Why I stopped using Procreate

In this video I talk about all the different motion features in Adobe Fresco that I didn't even know existed when I was still using Procreate. I walk through my process adding motion to one of my illustrations using several different techniques.

Not only is this extremely helpful but also your videos get progressively funnier, can’t watch them in public anymore or I’ll snort/chuckle so loud people turn heads 😅

I started using Fresco off and on about a year ago. It has perhaps the best watercolor brushes. As I am very familiar with Photoshop, I soon realized that Fresco was Photoshops wickedly cool cousin. I wanted to animate a flock of birds flying from a tree and after watching your videos, I did it! It was incredible easy. As a teacher at a major art academy I can recognize good instructors. You are one of the best I’ve seen.

Procreate launched Procreate Dreams for animation, it takes a bit to get used to but I think it’s pretty fun once you get used to it. It’s constantly getting updates for quality of life since it’s fairly new.

Excellent content, keep it up!

I had no idea Fresco was this cool and useful! I just plopped it on my iPad and shall give it a spin! Thanks!

Fellow Illustrator of 20+ yrs here (children’s books, puzzles etc) — love your vids, thanks to your love of Fresco I have been using this of late over Procreate too. I work mostly in Photoshop and I love the seamless cloud integration between the two. Never tried animation so I’m just mastering the drawing side of it for now but without your vids I would’ve honestly sidelined Fresco as like you I wasn’t impressed at first but love it now! So just wanted to say how much I enjoy your vids and send best wishes from across the pond! 😊

Procreate and Procreate dreams is so popular and that I was almost feeling left out at the onset of my illustration/animation journey. But now after watching this video, I will happily start learning Fresco.

I attempted animation 2 years ago in Procreate but it seemed so cumbersome that I abandoned it. Thank you so much for this workflow video, it’s exactly what I was looking for!

I don't use Procreate, I use Reproduce.

You have sparked my creativity to start animating again after a long break because I was doing it on hard mode. Thank you sir

[SellyS.]

Good talk! Always love hearing about all that Fresco has to offer!

[rektorpwr]

That part with duplicating stars at the end + the dog got me! Thanks man!

In Procreate, you can drag to layers together to create a Layer Group, and then with Animation Assist on, each layer group is treated as its own frame.

Ha! Superb, man. So glad I was able to help you get going, but I didn't need to do much! I love the monster/frog animation. Your technique of having your moving mouth superimposed on my face reminded me of those hilarious videos Conan O'Brien used to do in the early years of his Late Nite show. Also, your dog was the star of this video! More, please.

I've said it before, but your videos are great. Unlike any other creator out there. I have no doubt that you'll grow a huge fanbase because you're so committed to frequently posting quality videos!

[jeanjenna]

I'm just like you - tried when It first came out-- was a bit clunky and I had a Procreate workflow- etc etc..(tho I had really thought the oil/watercolors were better but I don't use them enough to change) A friend had a new Ipad last week and I knew Fresco was free so downloaded it for her and in "showing her how to use it" realized WOW! they have made some real improvements-- and now I'm here with you to get the ground truth lol! thanks for the videos! super helpful

[Jawclamps]

Wow I didn’t even know this was a thing

Great video thanks for sharing, I’m gonna have to give it a shot.

[Mobirin]

Soon I will quit nursing and pursue illustration. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 new subs here! I am binge watching your videos! Thank you sir!

[moonbeam]

You're a life saver! I've been shopping around for (budget friendly) programs that have better animation features than procreate. The animation work flow in Fresco is significantly less tedious than procreate. Thank you so much!

[DeadPixel]

I've definitely made the switch from procreate to fresco, just wish the symmetry drawing would finally arrive
