Wondering how to draw your own emotes with an iPad Air/Pro and Procreate?
I started off drawing digital art on an iPad Air (refurbished) and an Apple Pen. Procreate was a more affordable drawing platform for me and it took a while to learn, but now I can draw emotes and upload them to Twitch and be able to use them within a short time period! Emotes can be hard to draw and the sizing can sometimes be a bit iffy but if I learned how to draw them, so can you!
In this video, I share with you how I draw Twitch emotes and how I size them to ensure that the quality of my original drawing retains when you resize these images down to fit the Twitch requirements for emotes.
Let me know in the comments if this video was useful and if you have other questions about procreate, digital art or emotes!
Sorry if the order and tutorial is a little wonky and hard to follow – it’s my first tutorial and video ever so all feedback is welcome! ❤️
