Ok now the only thing i need is an ipad, an apple pencil, and procreate.

[@03khattar]

You also need practice to have skill

Today I've got those ipad pencil and the procreate, now I want to complete the statement; I need skill and patience

[@howar31]

so far the most detailed tutorial for Procreate animation I've ever seen!!

[@kunchevsky]

I'm happy to see you found it useful!

[@ryno583]

ANIMATION starts at about 20 MIN mark. Dont worry about finding his EXACT texture brush just go animate! These are not hard tips he explains perfectly and keeps a consistent workflow and that is something we all must learn….workflow..so much is getting in the zone. Lovely! thank you so much and i knew it had to be just classical animation techniques! i thought there were automatic animation guidelines hidden from your shorts!!!! Thank you and a great reminder to not OVER THINK animation….gravity…accceleration…decelleration..squash and stretch….SUCH a beautiful tip to ADD a guideline! then hide hide the layer simple and effective! And the Gausian Blur trick!

[@disneyfreak9011]

I love the way you explain every little thing so it’s easy to understand and follow. I’ve learned so much in this video!

[@kunchevsky]

That's cool! Happy to hear you found it useful 🙌

[@equip2survive]

This is SUCH an awesome tutorial!! And so GENEROUS you to share!! Just became a HUGE fan of yours!! Thank you for both the inspiration and sharing of your skills/knowledge!!

[@michaelhowe4746]

Thank you so much for this video! It’s very pretty, and I love that you narrate basically EVERY step. The fact that there aren’t many obvious jumps or time lapses also makes it very relaxing and therapeutic for me to watch. :) great job. (Did you know you can use two fingers to swipe the layer to get alpha-lock?)

[@starblueming]

Thank you for making full tutorial. This is really pretty 😊

[@oniking7460]

Finally. I've been watching your videos on Instagram. Thank you for this step by step

[@FlourishedHope]

Your animations and illustrations are absolutely AMAZING! Even my kids watched it in loops in awe! That means you are doing something right! 😉

[@katvalachova3577]

I'm in love. Finally somebody explaining how to properly animate with procreate

[@TheUntam3d]

Such a great tutorial! Thanks for sharing and hope to see more of those :D

[@engelnoordwijk]

THANKS for this VERY clear tutorial!! I didn’t know how to create a background AND a foreground. Starting with this BEFORE you start to animate is a great tip. Keep up the good (and beautiful) work! You’re an inspiration!!!

[@kunchevsky]

My pleasure! Thanks 🙏 Yes, in this kind of animation it's almost always better to do the whole static image first and then add a nice motion :)

[@abiiidraws3292]

So useful, thanks for the tutorial. PLEASE CONTINUE MAKING THESE!!!!! You're so talented, it's incredible!!!!

[@kunchevsky]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@ricadatoc3943]

Whoa!!! A full tutorial!! I don't have an iPad Pro (although I'm planning to buy one) but I can certainly learn from the concepts (tricks and techniques) you gave and apply it in other apps or medium! Thank you so much! ❤

[@kunchevsky]

I'm so happy to see that the tutorial is useful! Yes, the concepts are same, no matter which program you use ✍️

[@steinistein8611]

Hey, just a quick note, the iPad air is almost as good as the pro model but waaay cheaper I wasnt sure which one to buy and went with Air. A friend bought pro and he regrets it now 😅 we compared both and the difference is minimal :)

[@ricadatoc3943]

Oooh thanks for the heads up Steini Stein :))

@@steinistein8611 my cousin is selling his air what do you say?

What a great teacher! I've been watching videos for this app for years, but this is the first time, that I can say I learned how to use lots of tools on the app. Thanks :D

[@Besugas14]

Thank you!! Your video is very helpful 💚 I’ve got a question, is there any way that we can add movement to the background as well?

[@rochelle..]

Love it! Thank you so much for the great detail. Do you think you could shade and detail leaf and duplicate for each frame and just warp the shape to save time? Curious if you tried it

[@jasenjahn]

I feel so dumb, I had no idea you could hold a bg and fg for the entire animation. so i had been making stupidly large layer groups for each frame with my bg in each one. Thank you for showing me there is a better way!

It's not super dumb, because this is a relatively new feature!

I have a question - you "locked" "foreground group" (on 23.40) and selected "animation for ground option". But I couldn't find this feature (I can do only "rename", @flatten", "merge down' and "combine down"). Could you please advise if I did smth incorrectly...

Nice tutorial! Any reason why I don’t get the option to set the background group to ‘background when doing the animation? Foreground works but I only get frame options for background layers

[@kunchevsky]

Thanks! Make sure that your layer is the last one in the Layers, because Background option is available ONLY for the last frame.

Can you please make a full step by step tutorial of how to draw and animate the earth turning around 😊 I would like to learn about that. Thank you so much

very nice tutorial. one question. I dont see in my group layers the option of Animation on background. When and where I can find it? thanks in advance

[@REDULE26]

nice job ;)

[@uneulvedal2571]

Great! How do you get it on Instagram from the iPad, do you loop it in a video editor and upload it from desktop? Stupid question, but was not able to find an OK worklflow for this.

[@kunchevsky]

Thanks! You can just export the animation as .MP4, upload it on IG and it will be automatically looped.

[@jov5442]

That's cuz of you that I want to buy an Ipad ! Do you have a protection on your screen and if yes does it change anything to draw ? (PS: continue u're amazing !)

Nice job man!!👌 Subd!

[@kunchevsky]

Thank you!

[@Tutimon]

Awesome animation! Do you know if there is a way to export each frame as a png so that each frame has the grouped, background and foreground layers together? I basically want to import each frame into another program but when I export as PNG Files, I get all layers separate and not how they were grouped as frames.

[@kunchevsky]

Thanks! I've just tried it and yes, it looks like PNG export doesn't work right. I think the easiest way is to put these files in Photoshop or other suitable app and reexport from there.

[@Tutimon]

@@kunchevsky Mmm like I suspected. Thanks for looking into it! Maybe I'll try and reach out to them.
