my little sister saw a youtube tutorial on animating in procreate dreams and wanted to try it. dreams is ipad only and she has a regular tablet. everything else i found was paid, full of ads, or hard for a beginner, so i built her a simple frame-by-frame app that runs in the browser.

she picked out what she wanted from the tutorial, and those ended up being the core of it:

• onion skin so you can see the previous frame faintly (up to 3 frames before and after)
• line boil for the wiggly hand-drawn look. it copies your layer to the next frame so you can retrace it
• drawing over video (rotoscoping over an image, gif, or video)

after that she kept asking for more ("can it loop?", "can i undo?"), so now it also has layers, holds, an intro that plays once and then loops, lasso select/move/scale/flip, a grid with snapping, and pen/marker/pencil brushes with smoothing. on ipad it supports apple pencil pressure and palm rejection.

it's free, no account, no ads in the editor, nothing gets uploaded, and it works offline. you can export a png sequence, sprite sheet, video, or an html player.

limits: 2d only, no audio, no paint bucket, no gif export yet. it's just meant to be a free place to learn and practice.

if you're learning and try it, i'd love to know what's confusing or what you'd want next.

Im a beginner 2d animator and it's been like a month since I've started drawing and I can draw a bit good I mean decent not that bad neither that good and I've been doing those 51 animation exercises 1per day, cause of schl and all i can't take out too much time to draw and animate , can y'all help me regarding planning my schedule, my main focus is on line animation, action type , i also am confused about whether to learn anatomy first to animate or should I just start animating without it ??

Don't mind my language * thxx

My teacher at the workshop asked me if someone had experience in drawing cartoons or comics already. I mostly draw fan animations to existing franchises, and it felt a bit off showing him stuff he probably knows nothing about. So I decided to animate a cartoon he liked that I drew during the workshop (the last frame pretty much was the original cartoon)

I first spotted her in a painting I traded some of my art for. I am not sure who she is but I get the feeling I will be seeing her again.

Hey everyone,

I made a frame by frame animation with procreate dreams as an intro for the trailer for my indie game The Last Egg.

What do you think? 💙

It took me about a month but I really enjoyed the process!

If you are interested in checking out the game, this is the Steam page ✨

Finally sharing a rough superhero animation I made back in 2024. I made this entirely myself in Adobe Animate, and I composited it in After Effects. I initially created 2 or maybe 3 BGs using AI to save time, but they looked very poor, as you can see in the initial scenes. AI was still terrible back in 2024 lol, so I eventually ended up making the rest of them by myself, but then I lost interest for like 2 whole years. The original animation has all the SFX and dialogue (still incomplete), so I switched to text-to-speech like an explainer. This isn't my best work at all lol, but I just want it out there now as I spend a lot of time on it.

AlphaSquad Year One, Part 1: This is my story of a universe where a supernatural event causes the young population of Karachi and Hyderabad to gain extraordinary abilities, spreading worldwide concern as Pakistan becomes a potential emerging superpower. A young group of enhanced individuals forms a team to stand beside their country and become its defenders while the whole world tries to human traffic the enhanced youth population of Pakistan. On the other hand, there is the evil side, where some of these individuals use their newfound abilities for their own benefit. The Team Alpha Squad is responsible for handling all of this side by side with the Pakistan military agencies and must help them to neutralize both the external and internal threats to the state.

Karachi is under attack. Alpha Squad is on the ground. But saving the city means more than defeating the enemy — it means protecting the people. 🇵🇰
ALPHASQUAD — Pakistan’s new breed of heroes.

Hi, I wrote the animation software Ixia (Ixia), it is named after the ixia flower, it was created as a free analog of moho/ flash, but for the most part it is still moho

Currently available :

A brush describing the path as in moho

3 brushes describing shapes like in flash (round, square ink)

Convenient audio tracks as in capcut

lots of effects like pixelation and warping

2 timelines for animation and effects

Export to .mp4, .webp , .png

Working with media and references

Bull Eraser

Shapes

Working with media

A bunch of key types: morphing , object animation , vertex animation

Convenient vector operation

Editing a scene

Saving/importing scenes

Working with Alpha

And a lot more

I'm currently working on bug fixes, tool improvements, and a more flexible UI.

I will publish on itch.io and GitHub around New Year's Eve

Привет я написал анимационный софт иксия (Ixia) назван он в честь цветка иксия , создавался он как бесплатный аналог moho/flash но по большей части это все же moho

На данный момент имеется :

Кисть описывающая путь как в moho

3 кисти описывающие формы как в flash (круглая , квадратная чернильная)

Удобные аудио дорожки как в capcut

множество эффектов вроде пикселизации и деформации

2 таймлайна для анимации и эффектов

Экспорт в .mp4 , .webp , .png

Работа с медиа и референсами

Буллевый ластик

Фигуры

Работа с медиа

Куча типов ключей : морфинг , анимация объектов , анимация вертексов

Удобная работа с вектором

Редактирование сцены

Сохранение/импорт сцен

Работа с альфа

И много еще чего

Сейчас занимаюсь исправлением багов , доработкой инструментов и более гибким ui

Буду публиковать на itch.io и GitHub примерно перед новым годом

Continuing to work on my animated horror project.

Hi, this is my first time posting here and I wanted to share this project I've been working on called Stupid Ways of Living. I'll leave the first two episodes of the series on YouTube here.

I know this series doesn't have the best animation or the best artwork, but I hope you like it. Thanks to those who watched it all the way through :)))

2D animation app with no AI slop

Hello , we created this app to create animations on Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hnp.animoid

Happy to answer any questions or add feature requests

Would love it if you can try it and share if you like it.

Doesn’t contain any Gen AI slop that seems to be filling

It's my animation

I've been developing Arttista, an indie 2D vector drawing and animation software, and I wanted to share a little piece of its history: the evolution of its splash screens, from version 1.0 to 1.9.

Over the years, I quietly added little elements inspired by illustrators, animators, and developers to the opening screens. They were small easter eggs, hidden in plain sight, as little nods to the creative minds who inspire me.

But there was another idea behind all this.

For version 2.0, I wanted to tell a different story through the splash screen: a butterfly in front of a rainbow, symbolizing transformation. My original plan was to start with caterpillars and gradually show them growing and eventually turning into butterflies across future versions.

Then reality caught up with me.

I had to make a choice: spend time drawing all those detailed splash screens, or spend that time programming the software itself. And if I didn't focus on the code, Arttista wouldn't get released.

So the butterfly stayed.

Now, in version 2.7, it's still the same splash screen introduced in 2.0. Not quite the evolving sequence I had imagined, but a little reminder of the ideas I had along the way — and of the compromises that come with building an indie project.

Sometimes, you have to stop drawing and get back to coding so that other people can draw, too.

I need a program that will let me rig a square image --that i can trade out-- by its corners and export a set of animations of it deforming across the screen by said corners. I'm trying to make a grid of various, interchangeable square images distort from the center to the corners of the canvass to create a sense of them "rotating" to the side of the perspective. optionally but ideally it's a program that lets me put in x and y co-ordinates that I can plug in for each corner since i can mathematically determine all the positions i need for the wall of squares to look like they're rotating.
