• With over 15 years of experience working in professional animation studios, Siobhan has built a career creating expressive, cinematic animations where character performance and environment work together to tell a story. In this class, she shows you how to use Procreate Dreams as a complete animation studio while refining your fundamentals and expanding them into fully realized, cinematic scenes.  Rather than starting from scratch, you’ll revisit and strengthen the core principles of animation, then immediately apply them to a more complex, studio-style project. Siobhan walks you through animating a four-legged walk cycle and placing it into a dynamic environment, demonstrating how professionals layer character motion, background animation, and secondary details to create depth, atmosphere, and polish.

With Siobhan guiding you step by step, you’ll learn how to:

• Refresh and apply the core principles of animation with intention

• Use Procreate Dreams’ essential tools to build efficient, flexible scenes

• Animate a four-legged walk cycle with clarity and control

• Add subtle background motion and environmental details that elevate your work

• Assemble a cohesive, cinematic scene from start to finish

Throughout the class, Siobhan shares studio-tested workflows and practical decision-making tips. From project setup to layering motion, your process will feel streamlined and professional from the very beginning. You can also download the background illustration to follow along, allowing you to focus on refining movement, timing, and atmosphere.

By the end of the class, you’ll have a portfolio-ready animation that showcases more than just character motion; it'll demonstrate your ability to build cinematic scenes with depth, mood, and storytelling. More importantly, you’ll walk away with a clearer, more confident animation process and a deeper understanding of how to push your work further using Procreate Dreams.

This class is ideal for artists and animators who already have some experience with drawing or animation and want to level up their skills. Whether you’re new to Procreate Dreams or transitioning your existing animation knowledge into a new tool, this class will help you refine your fundamentals, strengthen your workflow, and animate complete scenes with confidence. You'll need an iPad with the latest version of Procreate Dreams downloaded.
