Thank you. I was actually following along. Paused video alot. Before I realized It was a hamburger, lol I was making it into an ice cream cone instead lol. So informative. I've had a few streamers tell me I should look into making twitch emotes. I just started using Procreate a couple months ago. Your is the first step by step video that say's what to do from start to finish. Thank you also for the two app's I had no clue about! Many thanks.

[@VideogameShay]

I'm so happy this tutorial was able to help you step by step!

[@irlanderillustrations7517]

full time artist here. Graphic novels and concept art mainly. recently got hired to make twitch emotes for the very first time and your video was absolutely amazing in guiding me in the right direction. thank you very much for your lovely video. your an amazing artist and you've def earned my sub :)

[@VideogameShay]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy your new venture into emote art!

[@irlanderillustrations7517]

@@VideogameShay i may have missed something! what DPI did you use for the 500 x 500 image. as well as for all the resized images :)?

[@CambleJamble]

Not me on a sofa, iPad against my knees, hunched back while watching this 😂

[@odduckOasis]

Your way of resizing the emotes is so great! I've had a lot of ppl ask me how to resize in procreate since doing resizing using the resize option looks pretty crappy. I'll def have to try this method! Thanks for the extra info on your methods of making emotes in procreate, very useful!

[@VideogameShay]

thank you! i have a very in depth linework tutorial too regarding emotes i released last week :)

[@kayley6193]

This is such a good tutorial! I appreciate you going over the tools and the program needed for getting into this too! Can't wait for the next one!

Thank you so much 🥰 Can’t wait to do the next one!

[@austingibson9520]

I’ve been freaking out about the pixelation thinking I’d need to redo all of my drawings. Thank you!!

[@OliviaGlarden]

New to procreate and digital art in general. Learned so many helpful tips that I hadn't discovered yet while playing with the program! Cannot thank you enough!

[@cjwsk12]

only about 3 minutes in and i love how you go over health in the frst part of the view. Thanks so much for sharing your trips and being caring. I too sit on the couch and draw on my ipad, only to be in pain after just an hour. My neck and back!! great video

[@Chibiwerewoof]

This is super helpful, when I made emotes in the past and they were too small. Also to help with avoiding the unwanted marks, you can set your iPad to only draw with the pen. It also makes it easier for procreate to recognize shortcuts

[@VideogameShay]

Great tip!

[@HoneyGaming_]

I love the idea of flipping the image to see it with a fresh set of eyes. so simple but so smart.

[@bushidojiujitsumma]

why are you so talented? amazing vid

[@MysticEspe]

This is so helpful. I used procreate to make my first emotes and I made some silly mistakes. Will definitely reference this while making emotes from now on. Thank you!

You’re very welcome thanks for watching! I have a few more videos on the way too :)

[@daitime9026]

This was a superbbbb tutorial, thank you so much!

[@KimberlyAldridge]

You can change your settings to where you can only draw with the pencil so you don't need the glove! I have mine set to only do gestures with my fingers, and click settings and tools but I can't draw with anything more than my pencil!

[@DenisRyan]

This was an incredibly informative video! Thank you so much for creating it! I've been a huge fan of Procreate for years now and do lots of art on it, but only recently got into streaming on Twitch. Thank you for sharing all this! I followed you on Twitch too (or will do, as soon as I finish storing this comment...)

I'm glad you found it helpful!!! Procreate is an amazing app!! Thanks for the follow as well!

I appreciate you so much been asking other emote creators to help me. I’m so new to this and I was asked to format my emotes but I couldn’t figure it out. You’re awesome for sharing this ❤

You’re so welcome!

[@irvsyaoran]

I've never ever done digital art nor chibi style in my life but I've been wanting to try and create emotes for my streamer friends and this was so helpful and amazing! I'm feeling even more motivated to go and try but I don't know if I'm delusional for thinking I could do this when I've never done it before.

[@VideogameShay]

Everyone in everything has to start somewhere first - even pro athletes started not knowing anything about their sport! You've got this!

Ugh I loved your tutorial! You explained really well and at a good pace. I did watch other tutorials but yours was just different, it would be great if you made more! 🫶🏻 or if you just streamed it too, I’m now a fan lol. I just need to figure out my art style for when I can add emotes to my channel. And a friend of mine also wants me to make him emotes so I’ve been practicing 🙃 Anyway thank you it was so helpful! I plan on watching it over some time again to follow along and make my own version of it, and going to make sure I have Google Drive set on my iPad and what not

Hi! I really wanna start doing twitch emotes and your video is great!!! I have a question tho, why do we have to resize the canvas later on?

[@sjade15]

I have to say that you taught me something about Procreate that I didn't know. And now I feel rather silly that I didn't know it before. So thank you!

[@VideogameShay]

Haha well I’m glad I can help! Sometimes I still find myself learning things that seem so obvious!

[@saifullahsear]

My iPad is 11 inch iPad Pro and I got my first ever commissions to draw stickers like this!

[@VideogameShay]

Congrats!

[@mrs-_-cbk]

Hi, thanks for your videos! Question, if you are resizing this way for an animated emote would you copy canvas for each layer into the new sized canvas? Or is there a better way for animated emotes... having a hard time figuring out resizing my animated emotes.

[@VideogameShay]

Yep this is how I do it - I find it turns out better when I copy each layer separately to the smaller canvas. I’m not sure why but I’ve noticed a big difference this way!

[@itorvai]

This video and your other video's are super helpful, but how do you get your emote from procreate to your computer to upload it on your twitch?

[@VideogameShay]

Sent it to a cloud program!

[@TheLunarLex]

This was so well explained! Thank you!!!

[@JasonSnailer]

I just found your channel. I can’t draw at all but this looks very fun

[@VideogameShay]

Thank you so much 😀

I want to try your shading style.

that's the next video ^_^

[@fawnlove9527]

I've been hang lots of transparency issues on my ipad! Everytime I save transparent image either one sent to me or one i create on procreate a white BG ends up getting attatched and I dont know how to solve this issue! I want to create my own emotes and stickers but I keep getting stuck with white backgrounds

Tysm!!!! Making my first 😅❤

[@Hanadeiji]

This was very clear and helpful, thank you

[@VideogameShay]

[@Maniifeast]

Thank you very helpful 😊🎉

[@diadiablo_]

When resizing, do client ever complain about the pixilation difference?? I wasn’t sure how that worked! Thank you

[@VideogameShay]

No issues at all when doing it within the app like I showed! I've had some issues when using free services online for resizing, because of the way they reorganize the pixels, it can look a little bit fuzzy when you bring it down to the 28 pixels.

[@missfluffybunz]

Thank you! This helped ALOT

RIGHT?!?!??! $10 is a steal

[@PachucoTTV]

Love the video I am a new streamer trying to make new emotes and I have a IPad but if I don’t have a apple pincel am I still able to draw with my finger or will it not work just wondering before I purchase procreate

[@SnowFenrir09]

Thank for you the tutorial! I have a question, why do you need to send 3 different file sizes for the emotes? Is that a twitch thing?

[@VideogameShay]

Twitch does it but the quality isn’t very good so I prefer to do it myself!

[@digidrawdude]

Your work is DOPE 👊🏾

I get photo shop and and adobe through school, how would you recommend using it??

[@meylko]

I like your video!❤️ Thank you 💕

[@Kay-fi7gc]

The video was incredibly helpful, thank u so much! But I didn't understand why the emotes had to be resized in the end. I would like to understand what the purpose of this is. Could someone maybe explain it to me?

[@VideogameShay]

I control the quality when I resize it, versus letting Twitch do it

[@falonoliviaa]

Can you please show me how to make my studio pen do that 😭 I can’t get the taper right. I can’t figure out the right settings.

[@0xfrans659]

Love this tuto ! How do you manage the text ? like "HYPE", "GG"... ? you use procreate too ?

[@VideogameShay]

No I do all my fonts afterwards in photoshop! Procreate's text feature is hot garbage (@procreate pls make it better)

[@blackymoons844]

Good morning, I followed your tutorial and when I place the emotes in twitch the 112x112 is 30kb, the minimum being 25kb, do you have any idea of ​​this little problem? thanks in advance. Your video is excellent, thank you for sharing

[@VideogameShay]

Sometimes this can happen with Procreate, I will use a website like this one r-1.ch/twitch-emote-optimizer/ to resize it!

[@blackymoons844]

@@VideogameShay Thank you very much for your response. I'm going to do this.🙏🙏🙏

[@Alyshay76]

what settings do you have setup for your studio pen when you do your line art? Mine doesn't give me the clean line its pixelated on the edge and im trying to mess with the edges to make it look better but its not working out so well... This video is very helpful i'm just beginning my drawing journey altogether and i'm starting with the digital side of art.

[@VideogameShay]

Your canvas might be too small!

[@nerdmango9819]

What would you suggest how to start drawing like this for a complete beginner?

[@mei_meimei]

Hello! Thank you for the great tutorial. How did you set up the tiny window in the top left corner to preview the smaller size?

[@VideogameShay]

It's called a "reference" window, it's in the settings on the top left hand corner!

[@psych2804]

Just a little question. I was wondering how you get your lines so crisp? When I draw on such a small canvas obviously the pixels look very defined. Just wondering if there’s a way to minimize that?

[@kundagoonda]

Try a higher dpi? I noticed she didn't mention it, but I use a 350 dpi and it looks smooth

[@maeclown]

@@kundagoondaI’m a little dumb, what’s a dpi?

[@maeclown]

there’s a video on that I’m pretty sure

[@SophiaGamess]

@@maeclownIt’s basically the quality of the drawing, the more DPI, the smoother it is! (300 DPI is recommended for most drawings)

how do you get that preview window on the top left corner???

[@VideogameShay]

Reference window! I’m making a new tutorial with the updated features

[@stefandavison]

Super useful video!! I do twitch emotes but just got my new iPad and pencil. What brush settings do you use, I use the same studio pen brush, but a slight pressure change creates a non smooth taper

[@ItsBiaSousa]

Do you send with watermarks before the final version?

[@VideogameShay]

I send just a screenshot which usually they cannot steal!

[@nachotyler]

Great tutorial! One question though, what dpi did you make your canvas?

[@VideogameShay]

I always use 300DPI!

@@VideogameShay thank you! I’m newer to digital and half the time it’s not mentioned or everyone says something different lol

[@MystiaSkye]

Hi there, for adding shadows to the specific layer, how do you select just that layer to stay within and then shade on a new Layer? I didn’t see which tool you selected to do so. Thank you in advance!

[@VideogameShay]

You can either do a clipping mask or you can select the layer and do a new layer overtop and shade that way. That’s the next tutorial. You can also watch my shading tutorial I uploaded which can help you

[@LibysUniverse]

Questions how come you make them smaller at the end??

[@VideogameShay]

I can control the quality when I resize it myself in procreate!

@@VideogameShay Thanks Shay, as there are so many to rip you off. Shameful but true. Are you doing more game than drawing videos now. When I subbed I checked more out in your channel and can't find much for drawing. Is it early days with Videogameshaydraw ?

[@VideogameShay]

@@bampidraws Precisely! I split my time between gaming and drawing - and in order to please the YT algorithm i decided to split the channels.

I'm working on an updated version of this one with new tricks i learned in the last 2 years :)
