Hi! @velvetcloak asked me to do some kind of lineart tutorial/step-by-step, I'm by no means an expert so don't hesitate to ask if you need some things clarified! Always glad to help.

I use three different methods that are pretty much trial and error, depending on what works best for the artwork but I'll do my best to explain with screenshots - these were taken on photoshop, I draw with procreate, but I'm guessing the layer modes are similar on other softwares. (Also mine are set in french, sorry in advance for the confusion.)

If you're already familiar with digital lineart and softwares, this probably won't be of much use, it's very basic stuff.

Otherwise, more below the cut! (It got a bit long.)

I. Solid black lineart, with this illustration used as reference.

I used the basic gesinski ink brush in procreate, 100% opacity in normal mode to get pure black. Very basic, it's set on top of the colour layers, everything above that is just additional effects and filters + textures. Note that I always draw separate elements on different layers and fuse them later, it's easier to deal with details this way. The isolated layer looks like this (I changed the colour of a disappearing hair lock, more on this later):

And the colours without it, like this (my style relies heavily on lineart, lol):

Both:

Good! It's a bit harsh though, I like to add a second layer to soften things up, set in 45% opacity multiply mode right under that. I duplicate the main lineart, and add a gaussian blur to the copied layer (between 3 and 5px, values vary from one artwork to another, same with the layer modes.)

Not done yet! I use the blured lineart as a colour filter by locking it to pixels only and filling it with the tone I want. In this case, red. Isolated layer:

And the end result:

The second method, I tend to use more on sketches and loose drawings to get a better blend of lineart and colours:

II. Semi-transparent lineart, with one of these sketches.

Basic 6B brush in procreate (my fav), quite thin here but you can get great results with a larger brush. It's not really obvious looking at this scale, so here's a comparison between a black solid lineart (1 layer, normal 100% - the scars are on a separate layer because of the colour, otherwise it's the same setting) and a semi-transparent one (2 layers), especially visible in lighter areas, note how the second one lets hues show through. I find this to look a bit less stiff.

Now for the method! Since this relies on the layers underneath, you want your colours to a bit more precise than the previous example. Without lineart:

TBH it's also a two layers solution, super easy. Once you're statisfied with your basic lineart, set the layer to overlay 100%. You'll get something like this:

Then duplicate this layer, put the copied layer above the overlay one and set it to normal 70% (or whatever looks best, this is 67%) and you'll get the final result as previously shown! In this particuliar case, I erased the black circle around the iris in the normal mode layer to keep the blue of the overlay one. You could also skip step two depending on the desired rendering.

The third method is a blend of the other two result-wise:

III. Coloured lineart, with this illustration. (tw: a bit of gore and blood in the full artwork, I'll crop it out of the screenshots. Poor guy can't get a break. It's the only file in this style with a semblant of organization, don't be like me, rename your layers and use folders.)

Fountain pen toothy brush, from the MaxPack watercolor set. It has a bit of a texture to it, and isn't entirely opaque so it blends nicely with the layers below. The lineart is set to normal 100%, for this method it's preferable to have separate layers for each elements, since you'll be recolouring them individually. Here, the hands, skull and additional details are all on individual layers.

Just like the blurred layer in the first method, you need to lock your pixels (the little grid to the left on photoshop):

And either fill you layer with colour, or paint on it with an opaque round brush/a soft one depending on the desired outcome. (Some zones might need a gradient, or various colours.) You can also use another normal layer on top of a black lineart and set it as a clipping mask, same result, different method. But I prefer to keep the layers count to a minimum when possible. With the layers below, it will look like this:

You can notice a bit of lineart transparency over the skull colour layer, cool stuff. (The shading of the skin is set on top for some reason, I don't remember why but surely there was a reason.) However! In this illustration, I need a yellow glow for the fire so let's create yet another layer, shall we? This affects the whole rendering. I painted a diffuse light source using a soft gradient brush, and set the layer to hard light. Isolated layer:

End result:

All done!

Now go create!

#hope this was at least a bit helpful :')#digital line art

You’re icons are so pretty please teach me your ways

hi! i know i’m seriously really late with my reply (sorry, sorry, and sorry again).i’m glad you think so and thank you very much!i suck at explaining stuff so, making a tutorial? truly not the best idee but i will try to give some good pointers. i’m sure you’ll find something helpful in making your own icons :)

i apologize in advance but i just am not great at tutorials but let’s give it a shot.

you’ll need:

photoshop (i’ll be using cs5)

basic photoshop knowledge

a base coloring/psd you wanna use

okay. well, first we got choose a image/screencap you’ll like to use for making your icon. as i’ve finshed making lately a star wars icon pack i’m gonna show you how to make icon from one of my sw stock images like this one:

it’s quite easy to find nice images to use with a quick google search or sites like pinterest just like i did with this picture. but we need to also make sure that they are in decent quality. i make my icons 150x150, that’s why i have to crop this pic to that size (you can use other one that you like). i want my icon only with natalie in it so i’ll make it look like this now:

now since the picture is light enough for me i’m gonna start on making the background. i’ll make first the light version and then i’ll tell you how to easily change it dark… now we’ve got to make a new empty layer above the one we have. got it? so let’s fill the background around her (but no to close) with brush tool (color #ededed), hard edges at a size around 20px and a hardness 100% but a small tip: in this process i do a lot of changes for the brush size, and you shouldn’t feel constricted to use the same dimensions as me. like with the next step, i changed them for the small details around her hair, to size 5px (hardness the same) and zoom in to 400%, so i can paint close to her hair and give it shape. that’s how my icon looks right now:

the picture looks a bit blurry so next, we probably should give it some sharpness. i smart sharpen it with the same setting i’m using on most of my gifs: filter > sharpen > smart sharpen: amount - 500%, radius - 0,3px and select more accurate. when that’s done we can add a psd of our choice. i’m using here one of @odairannies psd that i’ve edited a bit, and i drag it over between the two layers i already have and that’s what i got:

that’s how we reached the point where our icon looks pale but is still in colorful aesthetic. if you want it to be black and white just add a hue/saturation layer and turn the saturation in it to -100.

and now as i’ve promised, i’ll tell you how to easily change the light version of the background to dark. to make that happen just add a hue/saturation layer above the background layer we’ve made with brush and turn it into a clipping mask. go to the adjustments and change the lightness to -100. bam! we easily made the light background turn dark and look like this:

as you can see that would be it. so by the end of this icon making process your layers should look like this:

well to tie this tutorial up here’s a few final tips:

remember to choose pictures with good quality

if you use a dark image remember to brighten it up a bit but not too much and if it looks grainy either turn the brightness down/make the icon with black background or don’t do the icon at all because if you overdo it you’ll ruin the quality

when you’re not sure in your photoshop skills use at first brush with soft edges to outline the person in your icon so it looks softer ‘cause if you’re hand is not steady and you try to make a defined outline it’ll be noticeable when you do it wrong

change the brush size to fit your needs. use smaller ones to better outlines the part around face/hair and other little details.

when you start brushing the background make sure it’s on a new layer, that way you can easily touch up a mistake if you erase too much of the original image. also later you can qucikly change the background from light to dark.

whatever after making the background or before saving the icon, you need to add some sharpness to the image otherwise it would look too blurry

if you need more brightness in your image add an adjustment layer called levels or simply duplicate your original image and change the layer setting from normal to screen/ if it’s too bright change the setting to multiply or soft light

if the background needs to stay in the same color you choose than always add the psd between it and the original picture otherwise if you add it on top of those layers the psd might change the colour of the background.

i do hope at least half of that made some sense to you guys. but if something is not clear enough and you have some questions, please feel free to let me know. remember that all it takes to make a good icon is a nice picture, lots of patience, some time and most of all practice, practice, practice. i’d love for you to like this ask if you’ve followed this tutorial and found it useful ♥♥♥ good luck!

#inbox #anonymous #icon tutorial #ps related #ugh this is a mess #but i seriously tried #resources #i'm sure others explain this process better but oh well #*tutorial

krita pixel art tips

I had a pixel art class (our teacher, Alexandre de la Serna, is part of Haunted Tie, they’re making a really cool pixel art fighting game); the class was about photoshop, but I translated it for Krita (I’m really proud, there was nothing photoshop could do that krita couldn’t); here are the tips he gave, plus a few krita-specific things I discovered while using it; I included a few very basic things at the beginning, but you can just skip to the rest if you’re used to krita:

Krita pixel art shortcuts:

1) general shortcuts for complete beginners 2) pixel art tips: sharp-edged everything 3) using tiles: making your own tiles and applying them on a large space 4) animation tips: drawing/erasing on several frames at once

(I put it under the cut because it’s pretty long)

GENERAL SHORTCUTS FOR COMPLETE BEGINNERS (scroll down to see the more advanced stuff):

- B: brush; E: eraser (E again: go back to the previous mode) (click B or E once) - Ctrl-LeftClick when using the brush: pick the color you clicked on. - X: change between primary and secondary color (click X once) - palette: Settings>Docker>Palette; or in the color selection (or RightClick anywhere on the canvas); it remembers the 10 or so last colours used (you can change how many in Settings>Configure Krita>Color Selector Settings>Color History>Max Patches) - T: move selection (or layer or group of layers depending on your Tool Options settings) - Ctrl-T: modify selection - sharp-edged selection: in the contiguous selection tool (the wand icon), have fuzziness at 0; in the Fill tool, you'll probably want threshold at 0 so it only selects that one precise colour you're clicking on (and "feathering radius" too); ALSO ALWAYS HAVE ANTI-ALIASING OFF in all the tools when you're doing pixel art. And when something doesn't go your way, check the Tools Options (Seetings>Dockers>Tool options), that's very likely where your solution is. - F: fill tool (paint bucket icon) (you can use it with the "similar colour selection tool", with the "Fill entire selection" option of the Fill tool activated, to change all pixels of one colour to another)

MORE PIXEL ART-RELATED, ALSO MAYBE LESS WELL-KNOWN TIPS

- To have a sharp-edged brush, tick "sharpness" in the brush editor (fourth icon in top horizontal bar; don't forget to save by clicking "overwrite preset" or "save to preset"). - Sometimes you may want a real-size view of your work: go to Window>new Window; in that new window: Window>new View>nameOfYourFile (also: 1: zoom 100%, and Tab: remove the menus and strip down your window to only the canvas); I've seen it make krita crash on some computers, though, so if this happens for you, you know where to look to make it stop. - V (with the brush): make a straight line (with V pressed down, clic and drag to make your line); Shift-V: constraint the line to the X, Y or diagonal axis. - for sharp-edged resize and modifications: (with Ctrl-T or when resizing the image, like for showing on the internet): choose the filter "Box"

USING TILES

Did you know you could make your own tiles? Like, for a whole meadow, you just need one tile of grass, you select the whole area, and fill it with the tile repeating automatically? - Making a tile: Select your tile (Ctrl-R: rectangle selection tool), go to the patterns (second icon on the horizontal bar at the top), Custom Patterns Tab, Current Layer, Update, then Use as pattern, or Add to predefined patterns if you're gonna use it often. (you can also use tiles for brushes btw) - Using your tile: Then select the area you want your tile repeating over, use the Fill tool (F) with "use pattern" checked (in the Tool Options tab), click once, and that's done! If you want more variation, whatever, just add a few different tiles on another layer, easy-peasy.

ANIMATION TIPS

When you're animating, and you copy-paste then merge parts of layers as part of your usual workflow, you have to remember to check all frames; usually you just need to add a new frame just after the current one (and maybe as first image too), so your pasted drawing only merges with that one frame of the animation instead of staying there unchanged through the whole animation. Just remember to think of the whole animation, not just the frame you're working on. But then, it means you can use this to your advantage: - Let's say I just realized I had an ugly useless pixel (or several) left over on all of my animated frames (and that doesn’t move, or only on a limited area). I can remove it from all frames at once: make a new layer, paint over what you want to erase, put the layer in "erase" mode, play your animation once slowly to check that it is as you want on all images, and merge with layer below (Ctrl-E) (the merging is optional, actually, but if you have lots of layers and are sure you hate what you erase, just do it). Now what if I actually need that ugly pixel on, like, four frames? Well, I can just animate my eraser layer. On the first frame I need it, I click "New frame" on the eraser layer so it'll be empty, then I copy my eraser frame on the next frame I don't need it.

Gmail - Everything You Should Know About It

Everyone cherishes Google (at any rate that is what I think), and imagine a scenario where you include all the best Google has into an email account. You have one extraordinary email account named Googlemail, or in straightforward words Gmail. Gmail was first propelled on 31 of March, 2004. At its dispatch Gmail was running in beta mode and you can have account just on the off chance that you have welcome from existing client. I was welcomed by a companion and I keep the ball rolling. I got 50 welcomes when I have my record and I come up short on them with hardly a pause in between. Nowadays its free and anybody can have it in fast and simple advances like 1, 2, 3. Gmail was the first in giving 1 GB free space to email, around then both Hotmail and hurray were putting forth 10 MB or so with the expectation of complimentary records. Gmail got some extremely extraordinary highlights and one should know everything to appreciate Gmail taking care of business. I will attempt my level best to clarify as much as I can about Gmail from my own understanding and expectation that this article will may assist you with using Gmail all the more productively.

Highlights:

I have been utilizing Gmail for more than 4 years now and I am unquestionably infatuated with it. I used to have various records on Yahoo and Hotmail before I changed from them to Gmail and trust it or not I never returned. Why? Since Gmail got some awesome highlights that make me begin to look all starry eyed at it. Scarcely any highlights I cherished most are spam, quick, clear and easy to understand interface, worked in visit, worked in spell checker and programmed draft sparing. Gmail got incredible spam inclusion and I barely get spam email in my inbox. Gmail uses AJAX dynamic substance for quick updates. I have recorded down a few highlights and their utilization in detail underneath.

Marks

First how about we examine Gmail's Labels. Names are utilized to arrange an email. It is somewhat subset of envelopes, that implies Labels got everything that online organizer can have, in addition to it got something extraordinary as well. You can allocate your own characterized Labels either physically or by Filters (to perceive how channel works Click Link3 underneath). When you have Labels alloted you can see them on left half of Gmail under Gmail's default connects in marks section, and when you tap on particular Label, Gmail shows messages those under that Label.

In the event that you ever have encountered with overseeing messages in organizer you realized that email can be in just a single envelope at any given moment. So what would you be able to do in the event that you need one email to be set in at least two organizers? Gmail has answer for it, suppose you have two Labels one is "School mates" and other is "colleagues", now you got a mail from someone who is your collaborator and additionally your school mate, at that point you can relegate the two marks on same email and access that specific email under every one of those Labels.

At the present time you probably won't think that its exceptionally valuable and existing, however in long run you will perceive how this could be useful, particularly in the event that you are managing expansive number of messages.

Channels

Channels are one of the coolest and one of my most loved highlights that Gmail brings to the table. In the event that you setup Filters legitimately, they can give genuine straightforwardness in email administration. Channels help you sparing time and space with regards to undesirable messages in your inbox, and acquaint you with multi-usefulness of Gmail. For more points of interest on Filters include click link3 underneath.

Visit

Gmail gives you one more noteworthy component that is talk with your companions utilizing Gmail. Presently Google reported that Gmail talk will work with AOL's visit benefit AIM. So now Gmail clients can login into their AIM accounts through Gmail talk. Gmail visit let u send message notwithstanding when the contact is disconnected and those messages will show up in your inbox as a message. You can make yourself on the web/disconnected whenever with simply single tick. Your AIM contacts get an AIM symbol in visit window so you can recognize Gmail companions and companions from AIM.

Console alternate ways

I for one want to work with alternate way keys whether I am taking a shot at my plan work (Photoshop, streak and so on) or simply doing straightforward working framework work, I get a kick out of the chance to do with easy route keys. Almost certainly alternate way keys increment effectiveness of the client and increment efficiency by sparing bunches of time that you need to spend doing same things physically.

Gmail have that astonishing component of console easy routes, to make it work first you need to empower it. Tap on the Settings interface at the upper right of the website page, General tab will open. Search for Keyboard Shortcuts, and after that tap on the Keyboard Shortcuts on radio catch. Presently console easy routes are empowered and you can utilize them in a flash. For more subtle elements on console alternate ways clicks here.

Sending and POP/IMAP

This choice is for the individuals who get a kick out of the chance to forward their sends from Gmail to another framework, similar to Yahoo or Hotmail or might be even to another Gmail account. To forward your email, discover the Forwarding segment and tap the radio catch by "Forward a duplicate of approaching mail. To "Make a point to include the email address you need the email be sent to", Then, you need to choose in the event that you'd jump at the chance to keep a duplicate in your Gmail framework or erase them from Gmail. Once you've made your choice, click "Spare Changes" and you are finished.

On the off chance that you need to download your Google sends utilizing Outlook or Thunderbird, you have to empower POP. Select either Enable POP for all mail or simply Enable POP for all mail starting now and into the foreseeable future. At that point, you need to choose on the off chance that you'd jump at the chance to keep a duplicate in your Gmail framework or erase them from Gmail. Directions on the best way to set up your email customer (like Outlook or Thunderbird) can be found in detail by clicking "Arrangement guidelines" and picking which email customer you have. Once you've made your determination, click "Spare Changes" and you are finished.

The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is a standout amongst the most predominant Internet standard conventions for email recovery. All advanced email customers and mail servers bolster this convention as a mean of exchanging email messages from a server. To empower an IMAP association, you have to empower IMAP. Directions on the most proficient method to set up your email customer (like Outlook or Thunderbird) can be found in detail by clicking "Design guidelines" and picking which email customer you have. Once you've made your choice, click "Spare Changes" and you are finished.

Web Clips

Web cuts are an one-line rundown of custom RSS channels. You can utilize at least one of the RSS data that Google has in its little catalog. You can pick your most loved stuff from accessible classes on bring down left. The accessible classifications are.

News

Business

Way of life

Games

Tech

Fun

Imagine a scenario in which you need to include you possess RSS channels. Straightforward compose your RSS channel into content box and snap Search. Tap on "Include" and now, when you return to your normal Gmail pages, you'll see along the best the most recent news from the site or locales you've arranged, including my Hubpage.

Labs

Gmail labs are where you can discover extremely cool little additional items. Maybe a couple of them are made by Google engineer(s) and few made on well known interest from Gmail clients. These highlights are trial; they are here on the grounds that they aren't prepared for appropriate discharge at this moment. Thus anybody of that component can be changed, quit working or essentially vanish from lab whenever. On the off chance that you are utilizing any component recorded here and for reasons unknown it's not working you may going to confront issue stacking your inbox. According to Google exhortation there is a break bring forth that you can see when you go to lab page.

Subjects

Subject is shading plan. You gmail login�� can browse any given topic or you can even make you claim. Simply ahead and attempt this, its quite basic and can improve Gmail looking in a split second.

We call them Snapchat hacks because many of the app’s best features are either hidden or just not intuitive. We’re looking at you, Tint Brush. But if you can learn these tricks you’ll have a powerful new arsenal of tools to help take your brand’s Snap game to the next level.

In this guide we’ll teach you how to access these lesser-known features, and uncover a few more tricks that are available only after manipulating the settings on your device.

Text, drawing and editing Snapchat hacks

1. Draw in impressive detail by turning on your phone’s zoom feature

If you fancy yourself more of a da Vinci than a doodler, then this Snapchat hack is for you.

How to do it on iOS

Go to Settings

Select General

Tap Accessibility

Under the Vision section, enable Zoom

Select Show Controller

Choose your Zoom Region preference (Window or Full Screen)

Set Maximum Zoom Level to 15x

How to do it on Android

Go to Settings

Select Accessibility

Tap Vision

Tap Magnification Gestures

Enable Zoom

Using Snapchat on a tablet, where the screen is much larger, is another helpful trick for creating intricate masterpieces. Draw with a stylus to really impress people with your works of art.

2. Apply up to 3 filters on a single Snap

Add a sepia filter, broadcast your location, and the current temperature all at the same time!

How to do it

Take a picture in the app as you would normally

Swipe across the screen and choose your first filter

Once you’ve landed on the one you want, hold your thumb anywhere on the screen to secure the first filter in place

Now use your free hand to swipe through the other filters

Once you’ve chosen your second filter, lift your thumb off the screen for a moment before tapping and holding it down again.

Now you’re ready to start swiping and choose a third filter

If you’re not happy with your combo, simply swipe right to delete all three filters and return to your unfiltered image.

3. Turn an emoji into a colorful filter

May we suggest ?

How to do it

Choose an emoji with your desired color

Move it toward a corner of your screen

Increase its size and continue to shove it in the corner—the pixelated, semi transparent edge will serve as the filter

If you’re feeling particularly adventurous you can try layering different color emoji.

4. Switch up the ‘info’ filters

All the simple info filters—speed, temperature, time, and altitude—have variations. Miles per hour becomes kilometers per hour, fahrenheit becomes celsius, feet becomes meters, and the time becomes the date.

Take things to the next level with the temperature filter. Not only can you switch from fahrenheit to celsius, you can also continue tapping to display an hourly or three-day forecast complete with weather icons.

Simply tap the info filter of your choice to access the other options.

Pro Tip: No need to ask for the date anymore – simply tap on the time filter, for the date to appear! http://pic.twitter.com/MWig4R5r1V

5. Use characters to frame your Snaps

The “0” creates a nice oval frame and the “A” will give you a bold triangular border, for example.

How to do it

After you’ve taken your Snap, create a one-letter caption with the largest size text (tap the T icon)

Enlarge it so that it creates a border around the picture

Position it until you have the frame you want

6. Change the color of individual words and letters

How to do it

Type your caption and tap the T icon to get the largest size text

Select one color you want to use from the color palette to start with

Then tap any word in your text and click the select option to highlight the word

Move the highlight over any word or letter you want to change the color of

Choose the next color from the color palette

7. Pin an emoji on a moving target

Because the stuck-out tongue/winking eye emoji is more charming than any human face could ever hope to be.

How to do it

Record a video that focuses on a moving object

When you’re finished filming, tap the emoji icon at the top of the preview screen and select the one you want

Resize the emoji before you pin it

Tap and hold the emoji to drag it over the moving target (which should be frozen at this point)

Hold it over the object for a moment

Snapchat will reload the video, and the emoji should follow along

8. Add drawings and captions to ‘Discover’ content and share it with your friends

When viewing content from Snapchat’s Discover partners, tap and hold a Snap to share it with friends. It’ll automatically open as a draft, where you can add to it the same way you would any of your own Snaps. These can only be sent to individuals via chat, not shared to your Story.

9. Access a wider range of color options

For every color in the rainbow, drag your finger down the color slider to expand it and choose whatever color you like.

Want even more options? Once you’ve found the color family you want, simply drag your finger to the left side of the screen to lock it, then drag to the top left-hand corner for a darker shade or to the bottom right for a pastel pigment.

10. ‘Photoshop’ your Snap with Tint Brush

With a little-known feature called Tint Brush, you can change colors in your Snaps.

How to do it

Capture a Snap

Tap the scissors icon then the paintbrush icon

Choose your desired color

Outline the object you’d like to recolor

As soon as you lift your finger, the object should change color

11. Edit a Snap in Memories to access old community geofilters

When you save a Snap to Memories, most geofilters available at the time are saved too. When you go back to edit a Snap, you can swipe to access those community geofilters.

If you took a photo while vacationing in San Francisco, for example, you can edit that Snap in Memories to access the San Francisco city filter from your home on the East Coast.

How to do it

Swipe up from the camera screen to go to Memories

Press and hold on a Snap

Tap the pencil icon to edit the Snap

Edit your Snap normally and swipe left to access the community geofilters that were available when you took the Snap

Tap Done to save or discard your changes

Simply swipe down to return to Memories

12. Edit stuff out of your Snaps with Magic Eraser

Did something ruin an otherwise perfect shot? Get rid of it with Magic Eraser.

How to do it

Capture a Snap

Tap the scissors icon

Tap the multi-star button

Trace the outline of the object you’d like to erase and it will disappear

Keep in mind though that the tool isn’t perfect. Magic Eraser works best on objects in front of simple backgrounds

13. Draw with emoji

Jazz up your photos and videos by drawing with emoji. There are eight rotating options to choose from.

How to do it

Capture a Snap

Tap the pencil icon to draw

Underneath the color selector is an emoji, tap it for the full range of options

Select an emoji and draw away

Use the emoji brush to paint with ❤️’s, ⭐️’s, ’s,’s ’s and more! (Horseshoes & pots of gold are still a work in progress, though ) http://pic.twitter.com/9F1HxTiDpB

14. Enhance your Snap by changing the backdrop

As Lenses transform faces, you can use this feature to alter backgrounds.

How to do it

Capture a Snap

Tap the scissors icon then tap the box with diagonal lines

Outline the object you want to have in front of the Backdrop (don’t worry, you get multiple tries at this)

Tap the return arrow to undo a mistake and try again

Select your desired backdrop from the menu on the right

When you’re happy with how it looks, tap the scissors icon again to return to the edit screen

15. Add artistic flair to photos in Memories

Breed new life into your old photos with artistic filters for Snaps saved to Memories. Our favorite is Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night.

How to do it

Swipe up from the camera screen to go to Memories

Press and hold on a Snap to display options

Tap Edit Snap

Tap the paintbrush icon to access artistic filters

Choose a filter

Save or send your Snap as usual

Press and hold on a Snap in Memories, tap the paintbrush icon, and various artistic styles should appear : http://bit.ly/2uXjxEI http://pic.twitter.com/vlccs0g4zP

Photo and video Snapchat hacks

16. Share and edit photos stored on your phone in Chat

As a brand you can ask followers to message you and then reply with a pre-constructed image containing a discount code or some other call to action. It’s a fun, time-saving engagement tactic.

How to do it

Swipe right on a user’s name to open up Chat

Once there, select the image icon and choose the photo you want to work with

Add text, doodles, and filters as you would a regular Snap

You can also share video stored on your phone, but you aren’t able to edit the clips within Snapchat.

17. Record video without holding down the capture button

This makes it easier to hold your phone steady and flip back and forth between the front and rear camera. You need to be on an iOS device to use this hack.

How to do it

Access Settings

Select General

Go to Accessibility

Under the Interaction section, turn on the AssistiveTouch feature and a small icon will appear on the right side of your screen

Tap Create New Gesture

On the New Gesture page, hold your finger on the screen and let the blue bar at the bottom max out

Tap Stop

Save and name the gesture

Open Snapchat and before you start recording a video tap the small icon

Select Custom and a circle should appear on the screen

Now simply tap the capture button and your custom gesture will take care of the rest

18. Switch between the front and rear camera while recording

This one is easy. When filming a video simply double tap the screen to switch from selfie mode to point of view.

19. Use the volume buttons to take a photo or record a video in Snapchat

Yep, this is the same trick that works with your phone’s default camera app. If you have a pair of earbuds or headphones with volume control then you can use those to take Snaps as well. You don’t even have to hold your phone.

20. Zoom in and out with only one finger

No more awkwardly pinching the screen! When recording, sliding your finger up the screen will zoom in and sliding down will zoom out.

One-handed zoom is a game changer . Simply drag your up and away from the capture button while recording! http://pic.twitter.com/oTbXLFc4zX

— Snapchat Support (@snapchatsupport) May 10, 2016

21. Give your Snap a soundtrack

This one requires a bit of timing if you want to capture a specific part of a song, but it’s a simple trick otherwise.

How to do it

Open a music app on your phone

Play the song you want

Go back to Snapchat and start recording

22. Record video without sound

If you’re worried about loud and jarring background noise ruining the experience for your viewers, you can send a Snap without sound. After you record a video, simply tap the microphone icon in the bottom lefthand corner of the screen before hitting the blue send button.

23. Distort audio with Voice Filter

How to do it

Record a video Snap

Tap the speaker button in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen

Choose the voice filter you’d like to add to your Snap

When you need a *little* more help getting into character, try adding a voice filter! 🤖 Learn more here: http://bit.ly/2uXlhhn http://pic.twitter.com/ElBQRfyMql

24. Record up to 6 continuous Snaps

Sometimes 10 seconds isn’t enough to capture a moment in all its glory. That’s where Multi Snaps come in.

You can record up to six continuous Snaps, then pick and choose your favorites to share.

How to do it

Press and hold the capture button to record a video

Keep holding the button down to continue recording past the end of your first video Snap (and so on)

When you’ve finished capturing Snaps, your videos will appear at the bottom of the screen

Drag and drop the ones you don’t want into the trash

Continue editing your Snap as usual—any effect you apply will show up on each part of your Multi Snap

This feature has limitations. For instance, Multi Snaps can’t be looped, reversed, or include 3D stickers. They are also only available for iOS (at the time of writing).

25. Send limitless Snaps

Photo Snaps set to limitless will remain on-screen until your recipient taps away. Video Snaps will loop infinitely, so your friends can watch them again and again and again.

How to do it for a photo

Take a picture

Tap the clock icon to select the amount of time your Snap will be visible

Scroll down to the infinity symbol and tap to select

How to do it for a video

Capture a video

Underneath the paperclip icon, tap the circular arrow icon

When the circular arrow shows 1 the Snap will play once, when it shows the infinity symbol, it will loop continuously

These options are available for both Snaps and Stories. If used in a Story, the infinity setting will display the Snap until the viewer taps to see the next item in the Story.

Choose the ∞ timer when your friends need more than a moment to *truly* appreciate your vision http://bit.ly/2rJsvZ9

Choose a link—it can be one that’s already saved to your clipboard, one you’ve sent before, or one you’ve pulled up using search

Send your Snap—your audience only needs to swipe up to view the site in Snapchat’s internal browser
