Making emoticons can bring in "after-sleep income", and it is true. The threshold is very low, you do not need to be a professional painter, you do not need to have any identity certification, you do not need to have more skilled software skills and capabilities, the tool does not require a cell phone computer tablet can be, you only need to draw you want to draw to do you like, the emoticon uploaded to wait for other people to download the use and appreciation, although it will not make you rich, but every day there is the joy of the accounts, imagine it is very happy~<

For me, I'm lucky that painting is both my hobby and my job

Many people have learned some specialties since they were young, and it's very common for them to take courses similar to learning how to paint, vocalize, or dance. I was also exposed to sketching when I was small, but at that time for me, black and white painting, lifeless plaster body is not attractive to me, so hang on to study for a year after also can not escape the fate of giving up. Later, when I went to high school, I especially liked the illustrations of books and magazines, as well as all kinds of novel covers of handsome men and women, so I tried to copy and draw, and slowly realized that my foundation was really too weak, so I went back to systematic study of painting after school. I also chose my favorite design major in college, and took advantage of the school to get a senior teacher's license. So for me, everything comes from love.

What I teach at work can't be whatever I want it to be, but what I paint after work, I can give it the look I want it to have. People always have to finish the road they need to take before they can take the road they want to take, so when I get home I can pick up the tablet and start drawing~

I use procreate, which is only available for Apple tablets, and it costs money to download. There are many brushes on it, which means it can express many forms, such as sketching, oil painting, ink and watercolor, and so on. A tablet can solve all the problems of raw materials, but also easier to carry around, convenient for the little ones to come to the inspiration of the time to record and draw.

Emoticons are simply a great stage for craftsmen like me to 'lay down their money', okay?

Young people have always been a variety of cute and sand sculpture emoticons, WeChat's emoticons from time to time to reach the upper limit needs to be deleted to replace the point, but there are times when you can not find the right emoticon to express, which inspired me to an idea, then why do not I draw it? It's not like I don't have the skill!

So I logged on to the WeChat emoji platform to check this out, and found that it's really friendly to vegetarians like me. First of all, uploading doesn't require too much complicated identity (some sites require proof of studio, etc.), as long as you have WeChat, real-name authentication and tied to a bank card. Secondly, every step of uploading has a detailed text explanation, do a step to read a little can be, completely suitable for easy to forget things like me bald girl operation. The last thing that makes me happy is that if you receive a reward, there is absolutely no processing fee! That is to say someone rewarded you ten dollars, your WeChat can receive ten dollars the next day, there is no middleman to earn the difference in price, and as long as you uploaded, the later will not need to worry too much, just put it there. Of course, if you can properly publicize, so that more people see it, will be more people use favorite as well as reward. Isn't this the perfect stage for you to showcase your talent and make a buck in the process?

The first set of emoticons - Tiger's daily life - took me 20 days to make a set of 24 (you can only choose between 16 or 24). In the beginning, you have to determine one or two fixed images, set a theme, such as sand sculpture or cute, and then target the crowd, daily general or specific crowd, such as: students/couples, in the refinement of the design scheme and then go to determine the key words and character action.

I made a dynamic emoticon, a cute little white tiger. The inspiration for this little white tiger came from the fact that when I was in college, I held a newborn tiger at the zoo, and the king of the beasts that was so intimidating became a gentle kitten in my palm, which was so cute. So I took out the photos from my album, and after some simple exaggerations and deformations, Dafu was born. During the production process, the most difficult thing for me is the smoothness and articulation of the animation. Sometimes I would think of the action in my head all night long, then break it down into one picture, and then draw it out and make it into an animation. For those who have studied animation design, it's not difficult to make a small animation, but for me, a non-animation professional, how to make the action smooth and cute is a huge problem, in the whole production process, I'm not so strong in my own ability to produce aesthetics is not bad people, it's more like a game of their own and their own will, like a building is constantly pushed down and then remodeled process.

Preliminary perseverance, then you can lie flat and wait for after-sleep income. The first set of Tiger Dafu daily on the day of the line I was very apprehensive, sent a circle of friends to tell my friends, my emoticons on the line, when the comments liked not much, I thought that my friends did not pay attention to the heart of the expectation is not high, but the next day when WeChat direct collection of 777.84 yuan, my whole person in the office is simply happy to fly. Slowly, your WeChat will receive incoming money every morning, sometimes a few dollars, sometimes more than a dozen dollars, basically a switch to open my happy day. The first set of emoticons to answer this question until is harvested a good 1298 yuan.

Later I made a second set of Tiger Dafu couples, I think than the first set of more dynamic and lovely, the action is also a lot of smooth. After released to the small red book, is also harvested fans and a lot of people to try and ask questions, I also have the patience to answer, to help others feel very good.

Of course, some people ask me, this is to rely on others to reward, in fact, can not earn much money, right? First of all, I think the mentality is very important, first: this thing is because they like to do, and tell others up this is their own painting, really proud. Second: this is my side business, will not be as stable as the main business income to make ends meet, the use of my fragmented time to do what I like, not only get the recognition of the way to earn a little money, healthy and happy, why not? The third and unexpected blessing was that I was actually seen! I received a design project from a company for my side hustle, and I helped them draw a guide map for their small program and made emoticons. Because of this, my side hustle brought me more money than my main hustle at the time.

The production of WeChat emoticons, I think it is suitable for people who have art background or love to draw, if it is an animation major, it is even more like a tiger with wings. Because you like to draw, when you encounter small difficulties or even want to give up, you like things, will have more power to persist. Want to get started in the beginning of the white can actually contact the static, relatively simple too much, it is equivalent to you to use a flat panel to draw 24 small paintings, painted into what does not matter, do not have too much psychological burden, some people like cute, some people like strange, there are always people who understand that you like you, and so on you are familiar with the later, like it, then you can try to do the flat panel of dynamic emoticon packages, and then a little bit of advancement can be used in a computer with a more The more advanced you are, the more professional software you can use in your computer. Slowly you will find emoticons, illustrations, wallpapers, there is so much space worthy of you to show yourself, at this time the joy is no longer just from making money. I hope that everyone who works hard in life will reap the benefits of recognition and peace of mind after paying for it!
