“I took this class immediately after completing Iva’s “Instagram Reels: Boost Your Engagement with Art Reveal Videos” (which I loved!) and it was a winner as well! Fun, easy to follow, inspiring and full of practical tips. I drew over a dozen personalized GIFs within a day of taking it and it was so much fun! I continue doodling new ones whenever I get a chance or when I want to put a personal touch to my IG stories – it just takes minutes to create and the satisfaction is immediate. I actually find it very relaxing and enjoyable to doodle my GIF sketches, a great warm up for a drawing session!”

What Will You Learn?

In this class, I will show you how to design your own animated illustration collection using Procreate. Say goodbye to endlessly searching for gifs that don’t quite fit your unique style and brand. Instead, I’ll guide you through the process of designing your own animations, from brainstorming and sketching to bringing your illustrations to life with movement.

But it doesn’t stop there! I’ll also teach you how to export your animations as gifs and upload them to Giphy, so you can easily use them in your Instagram stories and share them with your followers. Imagine the impact you can create by having a cohesive and eye-catching animated collection that truly represents your style and brand.

By taking this class, you’ll not only learn to design your own animated illustrations but also expand your portfolio and skills. Imagine the satisfaction of having your very own collection of gifs for your Instagram stories, adding an extra touch of engagement and excitement for your audience.

As a class project, I encourage you to create a simple animated illustration, save it as a gif, and upload it to Giphy. This way, you can share your creations with others or use them in your own Instagram stories. To help you get started, I’ve also provided a few illustrations that you can download and practice on.

I can’t wait to see your amazing creations in the project section! I’m truly excited to have you join me in this class as we embark on a journey to create captivating animated illustrations.

So, let’s dive right in and unleash our creativity. Get ready to bring your illustrations to life with simple animations. Trust me, it’s going to be a blast!
