Welcome to my studio! I’m so glad you’re here!

This 4-week live class is a fun, casual space where we will create a new animation together step-by-step in the app Procreate Dreams. Students will create multi-layered animations and problem-solve through the design, framing and creation of their own moving art!

✨ Each 4-week class we will make a different animation. Students can sign up again and again to get more practice and make lots of animations!! If you are familiar with my ongoing (recurring) Procreate Illustration classes, this class is similar in that it keeps going, except we spend 4 weeks on one project in one “course,” then you have to sign up again for the next 4-week course to make another animation. Please note that there are some months when we will not have class, and you are welcome to come join our recurring Procreate illustration classes to keep developing your drawing, color and other skills that are important for amazing animations!

💥  THEMES 💥
•  Space and shooting stars (September)
•  Moths and light! (October)
•  East African Landscape with animals (November)
•  Zoomed-In Detail Movement of your choice from references (January)
•  Character running and jumping (February)
*These months could change and shift—you will only see one month at a time to register for.


✨  We have time to share work and connect over shared interests at the beginning and end of each class! Students do not have to share and it’s never a big deal to pass. Chatting and sharing happen mostly at the beginning and end of class, with the majority of time in the middle spent on step-by-step focused work.

✨ Students following along with me step-by-step to make a new animation! More advanced students may be working at their own pace, adding more nuance, style and detail as they progress in their art-making!

✨ Students will want to (and are encouraged to!) take this class again and again, as we create something new in each 4-week class! Many students stay for years, gaining more confidence, speed and style as they work with our prompts each time!

✨For students who are not familiar with the app Procreate (the original illustration app from which Dreams spawned), and want to practice a bit before jumping into this animation class, look for my live Procreate classes or one of my self-paced classes to get started!

✨✨ I teach this class to 11-15 year olds, but if you are older than this age range you are welcome to join our class. As my schedule permits I will be creating a teen-specific class for Procreate Dreams, so follow me as a teacher for that :)
