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.
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 :)
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!
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
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!
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
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!
I made an emote for my boyfriend's twitch channel since he's just starting out and I have not found a video as detailed as this one! I loved the video and your little emote pun. Will subscribe on here and follow on twitch!
I'm an artist that has just started my dive into emote and sticker art. Thank you so much for this tutorial as I feel like I'll get myself off on the right foot with this information more so than if I tried to do it all on my own. thnx!
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 ❤
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 awwww thank you so much for the encouragement. I'm going to get an Apple pencil and start following your tutorials and see what comes out of that!
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!
thank you for this! ive wanted to draw my own emotes for a while now but never understood how the sizing worked, this was extremely easy to follow and was straight to the point!
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.
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
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?
Been wanting to create some emote ideas myself & your video helped me so much. (Was struggling trying to find a good process on Procreate) Thank you so much! Got my 1st self made emote ready to go so much faster with your tutorial 💖 your vid deserves way more views!
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?
Thanks for video helped me out a ton! I got a iPad Pro last Christmas but never used it and recently got into digital work so thought I'd put it to use but didn't know where to begin. I also loved the step by step process you showed can't wait to get into this more.
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...)
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!
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
How do you do the google drive folder? also it's okay it's so pixelated? I'm new to commissions with digital art and trying to give my clients the best I can do but I'm so confused with tech.
Any reason you don't just send the original largest size since many sites have the ability to process from a high quality image and generate the small sizes?
Hey Foohy! That's a good question - I find that the native app tends to preserve the quality better than resizing online, from my understanding there are various options to resize but because it's not a native application, I believe there is just a guess at there the pixels are arranged in the new smaller space, which is why often resizing on free website generators can offer a more blurry, less clear version than if you were to do it natively. I know when I first did emotes I used a free resizing website and since I've done it within the app, I noticed a huge difference!
Can you share the stabilization percentage on the line work? I’m having issues knowing how to make the lines smooth and not wonky or looking like it’s a sketch 😭
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
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
What are some different ways to send your emotes to your clients? When you save the image, my background stays white when its in a 112px even tho background is turned off, is that normal for it? Just started myself and figuring the best ways to share without any complications
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.
I… I need an explanation how to do the highlight gradient on the eyes. It’s been bugging me to know. I’m new to doing emotes and still so much to learn 😫
Ok so I just drew this on my iPad and it def needs lots of work. My pencil size must have been different than yours. Your lines are so good and mine look like blah
What's the reasoning for making copies at different resolutions? I thought twitch accepted anything between 112 and 4096px. I'm guessing maybe it's because some PNGs at say 500px arent low enough in file size?
Great question: so Twitch I believe wants at least one in the size of 112px and then they can resize it for you. However, there are many ways in which to resize it and everytime you resize, you lose resolution and quality as the resizing software sort of guesses where to place the pixels since this is not a vector based drawing. So it usually better to resize it natively in the app to preserve the quality! The end result is slightly more "crisp" I find. Twitch's resize feature sometimes blurs the edges though it is not horribly noticeable, but still it makes a small difference
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
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
I followed your tutorial for my own emotes and sent to my daughter who streams on twitch and said they were really pixelated and that her other emotes were not pixelated. What am I doing wrong?
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.
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!

@@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 :)?
almost 2 years later and this video coming in clutch. Thank you for such an easy to understand and in-depth tutorial

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

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?
Try a higher dpi? I noticed she didn't mention it, but I use a 350 dpi and it looks smooth
@@kundagoondaI’m a little dumb, what’s a dpi?
there’s a video on that I’m pretty sure
@@maeclownIt’s basically the quality of the drawing, the more DPI, the smoother it is! (300 DPI is recommended for most drawings)

I control the quality when I resize it, versus letting Twitch do it
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!
Haha well I’m glad I can help! Sometimes I still find myself learning things that seem so obvious!
This was awesome. I had to quit last year and you addressed some issues I really needed help with! Thank you

This could be an option!
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?
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.
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?
Sent it to a cloud program!
Hi shay!!, thank you for this video, you help me a lot.
You can make animated emotes with Procreate?
Yes you can!
This was so well explained! Thank you!!!
nice work flow :)
This helps a LOT! thank you!!!

It's called a "reference" window, it's in the settings on the top left hand corner!
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?
Twitch does it but the quality isn’t very good so I prefer to do it myself!

What's the reasoning for making copies at different resolutions? I thought twitch accepted anything between 112 and 4096px. I'm guessing maybe it's because some PNGs at say 500px arent low enough in file size?

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

I always use 300DPI!
