I think this bear has achieved transcendence. Nice work and great tutorial. Sounds like really valuable, time-saving (and file and sanity-saving) information. I love the blue streaks and lighting. Very dynamic.
I really wish I had this video a year ago when making my animation project on procreate at school. I had never used procreate before and couldn’t figure out how to have layers on my frames. (it didn’t help that this was a school iPad so everything was in French) I just ended up animating everything on one layer and considering that there were multiple characters talking and moving on full backgrounds you can probably imagine how unnecessarily painful I had made that experience for myself.
I have been searching for a great workflow guide and this is the only one with these important tips! So glad I watched this before starting thank you!!
As always Mikko, this was super helpful! I’ve attempted using the animation feature in procreate, and the results have been a bit underwhelming hahaha!
Those videos take time. I’m still in the process of painting the assets for it before I can start the writing and the shooting. There’s going to be a few more videos released here before the parallax one can go to the final edit phase. I’m trying hard not to apologise for this because I know this is literally the max speed I can work on these. Thank you for your understanding.
I was worried my normal iPad wouldn't be able to have so many layers, normally my limit is 7 because I work on large resolutions, obviously because this is pixel art the layer limit is much higher and it can easily have 80 layers at least.
This a really good point because in the end you do want to flatten the groups as single layers before scaling them up to the resolution you want to render the video. If you already know the scale you’re going for you can make a dummy file in the final resolution and see what the layer limit is in that scale. This way you will have an exact number in mind if you need to plan how many frames the final animation can be.
I’m trying to figure this out! So sometimes your video is matching up with the topic you’re speaking about and other times it amounts to flashing lights (drawing Timelapse ) while I try to figure out if it’s in line with what you’re speaking about, then other times you have text with flashing video and voice over all at the same time. Does that sound right?
I have 256GB on my IPad Pro M1 11inch. I want to try blender but also use the new procreate animating features. Is this enough space to create a smooth animation whilst still having enough storage space to keep it?
It works but you’re literally filming a pixel art piece so it won’t make any sense to zoom in. I just use screen recording and a camera to shoot pixel art processes.
can someone explain for me how exactly you do the thing with the 50% opacity layer mentioned in 2:35 I plan on doing a particle effect over an image but I dont really want to adjust the opacity of all 90 frames manually
that depends on the amount of layers you need, but in pixel art the layers cost next to nothing and you could always make another file if you need to double even that
I wish you showed I’m the video what you are talking about. You just kept giving tips and telling us what to do but didn’t show how to do it so this didn’t help me at all. I’m guessing this video is for people who already been using procreate for a long time but I only started a couple days ago
There are already animation tutorials on this channel and as such there’s no point in me making the same content of basics again. These tips are for making this process go faster once those fundamental skills are already in your toolset. Animating is incredibly time consuming so that’s why I made this. I wouldn’t recommend jumping into animation part of the app first before getting to know the illustration side of the app first.
This video is so useful, thank you so much! I have a question for character animation though: If I wanted to, say, animate a character walking, would I sketch every layer of that and when I'm finished with that, draw the actual character over the sketch? I hope that question made sense lol
I’ve definitely messed up that type of workflow several times by adding details too early so I’d recommend animating a sketch first and when the movement looks okay to you go over it in finer detail.

It’s pretty much just like me when people ask how my first class of yoga at the gym went. One downward dog and suddenly I feel like dalai lama. 🤨
@@angrymikko Haha. There's your next project, The Dalai 'Llama' searching for enlightenment on the Peruvian Andes.
can you imagine how scary flying bears would be irl tho? especially flying towards you, haha. great vid tho, this bear seems chill so we’re cool.
I fully support all kinds of mindfulness practices the bears might or might not be up to when we’re not looking. 😇

😂 I love the chickens too. I also love the fish swimming around. Glad you stayed up all night doing it.
very useful, thank you so much!!
I love your style
Thank you 😊 💕
THANK YOU! You just saved me a TON of time.
So glad I watched this, thank you
You know...."Angrymikko".....You could have mentioned this stuff months ago.
Thank you for the great advice.
Thanks!🧸
Oh I love the bear animation. It’s so cooool
YES! Thank you Angrymikko, I was looking for a trick like this to use multiple layers in one frame!! =)
I usually don’t bother to name layers but in animations it’s pretty essential.
U could make a good game mikko out of ur art. U have a good taste in colors
THANK YOU!!! YOU really saved me some work today! Love your bear animation, BTW.
Saved my life
This slaps.
thank you for these tips!!!!!!!!!!
Any time!
As always Mikko, this was super helpful! I’ve attempted using the animation feature in procreate, and the results have been a bit underwhelming hahaha!
love it
Great advice, thanks very much
The bear is so cute 😂😂😂I love it,I click in immediately just because it ❤❤❤
Thank you bro 🙏
Thank you, good advises!
Thanks, Mikko! Very helpful!
thank you so much!!!
Got my sub and this is neat
OMG thank you 💕
The pixels looks so cool how do you get it? Is it a brush?
There’s a tutorial on this channel on how you can make that brush in procreate for free.
@@angrymikko thank you ! You’re fast at replying
Name your layers it's gonna me much easier.
Me: **Naming layers**
Also me: "I can't find the fucking layer in all those hundreds of named layers"
Thanks
God damn animation god* thnx for the tips
This is amazing Mikoo!!!!you haven’t done the parallax background video 😭😭😭😭😭

What size canvas are you using? Or would suggest?

This video was released over 2 years ago. I hope my editing skills have improved a little since then.

Blender is not available for iPad.
Hi Mikko, this is amazing! Can you help me figure out why time lapse doesn't work on my pixel art on Procreate? Is there a workaround?
It works but you’re literally filming a pixel art piece so it won’t make any sense to zoom in. I just use screen recording and a camera to shoot pixel art processes.
Hello! Im having a hard time trying to export my animation in the best way possible and i export as animate png but it only comes out as a png.
Can you do this in clip studio paint?
Niceee
can someone explain for me how exactly you do the thing with the 50% opacity layer mentioned in 2:35
I plan on doing a particle effect over an image but I dont really want to adjust the opacity of all 90 frames manually
I think he's saying at the beginning if your project you make it 50% so that every layer you copy from it is already 50%
@@pinkrose7646 but what if you want to adjust the opacity later?
Can I make sprite sheets from procreate?
I’m animating smth around 1-3 mins is that okay or should I stick to smaller things?
This loop is about 10 seconds and took most of the week so I guess it depends on your skill, speed and time budget.
@@angrymikko yeah I might start off w small things (like 10s) then go off bigger things thanks for the tip tho :))
What do I do if a message pop up saying im out of layers? :c
Fer Aguilar try merging layers if you can, but not so that it merges individual frames if that makes sense
Procreate generates # of layers based on canvas size, smaller canvas = more layers
how do you make the BG move like that in the walk cycle? there's no camera tool or ability to draw off of the canvas like in animate or toonboom
I used LumaFusion for the background in that one
which i pad are you using
Currently the M1
How do you scale up the animation?
Same process: ruclips.net/video/WepVBzhYoP8/видео.html
How come when I save my animation it comes out a little blurry? I use 512x512 canvases. Please help
You need to expand the artwork as shown in my pixel art tutorial.
I watched the entire video and didn’t see anything about expanding the artwork..
ruclips.net/video/WepVBzhYoP8/видео.html here’s the link again to make sure you’re looking at the correct video. 19: 19 onwards
How how long did this take
Absolutely forever, hence the topic XD
hii so im having an issue. when i group the layers they all show up in one frame instead of individual
That’s how groups work in animation mode
angrymikko 😭😭😭 can i message you on instagram for a little help please 🥺
Can someone help me don't use layers as frames?
I don’t understand the question. Layers are frames.
@@angrymikko like i want to make it normal as normal frames and normal layers not layers to be frames, but i got it, i'm ok with it!
Is there a limit of how long we can animate a single clip?
that depends on the amount of layers you need, but in pixel art the layers cost next to nothing and you could always make another file if you need to double even that
@@angrymikko Aha.... Thank you
How do you export the animation to photos witout losing cuality?
I do it in high resolution as shown in my first pixel art video. It’s important to do the scaling right otherwise it will look like a mess.
angrymikko thank you!
Suomi?
