hiii guys! here’s how I make my illustrated GIFs with Procreate for Instagram stories - I filmed this before I applied to Giphy, so this video focuses on how to make and share your own GIFs for personal use, rather than publicly through Giphy. If you’d like to learn how I applied to Giphy (and how one of my GIFs randomly went viral???), I made a separate video about my experience & answering questions about that, which you can find here: timestamps: 0:29 sketching out ideas 2:35 sparkle/flashing effect 7:43 line drawing effect 8:49 marquis/flashing effect 9:31 rocking motion 10:15 copying & adding GIFs as IG story stickers tools & materials: - procreate app - iPad - apple pencil - texture-y brush set that I love! the vine charcoal sketch brush is my all-time fav - #cYZZT quick disclaimer: this video doesn’t cover the basics of Procreate, so if you’re a beginner to the app, I would recommend watching this tutorial first! ( learning the shortcuts and abilities of the app will you help you a ton when following this video! if you’re stuck on technique or just how GIFs work in procreate, Lisa Bardot also made a great technical video on how to create GIFs! hopefully that will help fill in anything I skipped. :) if you have any questions, please feel free to comment below and I’ll do my best to help. can’t wait to see your cute gifs! ♥ mac p.s. sorry if the “jiff” pronunciation drives you crazy, lol - but I looked it up and the ~creator of the GIF~ said that’s how you pronounce it!! so I’m sticking with it ;) . also! one thing I learned is that if you’re exporting a gif for your insta stories, you’ll want the Animated GIF file format. if you want to post the gif on your instagram FEED, you’ll need to export it as an Animated MP4. hopefully that saves you some time!! - - - music is from EpidemicSound: my oh my - frook old photos - cospe tomboy t-shirts - peachy pavement perfect storm - the eastern plain about me: I'm an illustrator from Vancouver, WA! I make & sell art on my Etsy shop, The Gladdest Thing. I also make commissioned work - you can find all info on pricing and projects on my website! I love dogs, unfancy coffee, 80s nostalgia, and anything with stripes. I'm glad you're here. ♥ come say hi! etsy: insta: website: commissions:
