Layer Groups allow you to select what is static in the background within an animation and separate it from what’s being animated. For example, if you need another frame, that’s as simple as adding a new layer. Layers represent each frame in your animation sequence, and Animation Assist makes workflow easier. The simple-to-use, almost true-to-life style lets you quickly get intuitive results. There’s a simple timeline with layers built on ‘onion skinning’, allowing you to see multiple frames simultaneously. It makes animation in Procreate so easy, anyone could do it. Procreate’s Animation Assist is based on classic ‘flip-style’ animation like that used by Disney and Studio Ghibli.

I recommend taking my first course, ' Procreate with Nikolai Lockertsen', before moving on to this course.17.4 How do you start an animation in Procreate? The Flow of Procreate’s Animation Get ready to learn a lot throughout this whole process as we bring an idea to a fully polished painting and animated scene! And, of course, I'll be showing you how to use clever tricks in Procreate and Lumafusion to do this.

You'll get to see my preparation stage, watch as I do a highly detailed concept painting from idea to final polish, and follow along as I make it come to life with animation and camera movement. I'll be showing you every step of my process as I work on my idea of a mischievous girl snagging some food from a sleeping chef's food stand. While my other course ends before I do all of the details and show a fully polished render, in this course, you'll be following me through my process of creating a highly detailed scene from concept to completion, and then we're going to take it a step further by animating it in Lumafusion. Think of this course as a direct continuation of where my first course stops. Whenever I post a high-rendered concept on social media, I am always asked if I have a tutorial for that image but I never do, so I created this course to address exactly that.
