🤩 Bonus tips 🤩
• If you want your character to slow down towards the middle of the screen, move the character in tiny increments when it is in the center of the canvas. Gradually increase the distance as your character gets closer to the edges of the canvas.
• If you want to animate specific parts of your character, you can group multiple layers in one big group labeled "character." Procreate will recognize the entire group as one frame, and you will be able to move the layers it contains independently. For example, you could move the whole character group forward and add a slight rotation to the broom layer within the group.
• To export your animation, open the wrench icon menu and select "Animated MP4" at the bottom of the share sub-menu.
