Almost the same goes for me, except the fact that I could hardly call myself an artist and I was curious about the process what would it take to create my own emotes as a fresh twitch affiliate. Awesome video and awesome (and of course cute) emote, tho. 😊
@@hexyraart I just didn't understand if there are any basic emotions that can be drawn by everyone. Or how do you invent them? There are emotions that everyone will have that are roughly similar.
@@skanikart if you do a goggle search and look for 'twitch emotes' you'll notice that there's some expressions that almost everyone has in common (Ex. heart emote, wave, cry etc) but you can take inspiration from everything! I really like to get inspo from anime screencaps!
I wish you’d walk us through every step. So what layers, what pens, what the thickness of the lines are, etc. I really struggle with having them look good from afar and I am not sure how thick my lines should be and how to change part of the lines’ colour. Or how you resize things and drag them to where you want or copy those squares. I’d love to know all of that ❤
Hi! Sorry for the late answering! I made this tutorial to guide you on how to draw emotes but it's a general guide and not something too in depth. Tbh there are no strict rules about layers, line thickness etc cause it's more a personal choice! I personally use a single layer for lineart and then layers for base colours and shadow/light clipped above them! About thickness of the pen I don't really know ;o; I just increase and decrease brush size to my liking! To resize things you can go on 'edit' and click 'transform'! Hope this helps, wish you a great day!
Through watching this video, I can see various small detail which, as a beginner, is VERY helpful tips. Im not great at art, but im GREAT at analyzing. I feel like this boosted my confidence a bit, and i think i could make a single emote... hopefully if i like it, I could end up inspired to make more. it doesnt have to be as amazingly detailed as yours, ill stick to just making something that works 😂 But until i reach that level, Thanks for this video!
Love how you move your avatar out of view to let people check your actions on layers, I bet you had problems with that kind of tutorials once. Really good and useful content.
Omg you deserve way more!! I’m definetely subscribing, even though I won’t use the tutorial. You have great talent for drawing and I really think you helped thousands of people. Good luck!
So what I don't understand is the different size options on the twitch emote resizer. Why have three different emote sizes? Why use the smallest one which is 28x28? Why not use the biggest one which is 112x112 and avoid having to basically do pixel art with the touch up on the 28x28 option? Do you use all three size options or do you only use the smallest one (28x28)? Are some for mobile users and some for pc users? I just seen a hand few of tutorials on how to draw twich emotes and I haven't seen someone have manually go in and touch up the smallest option. I have no clue about this type of stuff and I really need some help to understand please.
Hello! I'm so sorry for the very late reply, I haven't had the time to check YT lately ;v; by the way, you can use Twitch in different platforms as pc, mobile and TV, so the different emotes sizes are for each platform, the smallest emote size should be pc size. When you upload your emotes on Twitch, you can upload them manually or upload one (less than 1MB) and Twitch automatically resizes. I edit the 28px one cause sometimes when resizing the emote and making it small it loses details so i try to add them again in the editing process!! It's just my personal preference tho, not everyone does this!
@@hexyraart Okay that makes complete sense, thank you for answering I really appreciate that so much. I really want make things like this, your video is very helpful. :)
HII sorry for the late reply!!!;; I use Clipstudio Paint! The brush is one of the default ones in the brush sections! It's called transparent watercolor! It's usually below or above dense watercolor!
Do you have any recommendation for shading?? You do an amazing job with shading and since I just started out making emotes I don't really have any knowledge on where to shade or how to! Thank you for reading and for the amazing tutorial! I hope you're having a beautiful day!
Hello there! So sorry for the late reply;; was super busy! Thank you for your compliments! I usually start shading after I add base colors and I use multiply laters for shadows and screen/add layers for light! I always suggest to set your light source first (i draw a tiny sun somewhere around the character) I have some speedpaints here so you can see the process but once i'll be more free with work i'd love to make a shading tutorial!! If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Hi there, sorry for late reply! I actually do not make animated emotes, only static. I can only make a video about how to separate emotes layers, but not animation.
Actually there are a lot of emotes that have the same patterns and they are all made using some emotes chart that you can buy online. They're pretty usefull and free for you to use, if you pay of course
yeah! But not everyone wants to use same bases for every emote! Some artists make YCH emotes but others just draw from the beginning! It's just a matter of choice imo c:
This is a really good tutorial but I have a question. When you draw on 1 canvas, and you zoom in, how is it automatically deleting the excess lines outside that canvas? Thank you in advance ^^
Hello!! Sorry for the late reply omg;; I was full of work and couldn't asnwer, could you please tell me in which minute this happens?? So I can explain to you!
I have a big canvas open in one project and small canvas open in a second one, fill the small canvas with a color, select all, copy, then go back to the big canvas and paste!
Hello! I love your tutorial so much and it helped me a lot! I do have a question tho! If I do emote commissions, is it necessary to resize and send them multiple sizes of the emotes or just the original size?
I honestly prefer to resize myself and send multiple sizes since I edit the 28x28px emotes too! But you can also send the original size cause twitch has automatic resizer option!! So ye just do what you prefer!!! I'm glad my video could help!!;;
Omg thank you!!;; When my comms are open I make a Tweet or post it on instagram! People contact me in dms! Lately i tried a new website called VGen and it's made for artists, you should check it out!
I appreciate your explanations, but I have a question: why do you convert it to a smaller PNG? I'm asking because I would like to start with the smaller PNG instead of converting it later.
Basically you create 2 canvases! One is 500x500px and the other one will be bigger (mine was around 3000px wide), when you work on the 500px canvas you fill it grey with bucket tool, then select the grey layer and copy it (you can use Ctrl+C or go to 'Edit' and 'copy') then go to the 3000px canvas and paste (Use Ctrl+V or 'Edit' 'Paste') and the grey square will appear! Then duplicate the grey square as many times as the emotes you have to draw! Let me know if you need anything else!!
I use a gpen brush with outlines on! If you go to layer properties and turn on the outlines everything you'll draw in that layer will have an outline! You can also change the size and color! (this if u use csp)
Hi hi!! I used G-pen and Ri paint brush for lineart, while I used transparent watercolor and dense watercolor for shading! The Ri paint brush one is from a brush pack you can download here if you use csp❤ assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1724552 Idk what happened to the carrd link but you can try with this one🥺hexyraart.carrd.co/ I'll try to fix the one in description too!!
Hiii I love how u draw them Smm how would you do somthing with less detail like I’m trying too do a shark and since there’s no hair and the eyes aren’t super detailed I feel it looks lackluster 😭, just a question if there’s nothing too do I understand 😭, Great video btw
I'm not a designer myself but I want to make my own emotes. Do you have any tips on how I should do this? I understand that it might be a long process but any feedback is appreciated :)
@@ivana4508 To make the layer grey select the grey color on the color wheel, select the bucket tool and fill the layer! To create a new canvas go on file and click 'New...'!
I found this most helpful as I intend to draw chibi art. I have a doubt though. Did you draw it all with a mouse or did you use a drawing tablet? Do you have any basic starting/beginner tips for someone new to CSP? I would really appreciate it.
I use a drawing tablet (HUION KAMWAS 20) I made a video for a good tablet for beginners! ua-cam.com/video/aT0QyYfpqtc/v-deo.html also I suggest you to watch this video I made here of some tips on CSP ua-cam.com/video/0oJ9BJcY3gk/v-deo.html and I'd also say to try the tools to get comfortable with them and to experiment a lot! I don't know if you're a beginner artist as well, if so, the most important thing is to study art fundamentals!
Tysm!! I use dense watercolor and transparent watercolor, i also use a brush from a brush pack I downloaded from Clipstudio Paint assets! It's called Ri brush pack!
@@hexyraart when using the emote template, how do we separate each square into its own canvas? :0 do we just crop the square individually and then paste on the 500x500 canvas?
@@caitlyn86 what I do is I put all layers in a folder for each emote (ex. For hi emote I put all layers so Lineart, base colors and shading in same folder) and I merge the folder so it becomes a single layer, this way I’ll have a layer for each emote, then I select the emote I need to export, I use copy or Ctrl+C, I create a new canvas 500x500px and I paste or Ctrl+V! Sometimes the emote is not centered so I have to move it manually! I hope this helped! Let me know if you need anything else!
@@oldaccountk yeah! I always suggest to go with a non screen tablet first since they're cheaper and beginner friendly! I made a video about XP-Pen Deco MW you can take a look! ua-cam.com/video/aT0QyYfpqtc/v-deo.html
Hii! I'm working on discord emotes atm and I was wondering if this tutorial also applies for discord emotes? Also I wanted to ask what size specifically do you use for the background?(like the white BG u put the gray emote boxes in?) Thank you!!
Hello! Yes it applies for discord emotes too! Discord emote size should be 120px! For the background it depends on how many emotes I’m working on, for this video I used around 3000px I think?? You can always change your canvas size to your liking tho in the edit section!
@@hexyraart ohh so do I have to resize the 500x500 to 120x120 when I'm done or do I use 120x120as my actual emote canvas size then resize it to 32x32?(Because when I searched what size discord emotes are Google said 32x32) btw tysm 4 answering!!
@@lexy_nekogacha4822 you should resize from 500px to 120px! Discord allows emotes from 32px to 128px so I use 120px as standard size for discord emotes!!
@@hexyraart Thank UUU!! One last question, what layer type do you use for the coloring and shading/highlights? BC for some reason my blur/liquify/paint bucket and just some other stuff don't really work on vector layers?? Do I have to enable something? Sorry if I'm being a nuisance I'm really new to this stuff! DD:
@@lexy_nekogacha4822 it’s ok!! Feel free to ask anything!! I use vector layer only for lineart! (Eyes not included) All the other layers (base, shading etc) are raster layer! After I’m done with Lineart I rasterize it! (To raster right click on vector layer and select ‘raster’) Liquify etc work only with raster layers!!
so like if u were commissioned to draw emptes, all u have to send is the emote in png file right? i wanna learn how abt it cos i wanna be a twitch emote artist as well
yes! Use PNG to keep transparency! If you use JPG for example, even if you delete background layer, it's gonna add one once you export! Also PNG is recommended for files destined to be used online!
Hello! I know I answered on Twitch but I'll reply here so other people can see it and find it useful! I use arm movement instead of wrist to draw circles, I swear it's way easier! Grab your pen and move your arm to make a circle! Also practice a bit and you'll be able to make an almost perfect circle!
this video was super helpful! but I have a question about how you export the emote at the end. I tried duplicating the folder and merging all the layers but it messed everything up, is there a different way to do it or did I miss something? TwT
@@hexyraart I am working with multiple emotes on the same canvas and I'm also working with csp but when I tried to do what you said it didn't work for me, when I copied the folder and merged all the layers in it, it just became a mess. I figured out a different way to do it but it's much more complicated then how you explained in the video.
Hii hii, I made some emotes (I was half way but wanted to test them) and did the step for export but for some reason when I paste the emote in a 500 x 500 px file it doesn't paste in the middle and cut half the emote off. (Like some empty space on the top and left side and then the emote is just pushed in the right side and bottom and that side is just cut off.. Sorry I'm bad at explaining) The boxes are also the same size. (what I drew on and where I pasted it) I also tested with some other blocks with random scribbles and they didn't have that (did literally the same so I'm so confused) Maybe you know what I did wrong and how I can prevent this from happening? 🥲 Btw: Your emotes are stunning! Like everything is just *mwah* chef kiss. So clean and so pretty! 💕
Hello! First of all thank you so much for the compliments!!🥺❤️ And this happens to me a lot too! But don’t worry, if it happens move your emote with the cursor and put it in the middle or move with with keyboard arrows till it’s centered!! Idk why this happens sometimes but just move it! The emote is not cut but the parts are just hidden! Try it and let me know if it works🥺
@@hexyraart Thank you for helping and responding it means a lot! 💕Sorry didn't had any emotes anymore to try it on until now. For some reason it cuts and I don't understand why 🥲 After I paste it and it's selected (only the box tho) it doesn't show the other parts that I drew anymore. So I prob have to just cut the canvas to the size or maybe you know what I did wrong?
@@lynniia if you clipped the emote to the gray square, when you paste to a 500px canvas, check if it's still clipped! Click again the clipping button! Cause sometimes it stays clipped and doesn't show cause there's no layer below!
To draw an emote i create a 500x500 px canvas! If I have to work on multiple emotes I create a big canvas (usually bigger than 2000px and paste a grey colored 500x500px layer in it (then I paste it as many times as many emotes I have to draw)
@@hexyraart So I followed this tutorial as best I could but for iPad, however I can't seem to upscale my drawing no matter what... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. 😓
@@Ailana10791 oh! You don’t have to upscale your emote! So, if you have to work on a SINGLE emote, create a new canvas in your art program, the canvas should be 500x500px. Draw your emote and when you’re done delete the background layer and DOWNSCALE it! Downscale manually (decreasing the resolution of the whole canvas) or save the emote in 500x500px (export to png) and use the site I used in this video! You can find the link in the description!

Idk what happened to the carrd link but you can try with this one🥺hexyraart.carrd.co/
I'll try to fix the one in description too!!
Do you do commission work?? Would you be willing to do a set of 8 twitch emotes?
Hi! Sorry for the late reply! I do but my commissions are currently closed, feel free to check my Twitter/VGen for updates!
Hiii I love how u draw them Smm how would you do somthing with less detail like I’m trying too do a shark and since there’s no hair and the eyes aren’t super detailed I feel it looks lackluster 😭, just a question if there’s nothing too do I understand 😭,
Great video btw
hi there sorry for the late reply!! If it's something with less details then you can shade less than I did! Keep it simple, it's still good!
@@hexyraart aagh tysmmm this vid was so helpful too and dww I’m late too the vid so I wasn’t even expecting a response 🫶
I'm not a designer myself but I want to make my own emotes. Do you have any tips on how I should do this? I understand that it might be a long process but any feedback is appreciated :)
THANK YOU A LOT!!! I loved this video, this video is extremely helpful. You just received a new like and sub. Have a wonderful day!!
AHHH OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!;; I'm super glad!!!
I need help! I don't know how to create the layer grey and how to create another canvas. help please
@@ivana4508 To make the layer grey select the grey color on the color wheel, select the bucket tool and fill the layer! To create a new canvas go on file and click 'New...'!
@@hexyraart Again, thank you so much Ms GOD!! I’m staying here FOREVER!!!
@@ivana4508 you're very welcome!!!🥺
thanks you for the help
Thanks for the help. I could make some for my Discord server
Omg I'm so happy it was helpful!!;;
I found this most helpful as I intend to draw chibi art. I have a doubt though. Did you draw it all with a mouse or did you use a drawing tablet? Do you have any basic starting/beginner tips for someone new to CSP? I would really appreciate it.
I use a drawing tablet (HUION KAMWAS 20) I made a video for a good tablet for beginners! ua-cam.com/video/aT0QyYfpqtc/v-deo.html
also I suggest you to watch this video I made here of some tips on CSP ua-cam.com/video/0oJ9BJcY3gk/v-deo.html
and I'd also say to try the tools to get comfortable with them and to experiment a lot! I don't know if you're a beginner artist as well, if so, the most important thing is to study art fundamentals!
your emotes are gorgeous! what pens are you using? where did u get them from? 😍
Tysm!! I use dense watercolor and transparent watercolor, i also use a brush from a brush pack I downloaded from Clipstudio Paint assets! It's called Ri brush pack!
@@hexyraart thank you! appreciate it
Thank you cutie pie
What art program do you use? I have paint tool sai :’)
Clipstudio Paint Pro!
@@hexyraart thank you :)
what program were you drawing with ?
Clipstudio Paint!
Thank you very helpful
You're very welcome!!
from the twitch template, how do you separate the emotes?
Hi! What do you mean?? I think I didn't get it;;
@@hexyraart when using the emote template, how do we separate each square into its own canvas? :0 do we just crop the square individually and then paste on the 500x500 canvas?
@@caitlyn86 what I do is I put all layers in a folder for each emote (ex. For hi emote I put all layers so Lineart, base colors and shading in same folder) and I merge the folder so it becomes a single layer, this way I’ll have a layer for each emote, then I select the emote I need to export, I use copy or Ctrl+C, I create a new canvas 500x500px and I paste or Ctrl+V! Sometimes the emote is not centered so I have to move it manually! I hope this helped! Let me know if you need anything else!
🍒 Dear, i'm curious to know how long you spend time drawing? How many hours? 😊
I spend minimun 4 hours a day! Then it depends if I can continue or not!
Canvas size?
500px each emote!
What app do use and drawing tablet do u use?
I use clipstudio paint and a huion kamvas 20!
@@hexyraart okay do you recommend any other drawing tablet for beginners ?
@@oldaccountk yeah! I always suggest to go with a non screen tablet first since they're cheaper and beginner friendly! I made a video about XP-Pen Deco MW you can take a look! ua-cam.com/video/aT0QyYfpqtc/v-deo.html
thx@@hexyraart
You design this in which software??
Clip Studio Paint!
what program do you use?
Clipstudio Paint!
thanks
Hii! I'm working on discord emotes atm and I was wondering if this tutorial also applies for discord emotes? Also I wanted to ask what size specifically do you use for the background?(like the white BG u put the gray emote boxes in?) Thank you!!
Hello! Yes it applies for discord emotes too! Discord emote size should be 120px!
For the background it depends on how many emotes I’m working on, for this video I used around 3000px I think?? You can always change your canvas size to your liking tho in the edit section!
@@hexyraart ohh so do I have to resize the 500x500 to 120x120 when I'm done or do I use 120x120as my actual emote canvas size then resize it to 32x32?(Because when I searched what size discord emotes are Google said 32x32) btw tysm 4 answering!!
@@lexy_nekogacha4822 you should resize from 500px to 120px! Discord allows emotes from 32px to 128px so I use 120px as standard size for discord emotes!!
@@hexyraart Thank UUU!! One last question, what layer type do you use for the coloring and shading/highlights? BC for some reason my blur/liquify/paint bucket and just some other stuff don't really work on vector layers?? Do I have to enable something? Sorry if I'm being a nuisance I'm really new to this stuff! DD:
@@lexy_nekogacha4822 it’s ok!! Feel free to ask anything!!
I use vector layer only for lineart! (Eyes not included)
All the other layers (base, shading etc) are raster layer! After I’m done with Lineart I rasterize it! (To raster right click on vector layer and select ‘raster’)
Liquify etc work only with raster layers!!
Can you do another tutorial how you draw a Chibi Emote 🥺 I wanna to learn it and your Emotes are so cuuuuuuute
Helloo!! Thank you so much!!;; Can you explain me what do you mean with chibi emotes?? These are already chibi emotes!
@@hexyraart like how you start to draw these. With a circle and how do you do the eyes :D
@@HauntedMiyu I have two more tutorials about how to draw chibis and how I color eyes! You can check those and apply them when you draw emotes!!
so like if u were commissioned to draw emptes, all u have to send is the emote in png file right? i wanna learn how abt it cos i wanna be a twitch emote artist as well
yes! Use PNG to keep transparency! If you use JPG for example, even if you delete background layer, it's gonna add one once you export! Also PNG is recommended for files destined to be used online!
the videos is good yes but i'm just having trouble drawing a single circle
Hello! I know I answered on Twitch but I'll reply here so other people can see it and find it useful!
I use arm movement instead of wrist to draw circles, I swear it's way easier! Grab your pen and move your arm to make a circle! Also practice a bit and you'll be able to make an almost perfect circle!
just draw a white chunk of soy EMOTES SOLVED
LESGO
this video was super helpful! but I have a question about how you export the emote at the end.
I tried duplicating the folder and merging all the layers but it messed everything up, is there a different way to do it or did I miss something? TwT
Hi! Tysm❤️
Are you working on multiple emotes in the same canvas?? Can you explain more in detail?? I’ll try to help!!🥺❤️
@@hexyraart I am working with multiple emotes on the same canvas and I'm also working with csp but when I tried to do what you said it didn't work for me, when I copied the folder and merged all the layers in it, it just became a mess.
I figured out a different way to do it but it's much more complicated then how you explained in the video.
@@snowishelg4796 dm me in discord!! I’ll help you there so you can share me screenshots!!
Is it possible to order emotes from you?
Yes! My commissions are currently closed, you can check my Twitter/VGen for any info!
Hii hii,
I made some emotes (I was half way but wanted to test them) and did the step for export but for some reason when I paste the emote in a 500 x 500 px file it doesn't paste in the middle and cut half the emote off. (Like some empty space on the top and left side and then the emote is just pushed in the right side and bottom and that side is just cut off.. Sorry I'm bad at explaining)
The boxes are also the same size. (what I drew on and where I pasted it) I also tested with some other blocks with random scribbles and they didn't have that (did literally the same so I'm so confused)
Maybe you know what I did wrong and how I can prevent this from happening? 🥲
Btw: Your emotes are stunning! Like everything is just *mwah* chef kiss. So clean and so pretty! 💕
Hello! First of all thank you so much for the compliments!!🥺❤️
And this happens to me a lot too! But don’t worry, if it happens move your emote with the cursor and put it in the middle or move with with keyboard arrows till it’s centered!! Idk why this happens sometimes but just move it! The emote is not cut but the parts are just hidden! Try it and let me know if it works🥺
@@hexyraart Thank you for helping and responding it means a lot! 💕Sorry didn't had any emotes anymore to try it on until now. For some reason it cuts and I don't understand why 🥲 After I paste it and it's selected (only the box tho) it doesn't show the other parts that I drew anymore. So I prob have to just cut the canvas to the size or maybe you know what I did wrong?
@@lynniia if you clipped the emote to the gray square, when you paste to a 500px canvas, check if it's still clipped! Click again the clipping button! Cause sometimes it stays clipped and doesn't show cause there's no layer below!
please tell me this software name where twitch emotes are make .I am waiting for your reply
clip studio paint pro!
What drawing app are u using
Clip Studio Paint!
ty!
you're welcome!!! Hope it was useful!
Program?
Clip Studio Paint!
shes so cute
Thank you!!!!
What size canvas do you use to place your emotes on?
To draw an emote i create a 500x500 px canvas! If I have to work on multiple emotes I create a big canvas (usually bigger than 2000px and paste a grey colored 500x500px layer in it (then I paste it as many times as many emotes I have to draw)
@@hexyraart So I followed this tutorial as best I could but for iPad, however I can't seem to upscale my drawing no matter what... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. 😓
@@Ailana10791 oh! You don’t have to upscale your emote!
So, if you have to work on a SINGLE emote, create a new canvas in your art program, the canvas should be 500x500px. Draw your emote and when you’re done delete the background layer and DOWNSCALE it! Downscale manually (decreasing the resolution of the whole canvas) or save the emote in 500x500px (export to png) and use the site I used in this video! You can find the link in the description!
just curious about the app you're using?
Clip Studio Paint Pro!
interesting 😊
Thank you!❤
