Animation for Beginners in Procreate Dreams

Procreate Dreams has transformed my ability to make animations from my art. Yet when I first opened the app, I was so frustrated: I didn’t understand what I could actually do and was stumped when it didn’t behave like I thought it would. Cut to today, I’ve fallen in love with animation as an art form and am blown away with how easily I can create something cool. Even beginners can create impressive results.

The secret that took me from frustrated to fluent? For one, uncovering all the powerful hidden gestures and tools tucked away into this amazing app. But, 2, was learning the Principles of Animation. These timeless foundations are what makes an animation look good: kinda like there are principles that make an illustration look good. They’re simple to understand, but the concepts make a big difference. 

In my new class, you’ll learn both at the same time, with step by step projects.

No good at drawing? No worries! I’ve provided project files so you can focus on learning animation. But if you DO want to animate your own drawings, this class is also great - you can easily adapt the projects for your own work. And if you’ve created something in my Procreate for Beginners course, you’ve already illustrated one of the projects! 


We’re going to learn:
- tips and tricks for easily animating your art
- creating shadows that automatically move,
- fun techniques like camera movements and creating waves,
- all the hidden gestures and tools to make animating a breeze
- how to use the warping tool, clipping and layer masks
- and how to troubleshoot common problems you may run into

And hi, I’m Brooke Glaser, a professional illustrator and teacher. I’ve helped hundreds of thousands of students to level up their art and careers.

I’m an illustrator, not an animator. Despite my limited experience, Procreate Dreams has opened up a whole new world of art making that felt impossible to me before. Even beginners can create impressive results. So let’s dive in!
