How to make Miiverse-styled drawings after the Miiverse shutdown!
So if you didn’t know, Miiverse is shutting down. Sad days, fellas.
But; that doesn’t mean you don’t have to stop drawing in the Miiverse style, because I’m gonna teach you how!
What you’ll need:
• A Computer
• A drawing/editing program (sai, MediBang, paint.net if you wanna use an image, doesn’t matter)
• GIMP (get it at https://www.gimp.org )
• Drawing tablet (unneeded but recommended)
Got that stuff? Alright, let’s go!
Step 1. Make a canvas that’s 320x120, it’s the size of Miiverse drawings!
Step 2. Draw the thing you wanna draw. Might wanna use only black and white, but you can also color as well. And for that sweet Miiverse style, try using a binary pen or disabling anti-aliasing.
Step 3. After you’re done drawing, save the image. Now, open up GIMP.
Step 4. Open up your image in GIMP that you just made. Once it’s opened, go to Image > Mode > Indexed, and it will pop up with a small window. Click “Use black and white 1-bit palette”, and then for color dithering leave it at none. However, if your image is colored, use “Floyd-Steinberg (normal)”.
Step 5. Congratulations! Your image now looks like it was made in Miiverse! Now just save it as a copy, and you’re done!
You can also use images with this method as well to make it look like it was made on a Miiverse printer! Just scale them down to the canvas size, that’s all.
