In life, stickers have become more and more popular fashion items for teenagers and young people, such as stickers on stationery boxes, suitcases, game consoles, etc. So, how to design a set of stickers of your own? Here we list 5 best tips to design stickers by yourself.

How To Design Stickers By Yourself – Sticker Design Guide

1. Determine the theme

Before designing, we should first think about what type of stickers are designed, animals? Plants? Or animation and so on. It suddenly occurred to me recently that if vegetables and fruits have different personalities as human beings, what are their respective personalities? Is it lively, funny, or domineering?

2. Find the corresponding reference drawing

After determining the theme, we can find materials according to our own theme. For example, if you want to make a set of animal-related stickers, you can find materials for different animals. (It is worth noting here that when looking for materials, we can find as many different types as possible, such as pictures, line drafts, silhouettes, etc., which can not only ensure the diversity of materials but also facilitate our reference)

3. Draw line draft

After the material is found, the line draft can be drawn according to the material. In the drawing process, you can draw by yourself according to the shape, or you can base the material as shown in the following figure, and then draw. (Tip: In the drawing process, we should try to simplify and not outline all the details. We can also make some adjustments according to our own understanding.)

4. Coloring

After drawing all the elements, you can start coloring. In the coloring process, we can use the original color of the object, or match colors according to our own preferences. No matter which method we use, we should pay attention to the harmony of colors.

5. Add some personalized memory points

Even after the color is applied, you will find that all the elements are still plain and featureless. Therefore, the most important step is to add your own characteristics to the sticker. For example, add dynamic expressions, funny elements, trend elements or endow them with different personalities.
