"Hey guys, welcome to the 'Creating emojis: Cry Baby Edition'! in this blog, we'll see how I'm creating emojis for each song from the Cry Baby album, remember that I'm always active so you can send me a message anytime!"
~Darkie
How I'll be creating them:[]
Step one: searching the perfect emoji[]
In this step, we need to search an emoji what suits with it, you can help me commenting which one to use! (remember, we're using the blue emojis)
Step two: searching the MV reference[]
In this part, we need to search a reference, remember what this wiki has images of the MV/Coloring Book images/Behind the scenes in Melanie Martinez/Gallery/Cry Baby!
Step three (final step): drawing the emoji[]
This is an easy step, I just need to draw the emoji according to our references! we can even chat and get ideas if you want while I'm drawing!
Process and results:[]
Cry Baby[]
- I loved the emoji I used (the crying face)
- The image I used it was the second one in the gallery! (Cry Baby (song)/Gallery)
- I did this drawing in two days because the IbisPaint[1] limit on windows! (two days=two hours)
- It was all fun and games until the hair time (I was struggling, A LOT.)
Dollhouse[]
- I didn't had a great image to choose so I got this one (Holding breath it's like Cry Baby's way to act because all the things she keeps about her family, plus way to force a smile)
- This was the image/look reference what was the closest to Mel's face (Got the reference from Dollhouse (song)/Gallery
- Did this in one hour and thirty two minutes!
- Fun fact: I finished this one because it's a day off :'3
Sippy Cup[]
- This one actually took me some time. (three hours)
- I wanted to get a better reference, but I only got this image (the closest to Melanie's face and hair).
- I was experimenting a little here!
- This could be perchace the hardest emoji I've done.
Carousel[]
- YALL I KNOW THE BOW IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH BUT I DIDN'T HAD SPACE!
- The emoji reference I saw it was the most accurate to the theme of the song.
- This wasn't that hard, I'd say what this was one of the easiest emojis I've done.
- Fun fact: I was doing the emoji while watching a K-drama!
Alphabet Boy[]
- It doesn't look that bad, but it's not the best emoji.
- The design looks boring.
- I had to change the color of the hair two times.
- The only things I liked from here were the lips and lashes.
Soap[]
- I loved how it resulted, it looks very cute!
- I wish I would'nt ran out of time yesterday, but I finished it, so it's all good!
- FIRST COLORING BOOK PAGE REFERENCE USED, WOHOOOO!
- I changed a lot the looks of the emoji to the result... it looks way different.

- ↑ IbisPaint is a drawing app available for all devices (phone/table/computer) in all operative systems (Android, iOS, Mac, Windows) which has a pro fearture whose you need to pay to get access to all the brushes/feartures on it, in the phone/tablet version, you can see an ad to get all the feartures what pro includes for a limited time. (18 hours) but in the computer/desktop version, you only have a one hour timer, because in the apps you can't see ads.
