How I Design STICKER SHEETS in Photoshop - EEVEELUTIONS

ASR: en

0:00:00.000,0:00:03.389
hey guys so I don't feel like I'm gonna

0:00:01.740,0:00:04.650
have too much to say during this video

0:00:03.389,0:00:06.990
so I'm probably going to cut between

0:00:04.650,0:00:08.189
music and voice over a few times just

0:00:06.990,0:00:10.019
whenever I feel like there's something I

0:00:08.189,0:00:12.300
need to say so what I'm working on right

0:00:10.019,0:00:14.490
now is a set of stickers and it's the

0:00:12.300,0:00:16.800
different eeveelutions from Pokemon and

0:00:14.490,0:00:19.680
I'm doing this where convention i'm

0:00:16.800,0:00:21.600
going to call northwest fan fest so if

0:00:19.680,0:00:22.590
you live in the Vancouver area I will be

0:00:21.600,0:00:25.289
there and that's actually the only

0:00:22.590,0:00:28.560
convention I got into the artist dalian

0:00:25.289,0:00:30.150
or this year so yeah that's where I'll

0:00:28.560,0:00:32.940
be and it's the only place to help you

0:00:30.150,0:00:35.760
so I have a bunch of prints I need to

0:00:32.940,0:00:37.649
get sent off by the 18th and so I'm

0:00:35.760,0:00:41.219
stressing out because I have hardly

0:00:37.649,0:00:42.420
anything done and I'm going hard i wrote

0:00:41.219,0:00:44.850
out a schedule for this week and it's

0:00:42.420,0:00:47.070
pretty intense pretty much every second

0:00:44.850,0:00:49.140
day i'm doing a print and then some

0:00:47.070,0:00:51.840
sticker designs tossed in there too

0:00:49.140,0:00:55.199
pretty crazy so this is one of my

0:00:51.840,0:00:56.399
sticker sheets and at first I was just

0:00:55.199,0:00:59.670
sketching them out on a piece of paper

0:00:56.399,0:01:02.460
and I just I just refer sketch on paper

0:00:59.670,0:01:04.439
compared to on a computer so that's how

0:01:02.460,0:01:07.080
I do it sometimes and then I scanned the

0:01:04.439,0:01:09.270
paper and brought into Photoshop and I

0:01:07.080,0:01:13.710
outlined it and colored it and then I

0:01:09.270,0:01:15.780
colored the outline so I think that's

0:01:13.710,0:01:17.729
all I really have to say for now for the

0:01:15.780,0:01:20.280
sketching portion so let's just cut some

0:01:17.729,0:01:23.330
music and then I'll come back when we

0:01:20.280,0:01:23.330
bring it into Photoshop

0:02:35.100,0:02:40.350
alright so getting on to the photoshop

0:02:37.350,0:02:42.780
portion i scanned in my drawing and then

0:02:40.350,0:02:45.240
i just decrease the opacity of the

0:02:42.780,0:02:47.010
drawing layer so that it wouldn't be too

0:02:45.240,0:02:50.010
noticeable against the black outlines

0:02:47.010,0:02:52.620
and on the layer on top i'm doing those

0:02:50.010,0:02:55.230
lines and it's all on one layer because

0:02:52.620,0:02:57.740
i don't know it's a simple enough thing

0:02:55.230,0:03:00.420
i can just select the lasso tool to

0:02:57.740,0:03:02.580
bring out each character individually so

0:03:00.420,0:03:04.260
it's just one layer and then i did all

0:03:02.580,0:03:06.240
the coloring on one layer to because it

0:03:04.260,0:03:10.320
was it's really simple stuff you'll see

0:03:06.240,0:03:13.410
it's just it's soft shading and nothing

0:03:10.320,0:03:16.770
too crazy with the colors so that is how

0:03:13.410,0:03:18.660
i did it and later on i'm gonna arrange

0:03:16.770,0:03:21.330
the stickers in their proper

0:03:18.660,0:03:22.920
configuration so right now I'm just

0:03:21.330,0:03:25.500
worrying about coloring it and then I

0:03:22.920,0:03:28.890
merge down the layers use the lasso tool

0:03:25.500,0:03:31.170
to select around each one copy and paste

0:03:28.890,0:03:34.470
it into a special word document which

0:03:31.170,0:03:35.910
I'll go over later and that is how i do

0:03:34.470,0:03:37.320
it i just feel like i should mention

0:03:35.910,0:03:39.840
these steps because i had a couple

0:03:37.320,0:03:43.050
people request that i do a tutorial on

0:03:39.840,0:03:45.450
how i do my sticker designs so this i

0:03:43.050,0:03:47.700
guess is the closest thing you well it

0:03:45.450,0:03:51.990
really it is this is pretty much like a

0:03:47.700,0:03:54.600
tutorial or how i do my stickers so yes

0:03:51.990,0:03:55.890
i prefer to do them to color them

0:03:54.600,0:03:57.840
digitally and outline them digitally

0:03:55.890,0:03:59.790
just because it's more crisp I feel like

0:03:57.840,0:04:02.130
it's just the better way to go with

0:03:59.790,0:04:05.460
stickers you probably could get away

0:04:02.130,0:04:07.350
with doing some stuff by hand but at

0:04:05.460,0:04:09.270
this one step you'll see later you

0:04:07.350,0:04:12.600
really need a clean outline for your

0:04:09.270,0:04:14.340
drawings so it's just easiest just to do

0:04:12.600,0:04:16.620
it digitally and it looks more

0:04:14.340,0:04:18.030
professional and pretty that's actually

0:04:16.620,0:04:20.640
how I like to do my prints for

0:04:18.030,0:04:23.160
conventions to is digitally I might end

0:04:20.640,0:04:25.740
up having some traditional stuff because

0:04:23.160,0:04:28.260
I know some of my lot of my original art

0:04:25.740,0:04:29.580
stuff is traditional but most of the

0:04:28.260,0:04:31.530
stuff I'm going to be doing these next

0:04:29.580,0:04:33.960
couple weeks is going to be digital art

0:04:31.530,0:04:36.390
so I'm not sure what you're getting for

0:04:33.960,0:04:38.130
speedpaints for the next couple weeks I

0:04:36.390,0:04:39.420
mean I'm probably not going to do two

0:04:38.130,0:04:40.980
back-to-back speed paint I do have a

0:04:39.420,0:04:43.440
collab so there's that that one's not

0:04:40.980,0:04:46.260
digital that'll likely be my next video

0:04:43.440,0:04:47.840
is a collab with a certain youtuber

0:04:46.260,0:04:51.150
is it you'll have to wait and find out

0:04:47.840,0:04:53.250
to him and then maybe a digital speed

0:04:51.150,0:04:55.170
paint my other option is to take my

0:04:53.250,0:04:56.520
lineart and you know do a digital

0:04:55.170,0:04:58.320
version for the print and then do a

0:04:56.520,0:05:01.280
traditional version for the video but i

0:04:58.320,0:05:05.730
don't know if i have time for that so

0:05:01.280,0:05:07.650
who knows so just a note about coloring

0:05:05.730,0:05:10.350
the lineart in order to do that what I

0:05:07.650,0:05:12.390
did was I created a new layer on top of

0:05:10.350,0:05:15.000
the line art and then if you hold down

0:05:12.390,0:05:18.120
the alt button and click on the crack

0:05:15.000,0:05:21.120
between the two layers it will create a

0:05:18.120,0:05:24.960
clipping group so or clipping mask I on

0:05:21.120,0:05:27.060
now let's go but your top layer when you

0:05:24.960,0:05:29.130
color on it it only lets you color on

0:05:27.060,0:05:31.740
areas that have previously been colored

0:05:29.130,0:05:33.450
on the layer below it so it makes it so

0:05:31.740,0:05:35.760
you only color on the line art your

0:05:33.450,0:05:38.040
other option would be to select the line

0:05:35.760,0:05:39.270
art and color it but I don't like doing

0:05:38.040,0:05:43.050
that because when you make a selection

0:05:39.270,0:05:44.910
the edges are actually jagged and it you

0:05:43.050,0:05:47.550
can actually see a bit of the original

0:05:44.910,0:05:50.610
color on the app omni it's like a really

0:05:47.550,0:05:52.500
thin outline and it's just the sliver of

0:05:50.610,0:05:55.200
color that remains and the edges aren't

0:05:52.500,0:05:59.400
clean so I don't like that I think doing

0:05:55.200,0:06:01.070
this masking method is a lot better so

0:05:59.400,0:06:03.840
that's what I'm doing and then I also

0:06:01.070,0:06:05.910
wait I guess I do this after so I merge

0:06:03.840,0:06:07.980
the layers I use a lasso tool to select

0:06:05.910,0:06:09.450
around each character I copy and paste

0:06:07.980,0:06:12.210
them into a different Photoshop file

0:06:09.450,0:06:13.860
that is a template provided by bespoke

0:06:12.210,0:06:15.690
print which is where i'm getting my

0:06:13.860,0:06:17.280
stickers done but i'm not going to talk

0:06:15.690,0:06:18.930
about that too much because i'm going to

0:06:17.280,0:06:23.160
be talking about that printing service

0:06:18.930,0:06:25.680
in a future video so yay and then once i

0:06:23.160,0:06:27.660
have them copy and pasted over i arrange

0:06:25.680,0:06:29.850
them how I want them to appear on the

0:06:27.660,0:06:33.420
sticker sheet and once they're all

0:06:29.850,0:06:36.390
arranged I merge the layers again and I

0:06:33.420,0:06:38.400
double click the layer to bring up layer

0:06:36.390,0:06:42.390
styles or whatever that thing is called

0:06:38.400,0:06:44.460
I forget everything and i add a stroke

0:06:42.390,0:06:46.620
and i add a white stroke and I just

0:06:44.460,0:06:48.540
eyeball the thickness to be something I

0:06:46.620,0:06:50.460
like and that's how I get the white

0:06:48.540,0:06:53.010
outline around the sticker and then I

0:06:50.460,0:06:54.330
have to tweak my spacing again because

0:06:53.010,0:06:56.430
sometimes after you at the White House

0:06:54.330,0:06:58.860
and stickers are touching again so I

0:06:56.430,0:07:02.400
redo the spacing and I didn't actually

0:06:58.860,0:07:04.620
get my spacing to ideal because I wanted

0:07:02.400,0:07:07.080
there to be a title at the top of the

0:07:04.620,0:07:09.120
sticker sheet but in order to do that

0:07:07.080,0:07:12.030
I'd have to scale down my stickers and I

0:07:09.120,0:07:14.310
i liked the size i had the mat so my

0:07:12.030,0:07:16.949
title is half on one side half on the

0:07:14.310,0:07:19.500
other side so it's you know it's not

0:07:16.949,0:07:21.330
perfect but and my and the characters

0:07:19.500,0:07:24.000
aren't in the order i wanted them i sort

0:07:21.330,0:07:26.400
of wanted them in the order that they

0:07:24.000,0:07:28.199
were they're released with evie being in

0:07:26.400,0:07:30.090
the middle because there's nine of them

0:07:28.199,0:07:32.129
so it works perfect three by three but I

0:07:30.090,0:07:34.979
couldn't actually fit them that nicely

0:07:32.129,0:07:36.599
because some were too wide so i had to

0:07:34.979,0:07:38.729
play around with things and get it to

0:07:36.599,0:07:41.039
work and finally i figured out something

0:07:38.729,0:07:43.259
that worked and i added a background and

0:07:41.039,0:07:45.960
just a note about the template is you

0:07:43.259,0:07:50.009
have to have everything that is a

0:07:45.960,0:07:51.449
sticker inside the most inner line but

0:07:50.009,0:07:53.340
you want your background to extend to

0:07:51.449,0:07:55.110
the most outer line so that there's that

0:07:53.340,0:07:57.419
margin where the paper can be cut

0:07:55.110,0:07:59.430
without accidentally leaving a white gap

0:07:57.419,0:08:01.229
or without accidentally cutting into

0:07:59.430,0:08:03.629
your artwork that's why templates are

0:08:01.229,0:08:05.940
important and having proper margins are

0:08:03.629,0:08:09.240
important so that's why I do this and

0:08:05.940,0:08:11.969
this these stickers will be roughly the

0:08:09.240,0:08:15.779
size of a 4 x 6 photo there a 6 ish

0:08:11.969,0:08:18.270
stickers so yeah and you'll see some

0:08:15.779,0:08:20.039
stickers in person coming soon in that

0:08:18.270,0:08:21.479
video that i mentioned where i talk

0:08:20.039,0:08:23.550
about the printing services and

0:08:21.479,0:08:25.589
everything so yeah now you're actually

0:08:23.550,0:08:27.029
seeing me arrange this them i had to

0:08:25.589,0:08:31.169
talk about in advance though cuz part

0:08:27.029,0:08:35.370
flies by so fast but that is my little

0:08:31.169,0:08:38.159
Evie sticker sheet and that's how i do

0:08:35.370,0:08:40.649
my sticker sheets in photoshop so thanks

0:08:38.159,0:08:46.050
for watching you guys next week most

0:08:40.649,0:08:48.510
likely that collab so woohoo sorry it's

0:08:46.050,0:08:50.010
5am right actually it's five-fifteen am

0:08:48.510,0:08:52.649
whoops kind of doing this video last

0:08:50.010,0:08:55.410
minute I usually don't do that but this

0:08:52.649,0:08:56.970
week's been crazy so listen to my voice

0:08:55.410,0:09:00.690
it's getting like all man boys who

0:08:56.970,0:09:03.000
anyway thanks for watching adults see

0:09:00.690,0:09:06.070
you guys in my next video

0:09:03.000,0:09:08.260
one more quick note i did add mouths at

0:09:06.070,0:09:09.970
the very end because when i zoomed out

0:09:08.260,0:09:11.740
their noses looked like mouths and it

0:09:09.970,0:09:15.270
bothered me so i had to add actual mouth

0:09:11.740,0:09:15.270
so people wouldn't be confused

0:09:37.360,0:09:39.420
you
