Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good thumbnail for a drawing video?

A good drawing thumbnail visually showcases the artwork or the process, is clear and appealing, and tells viewers what the video is about. It often features a high-quality image of the drawing or painting, uses readable text for the topic or tutorial, and may include the artist's hand or face for a personal touch.

What size should a drawing YouTube thumbnail be?

The standard and recommended size for a YouTube thumbnail for your drawing or art videos is 1280 pixels wide by 720 pixels tall. This 16:9 aspect ratio ensures your thumbnail displays correctly and looks sharp on YouTube across various devices.

How do I make a drawing thumbnail using vidiq?

Using the vidiq Thumbnail Maker, explore our collection of art and drawing-inspired templates. Select a design that fits your video type (tutorial, speedpaint, vlog), upload a high-quality image of your artwork or a still from your video, add custom text for your video title or a key takeaway using appealing fonts, and customize colors and elements to create an attractive and informative thumbnail.

Should I include a picture of my artwork on the thumbnail?

Yes, including a clear and high-quality image of the artwork featured in your video is crucial for a drawing thumbnail. It's the primary visual element that will attract viewers interested in seeing the final piece or the style of art you create.

What text should I put on a drawing tutorial thumbnail?

For a drawing tutorial thumbnail, the text should clearly indicate what will be taught. Examples include "How to Draw [Subject]," "Beginner's Guide to [Technique]," or "[Skill] Tutorial." Keep it concise and use a font that is easy to read even at a small size.

What file format is best for drawing thumbnails on YouTube?

For YouTube thumbnails, both JPG and PNG formats are accepted. PNG is often preferred for drawing and art thumbnails as it can better preserve the detail, colors, and sharpness of artwork and text compared to JPG. Ensure your file size is under the 2MB limit.

Should I include myself or my hand in a drawing thumbnail?

Including yourself or your hand in a drawing thumbnail can add a personal touch and show the human element behind the art. This can be particularly effective for tutorials or studio vlogs to connect with your audience. Ensure it complements the artwork and doesn't clutter the thumbnail.
