Warning: File size is fairly gigantic.
Well, seeing as how I had a tutorial for GIMP emoticon animations, I figured I'd make an actual emoticon tutorial. This is a beginners tutorial, and the likelihood of me teaching more complicated colouring styles, how to colour and how not to colour, and things like that is fairly minimal. Be happy with what you have, people. (Oh, and this one has a prettier layout than the last one.  )The tutorial covers programs, outlines, two colouring styles, and hands. And again, this is just a simple tutorial. Build off and learn from it; I recommend any new emoticonist that REALLY feels comfortable with the above two colouring styles to try their own; make more complicated symbols and gradually make your way to something unique to yourself. And if you make an emote with the help of this tutorial, don't be afraid to show and tell. :D I'd love to see 'em. ^__^ Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you for the DD, =davebold370 and ^Hanratty-Stock! Daily DeviationGiven 2009-01-19davebold370 said - Emoticon Tutorial by =12hc12 For us gimp users this is an amazing tutorial for pixel art work. Simple and very effectively put is what you will find here. Also the colouring of the image itself helps the reader read the page without any kind of distraction due to colours. I am now on my way to create some funny emotes thanks to this tutorial. (Suggested by =davebold370 and Featured by ^Hanratty-Stock) |

 reports, 1d 2h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
