Hand-Painted GIFs: Bring Your Illustrations to Life in Procreate

Unlock the power of animated GIFs for your Instagram Stories! This course teaches illustrators of all skill levels how to transform your artwork into engaging animated stickers. Whether you work digitally or traditionally, you'll discover simple techniques to bring your illustrations to life using Procreate.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Hand-paint illustrations ready for animation.
• Master four key animation techniques: liquify, rotation, erasing, and painting.
• Export your finished GIFs for seamless use.
• Make your GIFs searchable on GIPHY for wider discoverability.
• Share your captivating GIFs directly on Instagram Stories.

This course is a fantastic starting point if you're interested in pursuing animation further. GIF creation is a highly valuable skill for illustrators looking to enhance their social media presence, stand out from the crowd, reach new audiences, and expand their commission opportunities.

No prior animation experience is required! This class is perfect for beginners looking to explore the world of animation. While some basic Procreate familiarity is helpful, we'll start with a single still image to create movement – a faster and simpler approach than frame-by-frame animation, yet incredibly versatile.

Get ready for a fun and rewarding process! Once you've mastered these techniques, you'll be creating GIFs regularly.
