How to Draw EMOTES for Twitch: FULL Walkthrough Tutorial

[@Shyfoxx]

If drawing your own emotes seems to be too difficult then you can visit my emote shop! 🤗 www.etsy.com/shop/shyfoxxart

[@moyolubuowoxd748]

I found this in my recommended after sitting all night yesterday making my avatar for twitch, and tomorrow my emote work begins, thank you for this SUPER useful guide

[@Shyfoxx]

Epic!! Absolute best luck to you creating. 💕

[@courtneybowe4142]

There are quite a few full, "detailed" tutorials out there that don't even come close to this one. Shy, not only is your art amazing; your teaching is impeccable. Thank you so much for sharing your light.

[@Shyfoxx]

Thank youuuu. Such a heartwarming comment. Super encouraging. 💕🤗

[@bampidraws]

I totally agree 😊

[@AngelicAkumaAcchan]

it took me six hours (mostly because I draw on my phone) but the result was amazing! Thank you and I will watch your other tutorials

[@Shyfoxx]

That's great!

[@imnjade]

Thank you so much for sharing your drawing process for your emotes! Really in depth and helped me get started on making my own emotes! The step by step guide was really helpful in understanding how each step mattered!

[@Shyfoxx]

Awesome to hear!! Thanks

[@Shyfoxx]

Awesome to hear! So glad it was helpful!

[@AnnisQuest]

instead of merging and going the save as route, you can just export -> single layer and set the size there : )

[@Shyfoxx]

Never tried that. Thanks for the tip!

[@DDOCTORGaming]

Really great tips and advice for beginners, who just started doing emotes like me, so we can see the whole process and mostly importantly the reasons why certain things are done (the thought process) :) Keep up the great content , so glad i found this gem of a channel :)

[@Shyfoxx]

Absolutely! And you're so right about thought process.

[@manewnya]

I'm new to Clip Studio Paint and digital drawing in general. Your tutorial showed sooo many things how to do things easier! I'm sooo grateful to you ♥

[@Shyfoxx]

You're very welcome!

[@dantrizz]

I've watched this tutorial twice today already (and taken notes the second time round). I've literally only just started getting into digital art and, even though my line art is terrible, you've made this so straight forward and inspiring to aim for. Thank you very much

[@Shyfoxx]

Amazing. You'll do well then. Glad it was helpful!

[@SeaDoug]

I've had clip art since middle school and this tut was so helpful. I didn't know about any of the vector tools or being able to have a reference folder and the power of a stabilized g pen!!! Thank you so much!

[@Shyfoxx]

Epic! Those tools will help a ton. Happy painting!!

[@beanybee]

Not only did i watch until the end...i watched it 3 times. Thanks for your help!

[@Shyfoxx]

With commitment like that you will go much further than the average person! And quickly too. Best of luck

[@capuchinbird_builds]

This video was so helpful! Its my first time trying to draw emotes and you really helped me :3 Thank you so much

[@Shyfoxx]

I'm so glad! No problem!

[@St_Christopher]

Finally got the chance to watch this and take notes! You're such a great teacher for this program. Thank you for taking the time to show us all how its done.

[@Shyfoxx]

That's next level to take notes! I thought about suggesting it in the video as it's a super good idea but it's already long enough. Good for you!!!

[@St_Christopher]

@@Shyfoxx Old college habit from back before i did digital art. That way I can refer back to things when im in the zone :D

[@Shyfoxx]

I definitely do the same! Especially on difficult or unfamiliar topics

[@CelestialStylus]

This is a fantastic video, by design or not, I learned more about using CSP than any other persons tutorial I've seen so far. 10/10

[@Shyfoxx]

That means a lot. Thank you!!

[@RachWelshie]

I can honestly say the few videos I've watched (this one included) by you have been a MASSIVE help and I am grateful that you "fix as you go" because seeing this "mistakes" and how to fix them and that someone as talented still makes them helps me not be so hard on myself, so thank you for being real about it all

[@Shyfoxx]

No problem! So glad my mistakes can be taken this way. I kick myself for doing them at the time but I hope that this is exactly what comes of it anyway! It'd be too hard to edit out or redo for the video sake, I don't have time for that lol. Best to embrace our mistakes and learn from them!

[@swifttoplay3047]

i actually find this really helpful, the first watch i was on my phone playing mech arena, and i found myself coming back to you and going "oh this actually makes sense,i can follow"

[@Shyfoxx]

Ahhh that's glorious! So glad you find it possible to follow along. I know this is a a complex topic.

Long detailed tutorials are my kryptonite. Thank you for this 🙏 Also also, if you don't have Clip Studio or the Adobe Suite, for this kind of art Krita on PC and Sketchbook on Android are more than enough. If you don't want to draw and just do vectors instead, Gimp is alright too.

[@antoniojuarez7974]

@@Shyfoxx I do got a quick question Would it be idea to start your drawing off with vector lines or regular sketch lines or is it just preference I understand the difference between each other I just don't know what people prefer the mosts

[@Shyfoxx]

Vector layers are ideal for things where you may want to adjust the lines after drawing them. For example changing the brush type and size, picking up a line to move it and resizing (scale up) without losing quality. You could sketch with a vector layer, but I personally wouldn't, it's designed to be used for solid lines not soft sketchy ones. I find the eraser to specifically doesn't work as intended with sketches on a vector layer. So some experimenting and you'll get the idea. You can also look into some of my recent line art specific tutorials as they demonstrate and explain a lot about vector use. 👍

[@antoniojuarez7974]

@@Shyfoxx I know you said in your video you don't do much of a tutorial video but it seems like when I watch your videos I learn a lot so I feel like I'm gonna be learning a lot in your videos.

@@antoniojuarez7974 no problem! I appreciate the lovely comment 🤗❤️✨

[@DCSChopsticks]

Have you experimented with changing the shadow layers to the Hard Light blend mode? I have been jumping between that and the multiply blend mode a lot for shading.

[@Shyfoxx]

I've used them but like to keep things simple in the tutorial. I usually will just pick the color I need but modes can sometimes create for unexpected awesome effects

[@ChristopherJonesaffluentempire]

Great vid

[@Shyfoxx]

Thank you!!

[@roooster_]

great tutorial! but instead of duplicating the outline layer to make the lines around your drawing bigger, you can just put everthing in one folder put a border on this folder :D

So how do you do a border on a folder? 🤔

When you create a new canvas uncheck 'paper color' and you can also change the color of your default canvas color as explained in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIikkJ5neLGsi6c

I bought CSP like 1,5 years ago (it was on quite a discount at that time) and never really found motivation to work with it. But now, as i plan to start streaming myself i may use it for creating my own emotes. Your video will help me a lot, thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us! But one thing comes constantly to my mind when i see purchaseable emote packs like yours on etsy that refer to games, shows, etc.... how do you deal with copyright and license issues? are self-drawn emotes of e.g. game characters like Link really okay? Or can the company that owns the rights for a certain character sue you?

[@Shyfoxx]

Glad the video is helpful! Selling fanart is copyright. Anyone doing it is taking a risk. Each artist needs to get informed about copyright to decide if and how much risk they are willing to take as being negligent won't hold up as an excuse.
