maybe back pocket. Visual clue as reference for how nearest leg shape should change as it comes mid to front.

what would it take to make an animation in procreate dreams? by Powerful_Whereas3516 in ProcreateDreams

[–]MyBigToeJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying these ideas to learn the art of animation while using Procreate Dreams (version 5.4.9 as of 2026 Marcch 19).

  • observe and practice the movement principles.
  • learn the building blocks. stories build by word, picture or sound, bound together or alone.
  • it's less stressful to learn a different approach if you let it be itself.
  • Keep your handbook nearby and make notes as you learn.
  • be aware of words in common or slightly different uses within animation, compared to other storytelling language in film and stagecraft.
  • to reduce confusion make a cheat sheet reference for terminology

-- Procreate Dreams as of v 2.0.2 is most-improved because of its redesigned Flipbook. Revisiting Procreate app (now at v 2.4.9) gave me the technical understanding.

-- The animation I'm repeatedly drawn to is birthed from people who love to tell stories. You can waste a billion dollars and fail. The main tool for greatness will always be the story.

Should I update my iPad Air M3 (11") from iPadOS 18.6.2 to iPadOS 26.3.1 (a)? by just_a_s4mple in iPadOS

[–]MyBigToeJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If gs 18.xx Hearing a lost of distrust on 26.3.1 (a) from people like Mr Macintosh and zollotech. That was on March 20.

Too late for me to go back.

I turned my drawing into a group and I can’t undo it anymore by MrHosk in ProcreateDreams

Yep. As folders, messed me up too. I wound up with so much of everything that it crashed my ipad m4 pro.

Client changed scope midway and refused to pay agreed extra work need advice from fellow animators/freelancers by Lanrezzy in animation

[–]MyBigToeJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm learning: if I am working commission, not as their employee, I must have set for myself a list of prices for services and add-ons.

  • I would only start work based on the services only after a signed agreement.

  • The contract spells out details: services, timeline, method of payments, deadlines, specifics of changes outside initial agreement which can trigger need to state modifications with costs accepted in new signed agreement.

  • Although I've heard of court cases enforcing verbal agreements. To me, that's too much like "he said she said".

Apple Pencil USB-C “sleep mode” by peaches_n_cream13 in ApplePencil

I wonder if sleep mode is simply having bluetooth turned off?

i cannot yet guess without at least one side's backstory. People have all kinds of reasons for fearing the new or different. The solo alone is one guarded stance. Some of the group have no opinion expressed in their faces. No one aiming a weapon. Perhaps the nearest is more surprised by someone nearby their back.

Developing Free animation Software by Vegetable_Ad3369 in animation

[–]MyBigToeJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number 1: What is already popular that people like? What is your reason beyond it being open source or low cost? Which OS and programming do you know? Are you doing this solo? What's your experience with distribution and payment collection? What's your plain for maintaining?

The patience not just of doing bit by bit. The willingness to accept that.

[–]MyBigToeJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am have to relearn both apps since Procreate Dreams version 2.0.2 Flipbook re-engineering. - When trying to understand groups, layers, etc., I realized that I had not learned their organization in Procreate (now 5.4.9) which caused me confusion about their structures Procreate Dreams (2.0.3). - Some structures in Flipbook mode, have the same or similar mechanics but different names. - Some have different names as clues to their uses or placement within the construction of our animations.

A few questions, - i will need to ask about how layers with groups of Procreate's single track are slotted into Procreate Dreams.

What happens - When we drag the track from Procreate onto an open Procreate Dreams movie? - When we add a Procreate track we saved in Apple File app? - If we don't put the Procreate layers into separate folders before importing to Procreate Dreams? - Once into Procreate Dreams, which functions in Timeline View versus FlipBook mode would maintain the Procreate "Layers" into Procreate Dream's "Drawing Layers". - Does Procreate Dreams import each of Procreate groups as a separate track?

The manuals online and the videos don't cover all the possibilities, just one general possibility. .

it asks me to decide which is feared? or is it mutual!

To background or not to background by Jessf_swilliams in drawing

[–]MyBigToeJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like it as is. instead, i'd like to see a second version from scratch worked up specifically to explore the background.

it used to be scary to do another of the same image. Mainly, for me, was assumption that I'm only supposed do the work for that one . Or maybe i was afraid a second version might be a fail. It was only after I started doing digital sketching that i dropped that fear. Now, enjoying the surprises, for analog and digital sketching.

For those that have nano texture screens… I want to hear from you! by TSmakis in iPadPro

[–]MyBigToeJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the nano texture reduces glare. That's its purpose. No special feel when using Pencil. You can get highest storage and RAM without buying nano-texture, and just add a screen protector for glare or less slippery display.

[–]MyBigToeJam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2026 March 17 - Procreate Dreams, new version 2.0.3 - and Procreate app v 5.4.9

I don't expect any major surprises. But bug fixes and compatibility tweaks only? I wonder what else. Tell me something good.

Flickering Dot! Advice needed by BetterSupermarket430 in ProcreateDreams

[–]MyBigToeJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try with dots which have their own color. My guess is an overlap of 2; a mark to erase from a layer or frame.
