Over the last seven months, I’ve gotten to know the Procreate Dreams app [though there’s always more to learn!] and have found methods of using it to create my own Animated Shorts/Reels. 

In my experience, for really clean/beautiful animation much of the work is completed in the Procreate app for iPad, before transferring all the pieces over to the Procreate Dreams app, then using the award-winning features there to make everything appear incredibly cinematic!

These lessons are collaborative. I will help YOU turn YOUR idea into an animated reality! I will have an overhead view of my iPad as well as the Screen Share option available, so that you will be able to see exactly how I navigate throughout the applications, and make discussion of your project idea easier.

However, for those who just would like to get to know the app through Guided Animation lessons, I have developed several options for this and am happy to do so! 

* * Please Note: Traditional 2D Animation can be a slow process, so when animating traditionally on the tablet (drawing frame-by-frame) the project will take several lessons to complete. With other types of animation projects, for example digital "stop motion," it may only take one-two lessons to complete. * *

You do not need any prior experience with Procreate/Procreate Dreams to take this class, though basic drawing skills and knowledge of the Procreate app will certainly help you in this process. However, I am, of course, happy to help you create simple animations, start small, and work your way up to more complex projects!

You will need an iPad, an Apple Pencil [preferred], the Procreate app for iPad [$12.99 from the App Store--check to make sure that your iPad is compatible] AND Procreate Dreams app [$19.99 from the App Store--check to make sure that your iPad is compatible] downloaded and installed. At this time, all Procreate apps are only supported on Apple products [compatible iPads].
