mind boggling really. Glad the video helped!

[@ImperialVideo]

I can't believe how much of a relief it is to hear another artist say it is okay to look at references when drawing. I would start to envision the piece I would want to draw fall short and then would need other images for further inspo but felt like cheating since I didn't fully imagine it lol.

[@ash139nit]

I've been doing art actively for about 4 years now and I swear, working on traditional mediums and trying to make the switch to digital is so hard!

[@Shyfoxx]

Yeah the switch can be tough! But hopefully you enjoy the learning curve and the journey!

[@AriQuxeen]

i feel this! a lot of people are moving over to digital tho :(

[@AriQuxeen]

this is a month old now, have you tried any digital stuff yet?

[@AlbinoAxolotl1993]

The jump to digital is a large one.

[@Shyfoxx]

Absolutely! For the most part it can't be taught all at once. Going to be making more tutorials to help people with this transition

Thank you for going step-by-step and explaining I found it very helpful. I can’t wait to try making my own emotes! :)

Just adding a tip: ctrl + shift + alt + e; will create a new layer with all visible layers merged in a non-destructive way (all layers will still be visible)

Your emotes are SO good! I truly have so much to learn >.

[@Shyfoxx]

I just got back into drawing again and was wanting to try my hand at drawing emotes. I have NEVER worked with a drawing pad or photoshop and I can't tell you just how thankful I am I found your video! Thank you SO much for taking the time to make this!! I felt very overwhelmed when I started but this video really helped me work out some of the basics! Thank you again!

[@Shyfoxx]

Yay! Glad it could help you conceptualize the process. Totally understand how overwhelming it is starting out. You got this!

[@Azzarinne]

I came to this video to learn how to make my own emotes. I got out of it to leave these things to the pros who have been doing this forever rather than trying to become "good enough" myself. You have skills!

[@Shyfoxx]

Anyone could improve and become good enough to be a 'pro'! Took me quite a few years to get better at this. But making them yourself isn't for everyone! It's also great to hire an artist! Thanks you for the compliment as well. 😊

[@shadowlupen]

Thank you so much! i've been wanting to try these and made a few failed attempts because vector scared me. going to jump over to that line art video too, your tutorial is super thorough and helpful!

[@Shyfoxx]

Awesome. Best of luck!

@@Shyfoxx thank you! I did one for practice but when merging the vector layers, one layer causes the colored lines to discolor/overlap in a bad way, trying to figure that part out

This video recommendation couldn't have appeared for me at any better time!

[@Shyfoxx]

This means so much to hear! Thank you so much!!

[@96afroman]

I know this video is a little bit older. But as a beginner (legit started today) that helped me kind of get an idea of where to start. i will be checking out more of your content. :)

[@Shyfoxx]

Sounds awesome! Thanks 🤗

[@Gabby_Kat]

Thank you so much, I thought I had to use the size 112 x 112 and I had to draw with only pixels, I am very new to helping streamers with emotes and I'm glad to have finally learned a process to help and grow my art knowledge

[@Shyfoxx]

Oh good! You technically could draw that way but that's be so hard! Glad this helped. 💕

[@Gabby_Kat]

@@Shyfoxx It was very hard, and while I made a few cute and cool ones, I wasn't happy with them because I wanted them to be all "smooth" and readable like everyone else's, I also had other people asking for some but I wanted to search and make sure I knew how to do it right, well, at least steps to get the right start. :3

[@Shyfoxx]

Sounds like progress!

The line art portion of this video in of itself helped me out greatly, as I have never used a new layer just for line art layers, that is SUPER useful and helpful. Thank you for mentioning that!

[@Shyfoxx]

You bet! No problem 👍

[@WoodOx]

I couldn't figure out how to colour vector art, this helped me figure out the process, I'm not used to working in many layers so this'll be a change for me =)

[@Shyfoxx]

[@Shyfoxx]

[@jessqwizical]

I'm so glad you mentioned the brush size! I was trying to find reference to it somewhere and I couldn't find one at all! I'm still learning to draw and really enjoying it just as a relaxing tool 😊

[@Shyfoxx]

Yeah of course! Thanks for checking out my video :)

[@piratelizzie]

as an artist, I love cartoons or toons or anime but I never could wrap my head around to be simple my art is always 10million details and I know this doesn't always work for a emote knowing emotes are simple. This does help with sizing and understanding an emote better. I am on this journey of doing my own and it's a slow-paced journey that works for me.

[@Shyfoxx]

It's definitely an unexpectedly tricky art form! Best of luck on your journey

[@low-key5512]

I'm not sure how I got here.. I can't even draw, but this was so soothing and well explained, I still enjoyed the video

[@GGKittyXO]

Thank you so much for making this! I made my own emote and was wondering why it was so blurry and pixelated when other people's emotes seemed so clear and crisp. It's because I didn't use all the space available to me! Time to tweak!

I am going to try to make my own, but if I end up deciding to buy them, I am most definitely coming to you . Thanks again!

[@CatMuto]

I figured I'd just draw my images for emotes, then trim them down to square size, but... sure, let's check out this video! Yes, I can do the middle-ring-finger-together hand. You use Clip Studio Paint, did you seem to have the one that allows animation work? I'm looking at getting it myself, eventually. Because, unfortunately, Photoshop does not seem to have some of the nifty trick tools like your paint bucket option.

[@Shyfoxx]

yes you can do basic animations in CSP using the pro version (the basic one). I believe pro is limited to around 30 frames or so. can't remember how many since I haven't done animation in it yet.

[@VermilionLotus]

This was really helpful. I don't have Clip Studio Paint (I use Photoshop) but the tools you outlined here seem to lend themselves very well to emote art. I'll have to look into whether or not they have the same features in photoshop, otherwise I will definitely be getting CSP.

[@Shyfoxx]

There are definitely similarities in the programs so I'm sure you can do much of the same things. I definitely prefer CSP myself :)

Consider to NOT use random Canvas Sizes. Doesn't matter if 1200x1200 or 500x500 Use the needed 112x112 and multiply it! F.E. : 448x448 is the size i am using for Emotes and 432x432 is the size i am using for Badges. This way it won't be blurry in 28x28, since the Pixel relation stays the same, so there is the perfect space for the pixel information I am in the freelancing Emote Industry for a bit now, and made the same mistakes earlier But the rest of the Video is the perfect way for people who want to start out with doing Emotes AND TBH: WE LOVE EMOTES!!♥♥

Interesting advice. I may have to experiment with this to see if it makes a difference. My thoughts on it is that it wouldn't really make a difference to use a multiple of the original emote sizes as it all gets scaled down to share pixels with the number of pixels available either way. But it definitely wouldn't hurt to try it this way I guess! Thanks for the tip!

I tried this for the first time and its not as good looking as yours but im so happy with how it turned out 🥰🥰🥰

[@Shyfoxx]

That's awesome! Takes practice! My first emotes were definitely not as good as my current ones. :)

Thanks so much for the information! I’m not into drawing much myself but I appreciate emotes so much more after seeing how it’s done.

[@Shyfoxx]

That's awesome of you to even look into this! It's a difficult art form because of how small emotes have to be so glad you could get some insight into what we emote artists do!

Thank you a ton for the advice! It's going to help me a lot when I finally set up a lot of my other Twitch/KZbin stream layouts 😁
