Live Encore: Hand-Drawn Animations in Procreate & After Effects

Learn a unique animation technique that combines Procreate and After Effects.

Using the animation tools that Procreate provides can be a great way to add a hand-drawn look into your digital animations. In this hour-long class—recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community—animator Fraser Davidson will walk you through the exact process he follows to create these fun animations.

First, he’ll show you how to create a simple, hand-drawn animated loop in Procreate. Then, he’ll show you all the different ways you can manipulate that animation in After Effects to really enhance it. Along the way you’ll get a deep look into Fraser’s workflow, animating alongside a master at work.

Great for beginners who are looking to become more versed in the various animation programs, or more experienced animators who want to learn a new technique, you’ll walk away with a fun animation and plenty of skills to apply to your own work.
