As a multi-disciplinary creative, Smitesh Mistry loves exploring his creativity through different disciplines. From illustrator to videographer to animator to content creator, he has transferred his fun and abstract creative style to tons of different projects, platforms, and softwares—now that includes Procreate Dreams. You might already know Smitesh and his work from Instagram, TikTok, or his previous Skillshare classes, but now Smitesh is here to share how Procreate Dreams elevated his creativity, unlocked new stylistic opportunities, and helped bring new ideas to life through a brand new lens.

Now Smitesh wants to share how you can use Procreate Dreams to explore new creative opportunities and add movement to any Procreate illustration. In this class, you’ll take an illustration and transform it into a looping animation by adding rigging, creating a looping background, and adding texture and detailed micro-movements.  

With Smitesh as your teacher, you’ll:

• Learn how to prepare and import any Procreate illustration into Procreate Dreams
• Add motion to your character using keyframes, a rigging workaround, and ease in and out tools
• Add texture and shadows to your animation using clipping masks and Fill duration
• Finish your animation by adding animation to smaller elements

Plus, you can download Smitesh's original Procreate illustration from the class resources if you want to animate it with him in real-time.  

Whether you’ve been using Procreate for years and want to bring your illustrations to life through animation or you’re just beginning your animation journey, you’ll leave this class with a detailed looping animation and the ability to create clipping masks, add keyframes, and a rigging workaround you can use within any Procreate Dreams project.
