Illustrate & Animate in Procreate & Procreate Dreams

Create a cityscape of Istanbul with three silhouette building layers, palm trees, and a hot air balloon against an orange sky, guided by a color palette drawn from reference images.

Learn to sketch and animate a hot air balloon with layered cityscape in Procreate, using circles, guidelines, and detail adjustments for scalable, high-resolution movement.

Learn to illustrate a cityscape in Procreate by organizing sketches on layers, duplicating and flattening for backup, lowering opacity, and building crisp, solid shapes with an opaque brush.

Select a light pink, create a new layer behind, fill, then set a third layer with light orange, refine shading, remove sketch, and prepare shading and windows for next video.

Build a sunset cityscape in Procreate by layering backgrounds, textures, and shading, then render the sun, clouds, windows, and reflections with a Gaussian blur for a moody skyline.

Illustrate a hot air balloon in Procreate using symmetry, clipping masks, and layer shading; explore color palettes, textures, rope details, and lighting to bring the scene to life.

Illustrate the character in Procreate by building layered colors for skin, hair, and clothing. Add shading, highlights, lines, and subtle shadows with brushes and gaussian blur to finish the look.

Explore how Procreate Dreams uses a gallery and canvas, remembers your steps, supports layers, a timeline, and keyframes with record or drawing mode to create flipbook animations at 24 fps.

Group and flatten the artwork into four layers: background, sun, clouds, cityscape, hot air balloon. Transfer them into Procreate Dreams via JPEG export or drag-and-drop, then set a 10-second timeline.

Animate the cityscape in Procreate by setting initial and end keyframes, moving and scaling the artwork along the timeline, applying linear easing, and adjusting the sun for a balanced composition.

Learn to animate clouds in Procreate using motion tracking, recording slow, deliberate movement above a cityscape, refining timing, and looping the animation for a polished look.

Animate a hot air balloon in Procreate by recording subtle movements, layering movement, and adding small circular motions with the Apple Pencil for a more organic movement with depth.

Create a beginner-friendly bird animation in Procreate, using a flipbook on a new track with the Procreate pencil to show three wing positions and a flying sequence.

Transfer four layers from Procreate to Procreate Dreams, animate a cityscape, clouds, and a hot air balloon with keyframes and subtle wiggle, then export as video or gif.
