How I do an emote (Patreon)

this is an example I've done for baabuska ( twitch partner streamer ) , she asked me for an article a while ago
the process it's simple

• I am often asked to do the " LUL" emote since it's popular and used by many in the chat 
• I have some samples but some of them they are not looking 100% the same
• since it's like a laughing emote , I try to resemble that emotion 
• I do the base plan movement, then the shape of the character 
• then the line-art - lining 
• then I do the base color for the skin, I focus on that and then I go to hair and other details 
• I do plan on a video for a better view of my work in these ^^ ( my process is the same sort of in each piece I do when I start the color part)

I use https://twitch-contrast.firebaseapp.com/ <- Contrast tool website - easy to test the emotes before being accepted + badges - for visibility in the chat

I hope this is useful for some emote artists <3
