In this class, by artist and Top Teacher Tracey Capone, you'll learn tips and tricks for animating textures right on your iPad, using Procreate. These textures can be used to create fun, textured GIFs, as well as textured animations for your website, social media and more.

Hi everyone! Welcome to class.

I am so excited to share tips and tricks for how to create animated textures on your iPad, using Procreate. If you know me, and my work, you know I have a deep love of textures, and being able to animate the textures I've created, has allowed me to create one of a kind GIF stickers, and animations for my classes, website and social media. Together, in class, we'll walk step by step, together through how to animate your own favorite textures in Procreate.

How to pull in, or create, texture in Procreate
How to tweak textures using Procreate's built in Adjustment Tools
How to create a frame by frame texture animation on a single shape
The ins and outs of creating an animated background in Procreate
How to add multiple textures to a single object using masks
Best practices for grouping layers when adding and animating multiple textures within a complex illustration.

The best part? What you learn in this class can be applied to just about any object you animate in Procreate, not just textures!

The class downloads can be found in the Projects and Resources section of class. You will need to access them through a browser and not through the Skillshare app. The password to access the downloads will be shared in the Downloads & Resources section of class.

Hi there! I'm Tracey. I'm an illustrator, photographer and Top Teacher here on Skillshare, located in the Chicagoland area. You can find my full Skillshare profile, including all of my classes, here. I've been a full time artist for over a decade, after leaving the corporate world behind in 2011. My work can be found online, and in select stores around the country.

In my daily work, I use both iPad and desktop apps from the Affinity Suite, Adobe, and Procreate and love being able to share my knowledge of those apps, here on Skillshare, as well as in short form tutorials that complement those classes, here on YouTube.

To say I love texture is putting it mildly. I have been texture in my work, both photography and illustration, for many years and, over those years have created thousands of my own textures from analog sources I create in my studio. When used with intention, I think texture can not only add depth and dimension, it can help guide the viewers eye and tell a story. I love being able to animate my textures using apps like Procreate, and can't wait to share my tips and tricks with you.

If you have any questions about the class, or would like feedback on your project, please feel free to let me know in the Discussion section of class, or by emailing me at hello@traceycapone.com.

I look forward to seeing you in class!
