If you liked this lesson lesson and want to see more from Aaron Blaise, check out this studio tour I did with Aaron - ua-cam.com/video/htZwTfxLqhM/v-deo.html
Aaron Blaise is not only a master artist, but an incredibly gifted teacher. You’ll take away more in 30 minute demo than a university education. Looking forward to using dreams!
Literally five minutes in and have taken so many notes. Opened up Procreate multiple times in the middle of it to look over my stuff and see how to help it
I started watching this with the intention of checking out just a few minutes, but I ended up sitting through the entire thing. Aaron is a brilliant teacher and just watching him work and speak so passionately about animation makes me excited to download Dreams and make my own animations asap! And thank you Proko for putting out this great content and letting us watch it for free. I can't even describe how much I've learned (and continue to learn) from this channel.
This is the best advertisement for procreate dreams they ever could've made. Seeing Aaron zoom in on that timeline and show the compositing tools he used in his short made me gasp. These kinds of tools on an iPad! I'm sold
This is groundbreaking stuff for the ipad animation community.. You don't know how long we've waited for a procreate lvl animation app. This is like an early Christmas gift!
Aaron is just a master. Not only is he an amazing teacher, but he is also easy to follow and incredibly passionate. I own several of his art studies and he has helped out so much in my artistic endeavors.
I just downloaded the software and your tutorial is by FAR the best I've seen so far. Thanks for taking your time not only to show how to use the software but also to go over basic animation principles. You're a true animation legend ^_^.
For what I want to do with Procreate Dreams (frame animation replacing Animate/PS), this was the most useful guide on the software I've seen thusfar. Aaron is incredible.
Pure talent. The lesson’s animation style reminds me of the large green beast in the 1970s Japanese anime titled Arabian Nights: Sinbad’s Adventures. It was a low-frame-rate animation, typical of that era, yet beautiful.
I can't wait to try dreams out tomorrow!! This was so informative and it is always an honour to follow lessons by the absolute Master that Aaron Blaise is! I love how his love for animation always shines through and he is truly an amazing teacher💙
I do really like this guy he's so cool and passionate and even if he looks mature he feels young at heart, I really like the animation he made but when I will attempt that would require tremendous amount of free time. I didnt know hes the one who made the animation when the procreate dreams is introduced. amazing artist really.
Here’s an animation I think of making. Ciro. A music only and Sound effect less Animation about an anthropomorphic cat getting separated from his mom while they were on a stormy boat ride. Leaving him to be taken care of by the family of a jackalope he makes a close friendship with.
I can't believe Procreate Dreams is releasing tomorrow! So damn excited to play around with it, especially after trying it out at Lightbox Expo for a few minutes!
While we hope to have Aaron in studio to talk about starting a project from step one, LightBox Expo demos are loud Q & A process sessions, more than structured step-by-steps. Aaron's a fantastic teacher and we were lucky to be able to have him by during a very busy convention. Hopefully, when you have your hands on the app tomorrow and get to poke around the UI, there'll be something in here that benefits you well. We do know that Aaron and his team were hard at work on a course that may be more of what you're looking for right now.
Oddly enough, I originally started surfing the web today by reading up on an AI image generation thread discussing negative promps, which linked the video "Why AI art struggles with hands". Just as I discovered your guest comment below that video (calling AI art an opportunity for artists), the notification for this new video popped up. It's not particularly odd I'll admit, but still. I guess fate wants me to practice animating hands today.
I don’t think you realize the talent that you have for drawing which most people do not have. The fact that you can visualize where you want him to go and how he will bend and move in the perspective that is involved in that is a special talent that very few people possess. So while you make it look very easy, it is very very difficult for most of us. And learning a program in 10 minutes is amazing. Because I have been trying to learn Procreate for years and still can’t get it. Maybe I’m just not good at this type of thing. But I am an artist, that painting oil and acrylic and some watercolor. But learning this stuff is very hard for me.
I dont think you realize how much work and practice this man has put into mastering his craft, this is something you learn in a lifetime, no-one is born with this.
Here after officially downloading it and getting overwhelmed at all the ideas I can finally execute 😂 This video was great! I hope I can get my niece to learn this too!
Bought the app, am disappointed. This thing is not ready for prime time, despite Aaron being able to do amazing stuff with it. It’s missing a lot of things I consider to be bare bones. Not worth 20 dollars or even 10 right now. It will be eventually if they keep working on it, but right now, it’s not there.
Toonsquid is fully baked iPad animation software. Callipeg too. Clip Studio Paint works really well, but is a bit complex because it’s real anime software that Japanese studios use.
You’re absolutely correct. This app is not ready to contend with other professional animation software. Like you said, it’s missing a lot of things. I’d like to add that the timeline functionality is so bloody awkward, finicky and glitchy. There’s a long way to go before this app is able to live up to the hype.
A large part of that is handled by him getting those first key poses done before he goes in and draws the inbetweens. It allows you to do the big work up front with less drawings and see where your issues are before you commit to working on something with bad portions in it
Proko team member Stephen here! I used Dreams when it first came out to make a few games and really liked it. It was all I could think about when Procreate announced this new app haha
Thanks for the walkthrough, could you tell me how much storage is necessary to create in dreams? If I were to make a 1 minute clip for example, about how much storage it would take up? I'm about to get a new ipad, and I'm trying to figure out if 128gb would be enough for creating in dreams.
It ranges. What one person might do in one 30 second clip might be way less layers, keyframes and more. If you're getting a new ipad, just make sure you can get one that can connect to a hard drive and you can dump your files as needed or otherwise back them up.
Hav 0 interest in animation but now im thinking about trying this out haha aaron is great person to sell this. Unless its ipad only and not on android too
Hi, once the raw animation is created (frame by frame), is it possible to do the finishing and details in procreate dreams? I notice that the brushes can't be modified like in procreate. I use procreate to improve the lines and make better illustrations, but I don't know how to do it in Dreams. If Dreams does not have this capability, what is the most efficient way to export all my frames frame by frame, also I notice that if I drag and drop into Dreams, it alters the order of those frames. I appreciate any help or tutorials on how to get into a more advanced stage of animation.
@@Fragaboom We got to spend some more time with released version of the app and it looks like the lasso tool isn't in this first build. They've said that they'll be adding that in soon, though.
It's going to have a little bit of a learning curve with some of the deeper features but $20 is a good price for the great brush emulation, even if you just use the flipbook style interface. You'll want to look up what the gesture controls are, like two finger tapping for undo. Here's a good video that'll get you prepped! ua-cam.com/video/ES6ic8YY3BE/v-deo.htmlsi=rTMiR800rDB11f-1
O.k. So this is for experienced ANIMATORS who already know keyframes ,4K, etc. On the first day of release of this Australian project we have an experienced USA person show us what professionals who have already used animation programs and apps. can do. Will be looking intently on how this teacher approaches the beginner lessons that have been promised by Proko.
That's not going to be a question that we can answer, unfortunately. Procreate's been pretty good about responding to people on socials during this launch window. Reach out on there and they should be able to help!

It was so great being a part of this! Thanks for having me as always!
I learned so much from this video! Thank you for sharing this!
I appreciate you doing it 🙏🏼
Thanks for doing this, it was great getting to watch you show off the app!
@AaronBlaiseArt what brush did you use??
Dude draw way too much animals that I completely forgot how good he's at human anatomy
There is something satisfying about someone older teaching kids about tech. You don't see that everyday
Such a great point. Didn't think of that at first👍
He’s not teaching you about tech he’s teaching you about animation
It’s cuz they close to death so no reason to lie
Especially someone with so much experience doing it professionally or just has a lot of experience in general
@JohndocsX.Ddepends, it’s more often older people that are clueless to new tech than younger people
Aaron Blaise is not only a master artist, but an incredibly gifted teacher. You’ll take away more in 30 minute demo than a university education. Looking forward to using dreams!
Literally five minutes in and have taken so many notes. Opened up Procreate multiple times in the middle of it to look over my stuff and see how to help it
Aaron is so cool. You can tell his passion and love for animation is still as strong as when he started and it’s super inspiring!
I started watching this with the intention of checking out just a few minutes, but I ended up sitting through the entire thing. Aaron is a brilliant teacher and just watching him work and speak so passionately about animation makes me excited to download Dreams and make my own animations asap!

This is groundbreaking stuff for the ipad animation community.. You don't know how long we've waited for a procreate lvl animation app. This is like an early Christmas gift!
There's nothing that this can do that Clip studio paint can't. And CS is also a full fat digital art software
Aaron is just a master. Not only is he an amazing teacher, but he is also easy to follow and incredibly passionate. I own several of his art studies and he has helped out so much in my artistic endeavors.
Watching proko videos is always a nice way to relax, with the aded benefit of learning a lot.

My two FAVORITE TEACHERS of all time… “Creature Art Teacher” & “Proko”! Can’t get any better than that!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
11:10, wow, this is amazing! I’m so excited to animate the short film I’ve been planning on here.
Yes! Do it! And share it with us on socials!
You can't not click a Proko notification when it says Aaron Blaise in it !
It’s so cool to learn from a true master ☺️
Pure talent. The lesson’s animation style reminds me of the large green beast in the 1970s Japanese anime titled Arabian Nights: Sinbad’s Adventures. It was a low-frame-rate animation, typical of that era, yet beautiful.
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen! Can’t wait for my new iPad to come in to give this software a try.
Enjoy!
He really dropped a lot of great information in this video
I didn't get anything. I mean it taught about animation but not actually how to use the program
Im learning how to draw but animation seems like such a daunting task. So fun!
It can be! But Aaron shows a great way to break this down and make it more manageable.
Good luck with your learning!
@@ProkoTV thank you! Proko is the best
A master at work. Aaron a my second favorite artist, the first is
gotcha, just kidding I like many artists
I can't wait to try dreams out tomorrow!! This was so informative and it is always an honour to follow lessons by the absolute Master that Aaron Blaise is! I love how his love for animation always shines through and he is truly an amazing teacher💙
It was wonderful to watch in person! The app has so much potential and seeing what everyone makes with it is going to be amazing.
@@ProkoTV Exactly! It's gonna be the first good animation program accessible to pretty much everyone, and I'm here for it!
Aaron is an absolute Master!
HE'S LEFT HANDED JUST LIKE ME 🤜❤️
This man is a legend.
Agreed!
Yeah we need more animation videos
I’m so happy to see this! Animation;is an art form of it’s own. I really need to learn more
Aaron is amazing love watching his streams
My left handed brother! Purchased and waiting for midnight. No sleep till the holidays!!
Good luck with the animating!!
This is going to be insane as soon as we have liquify and a lasso tool!
I do really like this guy he's so cool and passionate and even if he looks mature he feels young at heart, I really like the animation he made but when I will attempt that would require tremendous amount of free time. I didnt know hes the one who made the animation when the procreate dreams is introduced. amazing artist really.
Loooove the little penguin animation. ❤
Proko and Aaron Blaise in one vid??? Hell yeah!!
You should check out our zoo drawing trip video lol
Great work, Mr. Aaron, I think you should be called "Sir" in Animation. With love from Ethiopia.
This is such a useful tutorial! Love the idea of incorporating animation into the image. Thank you for sharing this! 🤩🙌✨
Amazing tutorial thanks Proko & Aaron ❤
Here’s an animation I think of making.
Ciro.
A music only and Sound effect less Animation about an anthropomorphic cat getting separated from his mom while they were on a stormy boat ride. Leaving him to be taken care of by the family of a jackalope he makes a close friendship with.
Beautiful 💖 Can't wait for your course on Procreate Dreams 👍😍
I came for a demo, and got a lesson in animation....this dude is awesome!
I can't believe Procreate Dreams is releasing tomorrow! So damn excited to play around with it, especially after trying it out at Lightbox Expo for a few minutes!
Wowwwww. What a time to be alive
This is awesome 💯 just downloaded excited to make some new animations! Thanks for making this video!
Aaron is the coolest dude ever!
I have no idea what I'm doing. But I've been learning and I'm excited.
That's one of the best situations to be in!
can't wait to get the app tomorrow!!
Good teachers do not assume you know the app.This was released today and this guy is into the details before he takes a step.
While we hope to have Aaron in studio to talk about starting a project from step one, LightBox Expo demos are loud Q & A process sessions, more than structured step-by-steps.
Aaron's a fantastic teacher and we were lucky to be able to have him by during a very busy convention. Hopefully, when you have your hands on the app tomorrow and get to poke around the UI, there'll be something in here that benefits you well.
We do know that Aaron and his team were hard at work on a course that may be more of what you're looking for right now.
Cant wait til tomorrow
Very inspiring thank you for your tutorial 🙏 technology is incredible

I wish it were as straight forward as procreate. It's a steep learning curve for me
Saw this at the Lightbox convention not long ago! Can't wait!!

Here after officially downloading it and getting overwhelmed at all the ideas I can finally execute 😂 This video was great! I hope I can get my niece to learn this too!
Same xD
@@silver6071 I hope you’re having fun learning it!
can we cut out parts of the drawing. theres no select tool
Wow that was unbelievably helpful for me
Love this! its truly amazing! the only downside is screen size. I hope there is 22' screen of ipad!
this video is so usefully
pure gold ❤❤❤
One more dayyyyy! Thanks for this

What a masterclass. Can’t wait to get creating. How do you avoid your animation drifting in size between drawings?
A large part of that is handled by him getting those first key poses done before he goes in and draws the inbetweens. It allows you to do the big work up front with less drawings and see where your issues are before you commit to working on something with bad portions in it
Im so happy seeing this
Have you ever used Sony’s Platstation DREAMS animation program ? I bought it for my son when it first came out and he’s really good at it.
Proko team member Stephen here! I used Dreams when it first came out to make a few games and really liked it.
It was all I could think about when Procreate announced this new app haha
This is so interesting
I find it so hard moving the time line for me. It moves the screen constantly instead of grabbing the frame
Turns out it’s possible to ungroup a grouped track to add and change frames.
thank you for the share :)
I swear... Aaron Blaise is the Raid Shadow Legends of Animation
Just holding it down in the background lol
Love this

Is there a way to select your drawing or parts of your drawing in drawing mode? In earlier videos there seemed to be a “select” option
Definitely! There are tools to reposition and select portions.
Thanks, dude!
@@Fragaboom We got to spend some more time with released version of the app and it looks like the lasso tool isn't in this first build. They've said that they'll be adding that in soon, though.
Thanks for following up. I was beta testing and asked for it there as well. That and a camera to keyframe.
As someone who wants to get into animation, do you think this is good for beginners?
It's going to have a little bit of a learning curve with some of the deeper features but $20 is a good price for the great brush emulation, even if you just use the flipbook style interface.
You'll want to look up what the gesture controls are, like two finger tapping for undo.

In anticipation for dreams, I did an animation in the old inbuilt procreate thing for one 6 hour session and now spent all of my energy .-.

The program looks amazing. I want to try it but I don't even have an Ipad yet. Lots of savings to make, I guess 🤣
What's different or stands out/special about dreams than animation assist in procreate?
I think he's a master at it because he's been applying the fundamentals for 35+ years more then just knowing them....
Can you use foot pedals with that to go back and forth between frames?
There may be a way to set it up with an input of some sort but it's not a thing we've seen anyone online set up.
omg, he’s just like me when it comes to the double tap feature on the apple pencil lol, I just forget that it exists too 🤣
Same here!
What brush is that
Shoutout to all the lefty’s✍🏾✨✨✨
