I’ve decided to expand the services I offer and include GIF animation along with illustration. I have created a fair amount of animation in the past, some of which can be found on my website.

Here is my latest production; a GIF inspired by Spring. I took some artwork I had previously created using Photoshop and a Wacom Cintiq, then redrew everything in Procreate using iPad, using many separate layers. I maxed-out Procreate due to the limited layers and only one timeline layer. (Still my favourite drawing app and will use for less complex animation.) So, I shifted everything over to After Effects and finished off with the assistance of Photoshop.

My ears are open for any recommended animation software for iPad? I briefly tried Animation Desk but it seemed it would be better used creating something from scratch rather than moving a work in progress across to it.

I hope you enjoy my animation. 🌈🐬🌸
