THANKS! I needed this - so simple and to the point! I wanted to add that mastering this app can be tricky! Without zooming in (ENOUGH) to control the details, it can be frustrating! I wanted to destroy my iPad! But once you learn to zoom in correctly, it's super fun and almost free! Thanks for the tip, it's a game-changer for me!

This was extremely useful not just for Procreate Dreams but also for illustrators new to animating and may have heard of rigging but aren't too familiar with it yet. This is the perfect synergy of app and technique breakdown! I really, really appreciate the way you explained it! Thank you!

You sir have earned yourself a sub. Video is a good length that’s filled with so much clear info. I already can visualize all that you are telling me as you demonstrate the hierarchy of the layers. Honestly you shown us more than some creators has done so far. I’m looking forward to view more of your videos.

David, you are brilliant! This is so awesome and makes the movement look so much smoother. I had to giggle when you said you were just doing a quick draw. Your fast sketch of the arm and hand looks better than the hand I spend time trying to draw. Anyway, thank you sooooo…. Much! ❤

@davidpikedesigns 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the great comment and for watching! Hopefully, Procreate Dreams will add shape tools to the program. When that happens, creating simple rigs like this will be much easier because you will be able to line up the circles around the joints to create rotations much smoother than this one. Concerning the "quick" drawing, I did cut out some of the drawing mistakes to shorten the video, so it probably wasn't as quick as it seemed. :)

@doodlingdebbie1 6 ай бұрын

@@davidpikedesigns without drawing in Procreate I can’t draw a circle. It’s so frustrating . They spoiled us with some of the tools and features in Procreate. Fingers crossed, we’ll see some of those in Procreate Dreams. It will make Procreate Dreams so much more user friendly. Especially for those of us who are new to digital art.

This tutorial is one of the easiest to understand. I have gone through several tutorials where artists lost themselves in intricate details and lost their grip on the tool. Hope you have more tutorials, is it me or Dreams is really more complicated?

@davidpikedesigns 6 ай бұрын

Glad it was helpful! Concerning Dreams being complicated, it is hard of me to say. I'm used to a mouse and keyboard workflow (Blender, Toon Boom Harmony, etc.). Working on an iPad for me is complicated to start with because it feels so different from my normal process. Also, I haven't extensively tried other animation programs on the iPad (Callipeg, ToonSquid, etc.), so I don't know if those are easier than Dreams. Hopefully, I'll be able to try those other options in the future. Thanks for watching!

hi david, very informative, have you tried o make a walk cycle using this way? i am trying but is getting me complicated!

@davidpikedesigns 6 ай бұрын

I have tried, but I'm not certain it is ready for a process that complex, especially if you've used Moho or Harmony in the past. It is possible, but I think it is a bit limited without additional functionality, such as deformers. I think it will improve, but I would probably stick to simple rigs at this point. Thanks for watching!

@JECohen84 5 ай бұрын

Seems like more work instead of straight forward animation but I understand that it keeps the dimensions and everything intact

@davidpikedesigns 5 ай бұрын

Yes, it can be more work. Having also used Toon Boom Harmony to create rigs, sometimes it is just faster to draw the poses than rig a puppet. My animations do look much cleaner when rigged because my line drawings aren't very smooth. Thanks for watching!

In the latest version of Procreate Dreams (1.0.9), they have included some changes to the undo/redo functionality: • In Movie Settings -> Preferences you can now choose to have permanent Undo and Redo buttons on your Stage. • You can also disable undo and redo tap and hold gestures. • The default timing for Rapid Undo has been slowed down, but you can also adjust this in Movie Settings -> Preferences.
