I have been illustrating in Procreate for years, often turning my work into small animations to bring specific designs to life.

In November 2023, Procreate introduced Procreate Dreams, a robust animation tool that seamlessly integrates with Procreate Illustrator.

I have been experimenting with this new app, and with some practice and tips, anyone can learn the necessary skills to approach animation in Procreate Dreams.

Exporting Procreate layers to Dreams tracks is now easier thanks to familiarity with Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. You can create your desired animations using keyframes, performance modes, and frame-by-frame animation.

Take a look at my illustration and the Dreams animation I made using it below.
