Summary

Procreate is a versatile tool that enables you to draw as well as animate. The Animation Assist interface is optimized to facilitate your needs as a 2D animator. In this chapter, you were introduced to the features of this interface, which allow you to easily animate by making subtle changes in your drawings over time to create smooth and natural motion.

Animation Assist has specialized tools to preview your animation, tweak its settings, and edit individual frames. With animation settings, we discussed how aspects such as frame rate and onion skins are useful while creating an animation. Under Frame options, we talked about how each frame can have its own settings and take on specialized roles. At the end of this chapter, you are now familiar with all these tools and are able to use them to create polished 2D animations.

The next chapter will introduce you to a feature similar to Animation Assist, but with a special focus on using Procreate as a sketchbook.
