An upcoming mod for Tomodachi Life by @Kobazco on Twitter unlocks gay relationships in the game! Though currently still in development, almost all interactions have been tested and work properly (aside from confessions), so be sure to keep an eye out for development updates

Do you want to draw something similar if not better than…
THIS?!
Then boy I have a tutorial for you!
Since this was drawn on a 3DS, I can’t really tell you anymore than for a 3DS. Sorry..
Step One: Prep!
Grab your 3DS and go to “Nintendo 3DS Camera”! Or whatever it might be called if you have a “New” one.
Optional: If you want you can take a picture within the game- if it’s capable of doing so.
For me I’m gonna use a screenshot from Miitopia.
Step 2: Background!
Part 1: Plain Backgrounds
If you want something like the following image, follow this part’s instructions.
Take a random full screen sized image. Any image will work as long as it fits the screen perfectly. (Take a screenshot from a game such as Tomodachi Life or Miitopia).
Tap the image so that it says graffiti.
Then use a stamp, such as the dialogue bubble.
Hold the stamp and make sure it fills the corners.
Then you have a plain white background! This one you can press finish,but the other method you can’t.
Here’s a quick video tutorial, because I don’t think I phrased it right!
(I took it on my phone, that’s how easy it is).
Part 2: Backgrounds that aren’t pure white!
If you want to make the starting image (but your own), then follow these steps!
(Once again, I’m using Miitopia screenshots for an example).
Once again, GRAFFITI!
Instead of using a stamp, you might have to just color it yourself. Mainly because the stamp method is harder for backgrounds like the first one.
COLOR THE BACKGROUND, BUT DON’T DRAW ANYTHING ELSE. (Unless you just want to draw a background). Trust me, it’s easier.
Boom! Plain background ready for sketching.
Don’t press finish cause it can decrease the quality with enough graffitiing and finishing.
Step 3: Draw the Base!
You gotta draw that body-ody-ody!
Just draw a bust or whatever is easier for you. “Omg IsBus you have to have drawing skills?!” Yeah I know. How could I?
I’m gonna draw the bust up because it’s easier for me.
(Don’t look at me like that.)
For the plain BG ones, just do the same thing for the rest of the steps but for your screen.
Since the background hasn’t been saved, don’t use the eraser because it will remove the white BG. Unless you are using the first background method, that is. (Use the white pencil.)
Step 4: Draw the character / Coloring Page Step!
On the plain BG you can draw what ever but for me and my Miitopia character, I’m gonna draw him. If you did the color-only-a-part-of-the-drawing method (like I’m doing), you can do whatever still.
Think of the white area as a green screen; you can draw whatever you want on it.
This phase is like the pencil part of a physical drawing. White out the base as you get to parts you want over it (for example: hair or clothes).
Bam! Coloring page!
Part 5: Coloring!
Remember when I called it a coloring page? This is why.
Color the drawing how you see fit!
If you’re using the all white bg, then you might have to use the stickers or the rainbow pencil. I recommend the stickers if you want to shade/shine, but if you want more options, use the rainbow brush.
If you’re basically doing what I’m doing, you can use the colors from the image to color your character!
Once you’re done coloring the image, remember to ink the lines again! Use a medium brush for coloring but a thin brush for inking the lines.
Part 6: Final Details!
For people who want any additional details, or need to clean up edges.
If you did the plain bg you can decorate and clean up as much as you need!
If you’re doing what I’m doing, you can clean up the edges of the white spot and add additional details.
And Voila! You did it!
If you have a 3DS and followed my tutorial, show me what you did! I wanna see it!
