NEW: UPDATED for Procreate Dreams 2!

Social media has become an important place for creatives to show their work, but many of us know how difficult it can be to make people stop scrolling. In this updated class, you’ll learn how adding motion can turn a quick glance into real interest, using Procreate Dreams 2 in a way that fits your personal style and stays approachable.

We’ll start by building a solid foundation, getting familiar with the Procreate Dreams interface and the basics of animation, including what animation actually is and how the three animation methods work: frame-by-frame animation with the Flipbook, keyframing, and perform mode.

From there, we’ll take a static photo or illustration and add small, playful movements to make it more engaging, without turning it into a complex animation project.

In the final part of the class, we’ll focus on transitions, exploring how to connect images using masks, motion, and opacity, and how these techniques can be reused as simple templates for future projects.

Along the way, you’ll work with features like the Animation Brush Library, learn how to animate using Flipbook, and create smooth, social-media-ready animations. By the end of the class, you’ll have a short animated clip and a clear understanding of how to use Procreate Dreams 2 to add motion to your own work.

Curious? I'll see you in class!
