Piskel

I enjoyed remembering 6th grade animation, but with all the knowledge I’ve gained over the years. It’s fun to see just how much I’ve learned.

I liked experimenting with Piskel for the first time and learning how to create more engaging sequences. I had a blob monster create a horned dog (or something like that) from its arm, which sounds a bit strange but is quite cute in practice.

I had a lot of fun escaping physics working on this project and on a call with my friends. The animation that I created made me laugh but also respect the amount of work put into creating an animation. Def would do it again!

Procreate

Learning how to create animations was really cool and super fun to learn. I always knew procreate had an animation feature but I had never used it because I wasn’t sure how I’d do. After learning the basics, I definitely felt more comfortable and I’m excited to experiment in the future! ​

Animation is a really fun way to add life and motion to art. I loved learning the basics about it, and although it’s hard work, it’s very rewarding. I would love to learn more about it in the future and make more advanced animations! ​

​AnimationSketch

Animation is just a very interesting subject and it’s good to have some knowledge about it. I definitely enjoyed drawing the bunny, although it was a challenge drawing with my hand. I think the best part was when it all comes together and you play the animation at the end. It looks really cool and it makes you proud of yourself!

Photoshop

I really enjoyed creating my animation! After struggling to make a 5 second GIF of a girl sipping coffee, it’s amazing to see the amount of work and effort that goes into hour-long movies. This activity has truly helped me appreciate how complicated the process is, and has even shown me a new hobby!
