Animate Your Illustrations - Procreate Dreams For Beginners

Create a background in Procreate by blocking a three-part composition—background, middle ground, and foreground—on a 1920x1080 landscape canvas, using layered colors and approximate divisions.

Illustrate a bench, lamp, and tree in Procreate by sketching on multiple layers, applying wood textures, and shading. Create depth with light, shadows, and gaussian blur to finish the scene.

Learn to illustrate a street lamp in Procreate by building a gray base, adding yellow glow with Gaussian blur, and refining reflections and highlights.

Create atmospheric trees using layers, perspective, and gaussian blur in Procreate, building depth by placing background bushes and distant trees darker, more saturated, and more blurred.

Finish the background by shading the road with front darker and back lighter to show illumination, add textures, ground variation, ochre foliage, and gaussian blur highlights before illustrating the ghost.

Create a white ghost on a 1920x1080 Procreate canvas, sketch cloth with waves, add eyes and props, use salt and chilli texture with erasing to soften edges, then merge layers.

Create a skateboard illustration in Procreate by shaping the board with an ellipse via a drawing guide, then add textures, wheels, and a drop shadow on separate layers for animation.

Explore Procreate Dreams basics: import a background, adjust timeline to 10 seconds at 24 fps, and begin animating a skateboard with the action tools in a guided workflow.

Learn how to import and assemble a skateboard in Procreate Dreams, group the elements, and animate motion using keyframes, wheels rotation, and linear easing.

Animate the ghost by recording its movements in Procreate Dreams, adjust the timeline to capture keyframes, and apply warp with motion filtering to create a floating effect.

Create a 240-frame flipbook animation at 24 fps in Procreate Dreams, using onion skin, brushes, and new tracks to move a glowing light bug across the scene.

Animate three falling leaves in Procreate by creating tracks, drawing with the black burn brush and Procreate pencil, and recording their layered motion across the timeline.

Export your Procreate animation by selecting the timeline portion, save the video, and share it via AirDrop, reels, or platforms like Vimeo, YouTube, or Instagram while tagging the instructor.
