Learn how you can make high quality thumbnails on mobile!

Over the past few months, I've made more thumbnails than I can count – for more creators than I can keep track of. In this video, I walk you through each step of my workflow. I really hope this helps, and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions at all :)

Although I am using a tablet in this video for demonstration purposes, all the same software and tools are available on phone.

Software:
Blockbench - https://web.blockbench.net
Nomad sculpt - https://nomadsculpt.com
Procreate - https://procreate.com

Free rendering and editing alternatives:
Sketchfab (upload your model) - https://sketchfab.com
Screenshot/render your model using sketchfab - https://labs.sketchfab.com/experiment...
More ways to render - https://www.blockbench.net/wiki/guide...
* If you're using Sketchfab to render, you need to pose the player before exporting from blockbench

Free editing app (procreate alternative; iOS & android) - https://ibispaint.com/?lang=en-US

Graphics pack (shader alternative) for mobile - https://mcpedl.com/stellar-graphics/
(change the clouds to vanilla in the subpack settings)
For background screenshots, use 30 FOV from a low angle.
